Other Tools TODO: - Sorting and general touching-up. - midi2sseq & sseq2midi; I believe NitroStudio makes the former obsolete... I'm not quite sure where the latter came from, originally. - Actually, there should be more sound tools in general. - bnbl & bncl editors under legacy tools? - Perhaps list the original NitroStudio under legacy tools? - Make mirrors of downloads? - Some descriptions should be improved (Nitro Studio 2 in particular) - Also, there seems to be a Nitro Studio 2 Deluxe (forked from the original), but I'm not sure what all's different. Should it replace Nitro Studio 2 here? - ^Goes for other random ass forks of programs listed here - Add this ? - if your reading this why not add more tools This page lists tools useful for modding which don't need a dedicated page.
