Is there a way to reverse the notes on a MIDI so that a song plays backwards? I don't recall seeing any options in Anvil Studio that let you do so...

Well, whoever can figure it out, all the more power to ya. It's pretty darn interesting. That there is a reversed (I hope so!) copy of the Ocarina of Time Lost Woods theme. I have no idea where I found it. Been with me over a decade now.

Someone's also reversed the Gerudo Desert Theme from Ocarina... and I think it sounds pretty nifty-swifty! So, there's gotta be a way... at least with MP3s, there's a way. Midis, I dunno, except for manually rearranging the notes. (you could probably Copy/Paste for a few hours and get an alright result. ^^' lol )

I haven't been able to find a free one, but Midimirror is a good choice. It can even "vertically invert" a song, making low notes high and high notes low, leading to interesting music.

Hm...it seems MIDI Mirror has a free trial...I'll give that a shot, but as a temporary solution. I was trying to reverse the original theme for the 2-Week Contest...hehe.

ST, that MIDI was very...interesting, at the least. Thanks!

Wait a minute... *opens AnvilStudio*

You actually can reverse music in Anvil Studio! (I've updated it a little while ago, so if you haven't, the reverse option might not be there, but it probably is)
You just select the entire song (Edit->Select All), then Right Click the selection (or press Edit) and go to Reverse Selection or Invert Selection. Then, just hit ok (unless you did Invert, in which case you might want to check the 'diatonic' box before you hit ok).

I feel accomplished! I downloaded MusicMirror, but it doesn't let you save anything unless you buy it. Anvil Studio wins again!

Hope that helps!

WTF

Oh sheet, it works nicely, and I like the end results. Thanks a million!

[AgentLym]

Yep! Just remember to reverse all the tracks, since Selecting All only selects the notes from the track you're currently using. And, no prob! ^^

Thanks! I was actually just about to buy MusicMirror, but Anvil Studio has the exact same effect, so I'm happy. I've had the trial version of MusicMirror for quite a while... I would have suggested it earlier, but it's not free, and I didn't think anyone would want to use it, seeing as you can't save.

Oh well, Anvil wins again

EDIT:

Oh, and we have Woods Lost! If you wanna use this, feel free I'm lucky enough to have people making music for me, so I don't need it :3
