midi and FE 8 because the order of musical instruments is totally different.
Therefore, you can not completely midi's songs by default.
It is the NIMAP patch that rearranged this instrument in order of midi instruments.

We adapted NIMAP.

We came to the screen to import midi.

First of all, please select NIMAP (NativeInstanceMap) you just added in the instrument set.

If you want to export songs such as transplanting, please click the “Export music file” button.

In FEBuilderGBA, it can output with midi and s files.
If it is for porting it is recommended to output it as s file.

please select the location (left) to transplant and the song (right) to transplant.

Finally, click on the “Port selected songs” button.
Processing starts with this.

Processing is completed.
Let's start the emulator by pressing the F5 key and listen to the song.

In the image it is hard to understand, but the transplanted song is ringing.

Songs are named only for BGMs registered in the sound room.
Other than that I can not name it.
(For sound effects etc. FEBuilderGBA is defined in config/data/sound*.txt. This is a procedure to make it easy to understand.)

To change the song title, click “Sound Room” button from “Sound Table”.

Please click the item of the song name in the sound room.

Since it will be a text screen, please enter the name you like.

Let's do it as “opening” for the time being.

Press the “Write” button to write the text.

Please start the game with F5 key and move to the sound room.
The title of the song is “opening” set earlier.

In GBA, you must set the type of player player that plays the song.
In FE, the allocation is as follows.

As a common mistake, We set the field BGM, but We keep the priority at 0x00000000 and it does not work well.
In the case of the field BGM, the priority of the song must be 0x00010001.
If you forget this, it will not work properly.

For GBA, it is possible to chord up to 16 tracks and 12 tracks.
However, in FE, restrictions are set.


In order to play the music of the track exceeding the limit, 16_tracks_12_sounds_patch needs to be applied.
This patch can be adapted from the menu “Tools” → “Patch”.

In order to play the music of the track exceeding the limit, 16_tracks_12_sounds_patch needs to be applied.

However, because I often forget, FEBuilderGBA will automatically suggest patch adaptation when there is track music that exceeds the limit.
Once suggested, we recommend adapting the patch.

It ends the description above.
There are sites distributing midi that can be used for free games, so let's use it.
