Converting MID sound files to WAV format

[Gronko]

I need to convert some small sound files in the .mid format to .wav to allow
them to be embedded in a PowerPoint presentation. I created the presentation
in Office 2008 for Mac and want to create a '97-2004 .pps show for the PC
that is as much like the original as possible. The only sound files that
work in the .pps version are .wav files, so I want to convert the .mid files
which play just fine in the Mac version into .wav files for the PC version.

I use SUPER (free) to convert sounds and/or videos

Mid (or midi) is not like most audio files... since there is no audio in
them.

A midi file is an set of instructions for your sound card to play certain
instructions/notes.

So you will need a specialist convertor

The software called "super" (which is excellent) cannot convert a mid file

I had a similar problem some time ago, when I wanted to burn music. I have a big collection of midis that is constantly updated. I searched for a free program that would convert files to audio formats. I was able to find free online services, like hamienet.com/midi2mp3. But it was pretty awkward to upload every file separately and wait for its conversion.
Then I found MIDI Converter Studioon http://www.maniactools.com/soft/midi_converter/index.shtml that had good functionality. You load your files into the program, click "Convert" and that's it! Relax and drink coffee. Due to its productivity it has already paid for itself more than once.
