Hey folks,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but it's DOS music related.

Basically, since XMI does not contain specification for Note Off data, XMI2MID converters seem to apply it differently.
FalcoSoft uses a value of 0, kode54 uses a value of 64, and still others use the same value as the Note On event (different each time).

To convert XMI tracks properly to GM, which method should be used? The game I am converting uses Adlib for music, in case that's relevant.

Value of 0 is what I see for Note Off on the MIDI captures I did with real hardware from Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2.

Win 11 - Intel i7-1360p - 32 GB - Intel Iris Xe - Sound BlasterX G5
