Sid player/Tracker that shows notes.
category: general [glöplog]
Does anyone know of any tracker or player that opens .sid format and/or can show the notes and effect numbers? Basically a ripoff utility :D
Ahem. There are no "effect numbers" in a protracker sense anyway. Your best chance is to convert the *.sid to a *.mid file, I guess.
I guess this is what you want: http://www.remix64.com/new_sid2midi_version.html
Thank you sir.

The only thing I can recommend is to listen to the sids you consider advanced soundwise - not with SIDPlay2/w however, but using Open Cubic Player. It is the only SID player (AFAIK) capable of analyzing the contents of SID registers while playing back the tune.
It shows (in realtime, I'm afraid - couldn't find the SLOWDOWN button, although the PAUSE is there, under P key ;D) the waveform, ADSR, filter type and pulse width for each of three SID channels, plus it indicates whether a sample is played or not (old PSID format only, no RSID supported). In other words, with some effort, you can see "how it's done", and decode _every imaginable instrument ever done on C64_.
Find the player here:

...and don't pay much attention to the sound fidelity. Yes, it is quite outdated.

...just remembered. Open Cubic Player also gives you some insight into what notes are played (approximately - could be a halftone off at times) and if ring modulation or synchronization is used.
hollowman, I guess he wants to retrieve the note data in a straight forward fashion to process them in a midi sequencer. Analyzing pulse widths and ring mods by pressing 'p' every few milliseconds (+ running the whole thing in dosbox) might be a bit overkill. Not to mention the overall buggyness of cp. ;)
