Thank you for downloading MIDI2txt. This python program is designed to convert a MIDI file (.mid) into a list of numbers separated by a comma corresponding to the notes played in the order that they are played. The program will take all MIDI files in the same directory and output a corresponding text file (with the same name as the MIDI file).

If a MIDI files contains the notes (in order of being played): C3,C3,D3,E3,C3

the program will produce a text file (.txt) that will have one line: 60,60,62,64,60
