Convert SBK to MID

Can you convert SBK to MID?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert SBK to MID?
No - not a direct conversion.

An SBK is an instrument bank, not a song - it has no notes/sequence, so there is no 'SBK to MID' file. You play a MIDI file THROUGH an SBK in a softsynth (FluidSynth) to hear it. The db_conversions_from sbk→mid/midi entry conflates bank with sequence.
