Convert CAPX to MID

Understanding CAPX and MID file formats

CAPX is a project file format used by Construct 2, a popular game development engine. It is essentially a compressed archive containing all the assets, events, and configuration files needed for a Construct 2 game project. CAPX files are not audio or MIDI files, but rather game project containers.

MID (or MIDI) files are standard music files that store musical performance data, such as notes, tempo, and instrument information. MIDI files are widely used for music production, playback, and as input for digital instruments.

Can you convert CAPX to MID?

Direct conversion from CAPX to MID is not possible because these formats serve entirely different purposes. CAPX is a game project file, while MID is a music file. However, if your CAPX project contains MIDI or music data (for example, as part of the game's assets), you can extract those MIDI files from the CAPX archive.

How to extract MIDI files from a CAPX project

1. Rename your .capx file to .zip.
2. Use a file archiver (such as 7-Zip or WinRAR) to open the ZIP archive.
3. Browse the extracted files and look for any .mid or .midi files in the assets or audio folders.
4. Copy the MIDI files to your desired location.

If your CAPX project does not contain MIDI files, you cannot convert it to MID. You would need to create MIDI files separately using music production software.

Best software for extracting and converting files

• 7-Zip (Windows, free): Easily open and extract files from CAPX/ZIP archives.
• WinRAR (Windows, paid/free trial): Another reliable archiver for extracting files.
• Audacity (Windows/Mac/Linux, free): If you have audio files (like WAV or MP3) in your CAPX, you can use Audacity to convert them to MIDI with plugins, though results may vary.
• Online MIDI Converters: If you extract audio files, use online tools like Bear Audio Tool to convert audio to MIDI.

Summary

There is no direct way to convert a CAPX file to a MID file, as they are fundamentally different. If your CAPX contains MIDI files, extract them using a file archiver. For audio-to-MIDI conversion, use dedicated software or online converters.
