I made a web-based tool for extracting and converting MIDI file data to be played in PICO-8. It's nicely interactive and includes a PICO-8 console built into the page so that you can audition the results before you copy the SFX data. Give Denote a try and let me know what you think.

works good for less complex songs, but with more tracks, it seems to loose any sense of priority, you cant even guess this one:
edit: does not play anything fsr, it should be fine though

Highly polyphonic music can be a problem. If a track has simultaneous notes in it, denote splits it into separate tracks. If it results in more than 4 tracks then you have a situation where you are going to have missing notes because you must choose from a subset of tracks and you don't have a lot of control over which notes wound up in which tracks. There may be a better way to sort the notes for track assignment, but I haven't figured that out yet.
