Hi all,

I finally got an adlib card in my IBM 5150. Now I want to convert the pile of MIDI files I have to .ROL so I can play them on the adlib card. I ran across this information online, but I can't seem to find the actual program. I think the program is called MIDI2ROL.
Here's the readme/info I've found, which sounds EXACTLY like what I want to do:

MIDI to AdLib Converter
Copyright(C) 1991, Patch Panel Software, All Rights Reserved

Patch Panel Software has developed a MIDI-to-AdLib converter that
is very successful converting MIDI standard files to AdLib's .ROL
file format. This is no small feat considering MIDI is for all
intents and purposes a 32-bit timing standard while AdLib's
hardware and software imposes a 16-bit timing standard. The
converter routinely tolerates the 480 Tick-per-beat resolution
frequently found in MIDI files.

See ADROL1.EXE, ADROL2.EXE, and ADROL3.EXE for self-extracting
libraries of over forty files as examples of the converter's
work. Very large files can be converted. So far no MIDI file
has been found to be too large for the converter, although
theoretically one could be. Pieces 16-20 minutes long are easily
converted.

The output files are fully compatible with AdLib's Composer(tm)
program for editing. They can be used wherever .ROL files are
used (Composer(tm), JukeBox(tm), PopTunes(tm)).

In a test of over 50 MIDI files, the converter produced useful
conversions for over 85% of the files. The unsuccessful
conversions fell roughly equally into 2 categories: junk music
and too complex music. Junk means it was bad to begin with. Too
complex means the files required too many voices, often 20-30
voices versus AdLib's 9-11.

This is an excellent tool for any AdLib user who wants to collect
music for playback on their AdLib boards. Editing files is slow;
converting files is fast. If you purchase shareware disks of
MIDI files, the price is under 60 cents per useable tune. There
is a wide assortment of MIDI music available, and the work is
generally more ambitious work than AdLib users typically see.

The converter is also a good tool for MIDI users who want to tap
this market with their work.

You can scan the file to get a report of the contents to help you
plan your conversion. You also get rolplayr.exe, a program to
play .ROL files without the burden of a graphics interface for
easier testing. Multi-track files are no problem. Tempo and
tick-per-beat can be adjusted. Patch-to-instrument mapping gives
you control over the instrument selection for program changes.
Volume control is also supported.

The converter costs $25.00 (Fla. add $1.75 tax). A 30-page
document is included. Specify disk size. Hard disk recommended.

Anyone have this or know where it can be downloaded?

Thanks!
