Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion process secure?
Yes, we prioritize data security. Your files are processed securely and are not stored on our servers after conversion. We do not access or retain your data.
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
The maximum file size for upload is currently limited to 50MB. We are working to increase this limit in the future.
What if the conversion fails?
If the conversion fails, please ensure that your FITS file is valid and not corrupted. You can also try uploading the file again. If the issue persists, please contact our support team.
Are there any limitations to the converted MPC file?
The resulting MPC file will represent the data from your FITS file as musical parameters. The specific interpretation and sound will depend on the software you use to open and play the MPC file.
Understanding FITS and MPC Formats
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a standard digital format used to store astronomical data, including images, spectra, and tables. It's widely adopted by observatories and researchers due to its ability to handle large datasets and metadata. MPC (MIDI Program Change) is a format commonly used in music production and MIDI sequencing. While seemingly unrelated, converting FITS data to MPC can be useful in specific applications where astronomical data is used for sonification or artistic representations. This conversion process essentially translates the numerical data within the FITS file into a format that can be interpreted as musical instructions.
