Command-line utility to merge multiple MIDI files in a single file?

[Basslint]

Hello,

is there a program that can merge multiple MIDI files in a single file?

Example usage: Let's say I have the MIDI files for each part of a piece (cello, violin, piano) and I want to turn it into a single MIDI file of the entire composition with each instrument having its separate track.

Hi @Basslint,

you could try https://pjb.com.au/midi/midisox.html

Code: Select all

 -m | -M | --combine concatenate|merge|mix|sequence

    Select the input file combining method; -m means mix, -M merge. If the mix combining method is selected (with -m) then two or more input files must be given and will all be mixed together into one MIDI-track. A mixed file cannot be un-mixed.

    If the merge combining method is selected (with -M), then the merged file contains all of the MIDI-tracks from all of the input files; un-merging is possible using multiple invocations of midisox with the mixer effect. The merging process attempts to avoid channel-conflicts by renumbering channels in the later files as necessary (however, a total of only fifteen MIDI-channels is available).

Thanks, I actually found a repository for it:
