Music Adjustment
Music File Converter Box presents you the option to adjust your music file:
Note Separation
You can make the staccato effect for the notes of equal pitch going one by one.
Check off the Note Separation check box and set the number in the edit
field that determines how many ticks (one tick is equal to one-hundredth of a
second) there will be from the note duration for a break between the next note
with the same pitch.
Break Options
To make a converted file more musical, there are interesting and useful options
in the Music File Converter Box: Break After and Break Length.
You can set their parameters in the number of ticks (one tick is equal to
one-hundredth of a second) for the pattern of tremolo sounding of the converted
file.
Check off the Break After check box and set in the edit field the number
which defines the time between breaks in ticks. The Break Length check
box will be checked off automatically with the default parameter equal to 1
tick.
Set in the edit field of Break Length the time of the break you want in ticks.
Transposition
You can transpose the MIDI file to definite numbers of semi-tones. Check off the Transpose
check box and set the number of semi-tones in the edit field. The positive
numbers pitch the audio frequency up; the negative numbers pitch the audio
frequency down.
Note: The MIDI file can play 128 different notes. Cybiko Computer can play 99 different notes. To convert a MIDI file to a
Cybiko Computer music file correctly, you need to set the transposition number so the converted music file will be in
Cybiko Computer audio range.
If you check off the Auto-transpose check box, the program will
transpose the converted file automatically to set the music file in Cybiko Computer
range.
