Recently I've come across some old .it (Impulse Tracker) files. I was able to play them with VLC media player, but I was wondering if I could convert them to MIDI somehow.

Found this - not tested it though.
http://www.modplug.com modplug can open it/mod/xm and save it to midi.
I'v just converted this MOD (from Morten "Clyde" Christiansen) to MIDI in Ubuntu 18.04
- Download OpenMPT Windows program. I tried with
openmpt123
without luck. Install wine:
sudo apt install wine-stable
Install OpenMPT. On menu: File > Export as MIDI
Install appropriate packages to be able to play MIDI files
sudo apt install fluid-soundfont-gm fluid-soundfont-gs
Open the midi file. You can also try with the old classic CLI MIDI player: timidity
xdg-open prelude.mid
Audacity also open MIDI files.
