midi2mod
is a specialized utility designed to bridge the gap between two of the most influential formats in computer music history: the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) protocol and the MOD (Module) tracker format . While MIDI contains only performance instructions, MOD files combine those instructions with actual digital samples, a hallmark of the 1990s demoscene and early retro gaming.
If you have a modern computer running FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic, why would you ever want to generate a MOD file?
Note Lengths:
MIDI uses "Note Off" messages, whereas trackers often use "Note Cut" or "Note Release." You may need to manually adjust the duration of notes after conversion.
