abcMIDI

abcMIDI is a handy tool that allows you to convert ABC music notation files to MIDIs, in a simple and quick manner.

The utility is built with the help of C language and can be operated from Command Line. It helps you process individual ABC files, by converting one or all the tracks contained within.

The abcMIDI package comes with a series of tools that you can help you manage the ABC files with ease.

The program includes expansions such as guitar chords, drum accompaniment or support for microtones.

abcMIDI can help you generate musical scores and save them in MIDI format, as well as handle lyrics or create karaoke MIDI files.

You can handle repeat symbols, which is a convenient feature especially when you need to work with lyrics files. Moreover, it can create different types of MIDI files, depending if the ABC contains voice layers or not.

The tool can handle each instrument channel and assign a new track or channel to every voice in the ABC tune.

The program allows you, however, to change the channel assignment with the help of a dedicated Command Line argument.

abcMIDI allows you to convert all the tunes in the ABC file, or select a single one, using the proper command.

You may select the verbose option or choose the name of the output file. You can control the length of the stem file name, as well as use the desired rate of broken rhythms.

Other commands include suppressing common warnings, use the default tempo or ignore all the fermata markings.

The program features a separate function for differentiating tracks from lyrics and allows you to invoke a stress model, if possible.

Given the fact that abcMIDI is written in the C language and features no graphical interface, it can be deployed on multiple operating systems or platforms.
