+# IT2MIDI
+
+_#Rewrite it in Rust_
+
+Rust rewrite the original it2midi.cpp I wrote in 2017, with properly configuratble
+conversion options (rather than editing the source code everytime).
+
+Unrelated to Un4seen's 2MIDI. IT2MIDI is built from the ground up with a very different
+goal in mind. IT2MIDI does not intend to become a 2MIDI replacement.
+
+Architecturally, this rewrite still closely resemble the original C++ version (hence
+a lot of passing references around). This is not satisfactory and will be redesigned
+in the future. However currently I'm focusing on getting a working converter.
+
+Since this is my very first Rust project, I try to implement as much by myself as possible.
+As usual this went too far. For this reason IT2MIDI currently has no external dependencies.
+
+Original C++ version here: https://cgit.chrisoft.org/oddities.git/tree/music/it2midi.cpp
