ptformat

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.

Current functionality:

Decrypt and parse a PT file:

make
./ptftool file.pt{s,5,f,x}

API

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	?	?	?	?	?	?
7	Yes	?	?	?	?	?	?
8	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
9	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
10	Yes	Yes	No groups	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
11	Yes	Yes	No groups	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
12	Yes	Yes	No groups	Yes	Yes	Yes	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

The binaries located in bins/ directory are specially crafted test sessions for regression testing this library. They are not programs!
