Midi to Wav

[Okatu]

Hey everyone, I'm a long time user, first time poster. And I was really anxious when I just got my new Midi Maker, and made a nice beat song to load onto newgrounds in the audio portal. But I discovered I could not enter in Midi files. So this may seem childish, or simple, but I need to know, how to I convert Midi to wav? Is there a way? Please help, thanks.

It can't be perfect, though. Midis and wavs are completely different coding. Good thing you want to convert Midis to wavs, though, and not the other way around.

Then again, another way you could do it is record it playing on your computer and save it as a wav.

Thanks both, I'm glad to see that the BBS isn't all "n00b!" and "STFU!". Thanks again.

I was also looking for such a tool. Found this one - [url=http://directfreedownloads.com/midi _tools_20/midi_to_wav_converter_26564.ht m]MIDI to WAV Converter[/url], it converts to wav, mp3, wma, ogg and supports soundfonts, which enhances music quality.

For ironic purposes only.

But, yeah. Use the Quick HTML stuff next time please.

WAV:
stores the raw audio waveform. Pretty much nothing special you need to do with it to get it to make noise, just send it to the audio card and it'll play

MIDI:
Stores (essentially) the "sheet music" for a song. When to play what note, for how long, at what volume, and which instrument. A wav file needs 44100 samples per second to make audio (at 4 bytes per sample, that's 176kb per second). A midi file is much more compressed because it's not storing sound, but instructions on how to recreate that sound.

Of course, most programs have their own "midi sound generators". A midi file can be read in by 2 different programs and recreated with completely different instruments in each one (although most try to find the closest match).

As a result, you should really have the program making the midi file export a wav or mp3, otherwise it will sound different
