N64 Soundbank Tool

N64SoundbankTool quite simply, rips and previews N64 Soundbanks into Soundfonts. It is the merging of the N64 Midi Tool and N64 Sound Tool, and is powered by VGMTran's DLSFile support and Seq64 for the EAD games sequence extraction. It has been requested since the beginning, to rip straight from an N64 soundbank to a soundfont, and this accomplishes the job. The N64 Midi Tool and N64 Sound Tool also received a good amount of updates and restructuring, in order to better support addition of this new N64 Soundbank Tool. The tool can generate DLS soundbanks for games where midis/sequences are not identified yet, but a preview will not be available.

The tool will be a work in progress, like the other tools, so expect more soundfonts and more accurate banks over time. It is open source if you are interested in helping! Collaboration would be very helpful, considering the difficulty in converting N64 data into regular soundfonts, as well as due to the huge multitude of games. It is ini driven, so if another game is supported, if it is not a new format, it can simply be a config change. It uses all three inis, from the midi tool, sound tool, and its own.

Some formats do not have sound envelope parameters available (N64WavePtrTable), so will only have the sound and loop information available. The N64 S1 format does support all of the parameters, except for Tremolo and Vibrato. It may be possible later to add Vibrato, but Tremolo is not in DLS format. The EAD format (Zelda, Mario, Star Fox, etc), is somewhat supported, though some parameters are still unknown or imperfect. The time multiplier parameter, is only applicable to the normal sound format, and is used in some games, where due to likely reverb or game specific pitch changes, it sounds better if the values for attack, release, and decay time are multiplied by a larger value (1 microsecond per unit is default, 0.000001). The expectation is that this is a starting point, and authors can tweak parameters if need be, and name the instruments, etc, but this yields the critical splits, ADSR, pan, and attenutation.

The soundfonts are written in DLS format, though most soundbank tools can convert to SF2 if necessary. The preview uses DirectMusic, and is a totally different way of loading the data; as such, it is less accurate and does not contain as many parameters as the DLS, so should only be used for quick testing. Instead use Synthfont, for example, to play and record the music.

Some games have multiple banks, and midis only work on certain banks. Not all games are fully identified in this respect (such as Mario Party). Jet Force Gemini is unique, and has actually over 127 sounds, forming two LSB banks. Unfortunately, most soundbank + midi players do not support this command, but the soundfont does reflect this accurately.

A big thanks to Punk 7890, who assisted in a significant amount of testing, over and over again, ingame determining of parameters and identification of most of the banks. Thanks to Zoinkity for all his help over the years (specifically here in compression and locations for sound tool and midi tool).

Also of course many thanks to VGMTrans, for open sourcing their code, which allowed ease of use of DLS format, as well as Seq64, for open sourcing, so I could make a minor modification to make it command line ripping of midis (source included), and compiled to a new exe.
