Magnius Guide to Pokemon Music Hacking

Erm, when I edit the instruments in a midi in Anvil Studio, what does that channel number fir a track do and what effect will it have on the sound of the song in-game?

 

[Kronos]

The track number has no real effect if that's what you're referring to.

 

[Larsie13]

Well, he doesn't mean the track numbr, but the MIDI Channel number, as in:
@**************** Track 1 (Midi-Chn.1) ****************@
But if that has any effect on how it sounds, I don't know. Probably not.

I mean that because I have windows xp not vista that the solution to my first question didn't help.

 

[Aljam]

whenever I I click assemble song the program crashes. Ive tryied everything and I need help.

Well the channel 10 should be used for the drum track always. The other channels don't matter.

Anyway, I'd just like to express my compliments on this tutorial, I easily learnt how to insert music. And the video tutorial is very helpful :P

 

[timeshero2]

This is a damn good tutorial for this. Worked for me =D

 

[Sleepwalker]

Can you export the music from G/S/C and import it to FR? How do you if you can?

 

[Saxisai]

i cant seem to do this, every time i do it (exactly as you have in your tutorial), it gives me the Healing song in place of the Pokemon Theme instead of what i had inserted, i have done all 3 steps correctly and it doesnt work...please help

 

[ThePastaThrower]

Good tutorial if Sappy would work. I get 2 Run-time Errors when I start it. I'm using Vista.

 

[Fox3292]

i have the same problem. do you use windows vista? i think the reason i have the problems i do is because i use windows vista :S

 

[onyx79]

Hey I've download the 2 programs and they both don't work and I have a windows XP can you fix the download?
also can I insert ANY kind of music in my hack?

 

[Mr. Twister]

does anybody have vbalCbEx6.ocx

Sappy doesnt wanna start :\

 

[number 2]

can you convert wav. files into midi files? because that would be helpful

 

[Wichu]

No, .wav files merely store the data of the sound wave. A .midi file stores the actual notes and instruments. It's easy to create a sound wave from notes played on an instrument, but much harder to figure out which instrument and notes are being played from just a sound wave.

 

[PlatniumPiano]

Maginus, I have a question...
How long can a song be in order for it to fit into the ROM? I don't want to push it, but the key change to my song really adds depth. Overall, the song is 1:14. Is that too long or am I far from exceeding the limit lol?

HELP

I have a problem with Sappy. When I open my Fire Red rom with it, I get a message saying "Sappy has stopped working". Help anyone? I'm using Vista Ultimate if that helps.

Same Here! It Always Closes Down! I Am Using Vista Home Premium. Please Help!

 

[Korronensu]

Wonderful vid tutorial. I added Spiders by System of a down and it worked like a dream. Keep up the good work. Maybe make a vid tutorial about voicegroups sometime.

 

[LOLMAN656]

Thanx ;D Master of Puppets in Title Screen = Win :)

 

[LOLMAN656]

mine says "Can't find file MPlayDef.s" for incluson. Assembling halted." :/ What does that mean?
Edit: Fixed it. The song had to be in the same folder as Mid2Agb. :P
