So chatgpt, your new woke overlord, can make MIDI data to represent a melody. I can't seem to figure out how to turn this data into sound. Apparently, Audacity can do this. It will also write programs in Python to accomplish this but I'm not into code and I keep getting syntax errors.

What I would like to do is copy RobotOverlord's MIDI data, and create a file that can be played in Audacity.
Has anyone figured this out yet? Thx

Saw that.

I converted/compiled these chunks with binasc and the resulting .mid file doesn't load in any midi compatible app.

The MThd is ok though, it's the MTrk that is invalid. It's just a succession of identical Four-byte values.

Thank you. Will try another route to figure this out.

Got it to load but it's still corrupt and doesn't ouput anything (plays a few seconds of empty track).

Use a text editor and change

MThd: to "MThd"

MTrk to "MTrk"

compile the .txt file to a binary with binasc with the following command

binasc midi_data.txt -c midi_data.mid

To install binasc

git clone http://github.com/craigsapp/binasc cd binasc make make install

Mighty kind of you. Will give this a shot.
