Convert MIDI to 8SVX

MIDI, standing for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that allows electronic musical instruments, computers, and other related devices to communicate. MIDI files store performance data including note information, control signals, and timing details rather than audio signals. This format is widely used in music production, enabling precise editing and interoperability among various digital audio workstations and instruments. Developed in the early 1980s, MIDI revolutionized the music industry by standardizing digital communication protocols, facilitating complex musical compositions, and enhancing the efficiency of music creation and editing processes.

The 8SVX (8-Bit Sampled Voice) file format, developed by Electronic Arts as part of the Interchange File Format (IFF) standard, is used for storing 8-bit pulse-code modulation (PCM) audio on Amiga computers. Introduced in the 1980s, it was primarily used in video games, multimedia applications, and digital sound processing, enabling efficient sound playback. 8SVX files supported compression and multi-channel audio, making them ideal for memory-limited environments. Despite advancements in audio technology, 8SVX remains significant in retro computing and emulation, preserving Amiga's audio heritage.
