A downloadable tool

Buy Now$7.00 USD or more

Convert midi files to hUGEdriver format (uge) for use with your GBDK, GB Studio, RGBDS projects. Includes an extensive manual on how to prepare midis downloaded from the internet, refine the initial mapping and perform post conversion cleanup as well as a preview ROM of the default instruments. 

Works standalone in Windows and with Python install on Mac or Linux. Produces UGE for hUGETracker v1.x or higher (doesn't work with beta 9 for older Gb Studio versions). 

No coding or digital audio workstation experience required!

Disclaimer: 

Some midis simply do not convert properly. If you are downloading midis of popular songs it is suggested you try various versions to find the best results. The best results come from prepping midis as described in the manual or at least using user-aided mapping.

If you are planning to import a single song and going to be very upset if it doesn't work perfectly, message me on Discord @beatscribe, I will let you know if it converts well and give you some manual mapping tips. I'd rather have this than someone asking for refunds.

Extensive testing has shown the following:

  • Auto-mapping - 25% success rate 
  • User-aided manual mapping - 60% success rate 
  • Pre-cleaned/Edited MIDI + User-aided manual mapping  - 80% success rate 

Converted .UGE files work with the latest versions of RGBDASM, GBDK and GB Studio version 3.2.1 or higher (must support hUGEDriver 1 or higher, not beta 9).

Thank you for your efforts! Just bought this. I was using OpenMPT to convert midi to mod there, but now after going through your tutorials on GBStudio Central and seeing how dynamic hUGETracker is, I'm switching over :).

Thanks!! After one midi to openMPT copy paste to hUGEtracker marathons I just had to build this!

I already trust this so of course I buy this one ! Just did! Let me study the software and I'll be back with feedbacks!

Thanks. We will probably make a version 2 so if you find anything particularly bad, let me know. However, also keep in mind auto-convert is very hit or miss (thats why I show the Dr Wily auto convert going totally wrong in the video, and how to fix, I want to be honest).

Any chance for a linux version too?

This one is! Check the PDF, you just need to install python. It has all the command lines included. Tested in various Linux systems too.
