MIDI File Splitter

MIDI File Splitter is an application designed to be a simple utility to split a MIDI file up into multiple sections based on its markers. The tool can be used for splitting up the Session Drummer and Pattern Brush MIDI files included with Cakewalk's SONAR into individual patterns so that they can be dragged and dropped easily one at a time into SONAR's track view.

Splitting the files is as simple as selecting the samples you want to split in Windows Explorer and dragging them into the rectangular area at the top of the MIDI File Splitter window (alternatively you can click the "Load" button). By default, a new folder will be created to contain each marker's file, with each file being named after the marker. You can also choose for the files not to be placed in a subfolder, or to all go to a specified custom folder (this will default to your desktop).

The program comes with a detailed output window that shows you exactly what files it is creating, and reports any errors it encounters (look for messages in Red). Take note that the tool never overwrites an existing file, but you can ask it to generate a new unique filename if the file it is trying to create already exists.
