ptformat reads and parses ProTools session files.
Audio and MIDI source/region/track information is extracted, as well as MIDI note events.
The idea is to make ardour open PT sessions.
Decrypt and parse a PT file:
make
./ptftool file.pt{s,5,f,x}
See ptftool.cc for example usage
| PT version | Decryption | Audio (Sources) | Audio (Regions) | Audio (Tracks) | MIDI (Chunks) | MIDI (Regions) | MIDI (Tracks) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | ? | ? | ? |
| 6 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | ? | ? | ? |
| 7 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | ? | ? | ? |
| 8 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 9 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 10 | Yes | Yes | No groups | Yes | Yes | No groups | Yes |
| 11 | Yes | Yes | No groups | Yes | Yes | No groups | Yes |
| 12 | Yes | Yes | No groups | Yes | Yes | No groups | Yes |
To test that nothing has broken since code has been changed:
make
./ptreg
To make a sox script for regenerating all audio in a PT session as dummy wavs:
make
./ptgenmissing file.pt{s,5,f,x}
To decrypt a PT session for further inspection or adding features:
make
./ptunxor file.pt{s,5,f,x} > file.unxor
- Add >= PT10 Compound MIDI/Audio region support
The binaries located in bins/ directory are specially crafted test sessions
for regression testing this library. They are not programs!
