I made a free Windows tool that converts MIDI files to hUGETracker .uge format, would love feedback!
Hey! I've been working on a GB/GBC homebrew game (variant Sudoku with German Whispers, Killer cages, Thermometers, etc.) and needed to get some MIDI files into hUGETracker. Didn't want to spend $10 on an app for a small side project, so I just built one.
MIDI to .uge Converter is a free, standalone Windows app (no Python needed) that converts standard .mid files into .uge files ready to open in hUGETracker.
Features:
- Pitch-based automatic voice splitting across all 4 GB channels
- Per-channel octave shift controls via a clean GUI
- Configurable BPM + song metadata (title, artist, comment)
- Auto-names output based on input filename
- ~14MB standalone .exe, Windows 10+ (Sorry, no Mac version yet)

I'd genuinely love feedback of any kind, bugs you hit, features you wish existed, or just whether this fills a gap for you. If you've been doing the MIDI to GB music pipeline differently, I'm also curious what your workflow looks like.
As a note, my goal was to create something light weight, no frills, I didn't need expanded functionality, something basic enough that just worked.
Thanks!
