This program can read and interpret midi files. To load in a midi file, you can open a .mid file in a hex editor. In the hex editor you can copy the hex data and paste it in this program. I've loaded a midi file for the nyan cat song in rom location 5.
I've also made a midi file player: https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/topic.php?id=1877

Ah, I forgot that you could create your own player instead of using the Sound Composer format :O
You could use ON VBL CALL to create a MIDI player which plays without affecting the main program.

@G-9 thanks
@Timo thanks, good idea, but I'm probably still going to make a converter, now that the program can read midi it shouldn't be that hard

So I want to get back to this project and make a scheduler so that it can play multiple tracks at once, I've already designed a nice system to do that but... my code in this midi reader is such a mess, it's kind of hard to change the order of operations (instead of reading delta times, waiting that amount, and executing commands, it's gonna have to execute the command, and then read a delta time for the next command (so the scheduler knows how long it's gonna take))

Long blocks of code are the worst to work with
Breaking it up into subprograms made it so much more maintainable
