How to save MIDI to *.WAV
Current version is 1.0.6.195
Here I explain how to save *.wav file from *.mid file. Actually this is not difficult, if you know things. The problem is "You don’t know".
It was made to play MIDI files and save them to WAV files, and actually not converting, but capturing through soundcard. A very simple explanation you can find here (Flash animation file). Save and watch it!
Before you use MidiToWav, you need to adjust Windows’ mixer to save WAV file.
Here is how to adjust your Windows’ Mixer to save WAV.
Recording a Wav file from a Midi file!
It looks like this.
Drag & Drop
Drop your MIDI file into the "RED" area shows above.
This function has been added for your convenience.
To avoid clicks, you must turn off the Windows Explorer "Start Navigation" Sound as well.
Ok then. Have fun!
You are wondering..
- Can I change MIDI Patch?
- Can’t I change speed?
- Is it possible to change volume?
- Can I save a MP3 file instead of WAV? – You should read citation below…
No, No and No. You cannot. Because I don’t know how to do.
Subject MP3 file
Taken from "http://www2.arnes.si/~mmilut/"
Two companies (Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson Consumer Electronics) have been granted patents on mp3 encoding in some countries. They demand expensive royalties for every distributed mp3 encoder, no matter if it is distributed for free or as a commercial package. Their claims are in many cases questionable since the legislation in many countries (including the whole of Europe) …
.. The following countries have granted patents for the use of mp3 technology in transmission of audio, still making it legal to use software for personal uses, but probably illegal to use for netcasting:
Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey
See the last line above. Only 4 countries are free for personal use.
How about your country? Possibly it is illegal for you to download and/or use software available on the Internet.
Attention
- Don’t do anything while you are saving a WAV file. It captures everything passes through soundcard.
- You shouldn’t save copyright protected sound.
Mixer settings – How to adjust Mixer
Here I explain how to adjust Windows’ mixer to save WAV file.
YouTube version
Below is the old-time version
1. Pick up this first.
2. From the menu. Choose Properties
3. Select radio button "Recording" and check the checkbox "MIDI Synth" or "Wave (or Wave in your language)"
You can choose only one option here. So you can test it out.
4. Check checkbox as shown above
Done. Now you are able to save WAV file with MidiToWav.
If you are using Microphone with Chat (or something), you would like to check it back selection here to "Microphone", though.
