Oh wow, I didn't know that! Also, I presume E2 now has the features necessary to implement MIDI playback? Would love to see that happening at some point.

If I were to ever make a new version, I would have it try to play the MIDI directly. This would avoid the loss of information on more complex MIDIs. I never would have considered this 16 years ago, as the Expression 2 was lacking in some important features that makes creating more complex chips difficult (like custom functions), and Garry's Mod was lacking the ability to load binary files from Lua due to relying on the Lua function that pushes normal NULL terminated strings instead of the Lua function that pushes strings with a defined length. Fun fact: I'm the one who managed to convince Garry to add support for binary files.

@Jcw87 Thank you for the response. I've used simple MIDIs but I still don't get any sound at all. I have a button wired correctly, too. Still, that converter is a great idea! Do you think you'd ever make an updated version?

@Apollon The only thing you should need to do is wire a button to it and then press the button to start it. But, I did make that around 16 years ago. Any number of things could have changed to break it. Maybe it's just the server you are trying it on. Or it could be that the MIDI is too complex to ever sound good. I mostly used MIDIs that came from a program that converted NES music to MIDI.

Hello! I stumbled upon your MIDI to Expression 2 converter, however when I tried to use the generated code in-game, I couldn't get it to work. Am I missing something? What's the correct way to use the generated E2?

YOU'RE THE BEST I'VE BEEN STUCK AT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. jokes aside tho, i really appreaciate that you took ur time to awnser these question. god bless ur soul and i hope you have a good life man, i wish u the best :)
