midi file convert

[rajS]

Can some please advise about converting midi format 1 to midi format 0.
I recently bought voyetra midi sequencing software that does mention in the 'save as' feature about the two formats. The options for 'save as' in the voyetra software include MIDI and MIDI riff.
Thanks

There are 3 different "Types" (sometimes called "Formats") of MIDI files. Type 0 files contain only one track, and all of the MIDI messages (ie, the entire performance) is placed in that one track, even if it represents many musical parts upon different MIDI channels. Type 1 files separate each musical part upon its own track. Both Type 0 and 1 store one "song", "pattern", or musical performance.

Now that was simple and clarifying!
