mTooth
mTooth plays music written in the text format needed by
bards in the
Clan Lord
game. It can also transcribe MIDI 0 files to that format, and it can
partially convert MIDI 1 files. mTooth
is particularly useful with a program that can export to MIDI, such as
the shareware Melody Assistant
from Myriad Software.
mTooth is karmaware, by Baraboo. It runs in OS X only. Starting with version 1.2, it's a
Universal Binary that will run natively on either PPC or Intel Macs.
