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?
 
The track number has no real effect if that's what you're referring to.
 
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.
 
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
 
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
 
can you convert wav. files into midi files? because that would be helpful
 
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.
 
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!
 
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.
 
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
