Thanks for spreading the word B00. This isn't a perfect script by far, so if anyone would like to go the last mile and clean it up before I do, it would be really cool of ya.

Language definitions for syntax highlighting in Notepad++

I used notepad++ to create a language definition file for ppmck mml. This means that as you type mml keywords, notepad++ will highlight the terms. I used four different colors, one for each classification of keyword. You have to download my userdefinelanguage.xml file and overwrite your file in note...

Yes, as of now there really is no good way to extract mml from an nsf. This is why I am asking if you guys know of any good sites that have mml.

tutorials are nice and all but this is more in practice information rather than "how to code in mml, the guide". I mean you can learn all the stuff but what good is it if you don't know how to make good tunes? That is what this topic is geared to. While 2a03.org and the like are nice, they...

Good MML Sites

Edit: This topic is not for "how to code mml" guides. This topic is for good sites to learn how to make good tunes with MML. Please post any sites you find that provide good mml files. I'd say the biggest problem with mml is not the interface (or lack thereof) but the pitiful support the f...

So I gave it a shot anyways - it doesn't sound bad at all. I guess the original sample was just the right length. It must have been the way the programmers created the dmc.

I don't really know what those numbers are either. I just know that they relate to time somehow. In frinika (a free midi composer), you can highlight a note and it shows you the length of that note visually and with that number format (0:000). I was hoping to just dive in there and figure it out mys...

I can't use the four samples I have because I need the notes to be sustained at three specific times. When you change the pitch you also speed up the play back time, and this is undesirable for specific note times. This is the list I made: Different lengths used. 0:360 0:240 0:120 4d#: 240,120 4d: 2...

So I counted the three different note times I need, and along with the 13 notes I have a total of 23 dmc files I need to make (about two timings per note). The only problem is that I don't have the source wav files. All I have are dmc samples. I have seen pages and pages of wavtodmc programs, but wh...

First of all thank you for that program disch. Without your help I wouldn't have been able to get this far. Using your program, I am playing the samples all at the same speed; 5. I closely compared them to the source to get my notes at that speed. The way I see it, they created these dmcs with the s...

Ha, no. I was saying that when I went looking for the samples to recreate the song, I expected it to end there. I didn't think the sample ripping program was holding out on me, and I had to go craft my own dmcs with the 4 samples. I thought I was given all the dmcs available (ingredients) to make th...

I have trouble understanding something about DPCM. If I can only see 4 samples from the song, I and can get those same 4 samples, why can't I create all the same music that the song can? The way I am seeing it, it's like having the same ingredients as the chef next to you, but for some reason you ca...

MML DPCM - few questions

I am trying to recreate a Fester's Quest bass line. The song is Track 3 (overworld). I found 4 dmc samples to use from an old archive in 2a03. The samples are called fesLO, fesMEDLO, fesMEDHI, and fesHI. This is obviously telling me something about what pitch the dmc is in. However, when I tested ou...
