SCI0 / SCI1 Sounds to MIDI?

[CTxCB]

I've tried SoundBox, which doesn't export to MIDI. Is there a modern program I can use to do this?

[Kawa]

SV can do it. I use it myself. And I use its command-line counterpart for mass ops.

Use SV V1 to export to MIDI. The latest version (that has a separate EXEs for GUI and command line) has a bug with music playback and doesn't play all channels properly (exporting has the same problem).

The SCI Sound Utilities can. It uses an updated SoundToMidi that Gumby did. You can also do it in bulk.

Oh, right on!

Thanks, I'll finally be able to learn to play the theme tune to the first two games in the Hoyle Franchise (Since they both have the same theme tune, along with most of the same artwork). Sadly, though, SV.EXE doesn't have support for LSCI (Large-Scale SCI) which was created by Jeff Stephenson to manage the networking for The Sierra Network, which later became The ImagiNation Network once AT&T bought half of the service. I so wanted to learn to play the map theme for INN.

Yes, it can... But not for me. I'm unable to run SoundToMIDI because it is a 16-Bit Program because I'm using a 64-Bit version of Windows. As I quote from the error window: "Unsupported 16-Bit Application: The program or feature 'Snd2MIDI.EXE' cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available."

I use DOSBox and/or VirtualBox in those cases.

How do I use DOSBox to get all the MIDI Music Channels? I've tried SV.EXE but it's weird and although the tracks are fine, they do weird things like one track seems to build up notes instead of them stopping once finished, making a horrible mess. My side-plan of doing this was to remix the Hoyle I Theme with the Hoyle III Theme in one song, I made something interesting, but not in a good way. Also, another problem here with INN in specific, is that the game doesn't connect anymore because obviously all the servers and stuff are dead now, so I can't get the map music that way.

I use DOSBox to run 16-bit DOS apps like the Sierra SCI interpreters. I run Windows 3.11 -in- DOSBox to run old Win apps. And I run Windows 98 in VirtualBox for old 16-bit Win apps that won't accept 3.11.

So which of these is SoundToMIDI?

Ah, I'll try that out in a bit. SV.EXE seems to be useless with the task at hand.

That's the original version (Snd2MIDI), I ported this to a 32 bit application (SoundToMIDI).  Bad choice of naming on my part, it's not very clear.  You can grab the SCI Sound Utilities here:  http://sci.sierrahelp.com/Files/DL/SCISoundUtilsSetup.zip.php

So, uh, The theme tune to Hoyle Vol. I & II (sound.010) worked fine converting with that and there were no problems, but it only works on SCI0 sounds, I have no way to convert SCI1+ sounds, such as the theme tune to Hoyle Vol. III (800.snd), or the music for INN which also has the xxx.snd format. What do I use for those?

Thanks for those. It's much appreciated, now to only find a way to convert them to MIDI files.

Try copying the files to a SCI1 game's folder, and opening it in SV.exe.
