MIDI to WAV

[Ardent]

X-No-Archive: yes

Hi all

Is there a freeware to convert MIDI files to WAV form? (For Win9x)

My search in Google resulted in only payware.

This is just the opposite of what Cassandra Charis (Anna Bianca)
wanted in an earlier thread. I have a large number of old midi music
that I want to convert to wav and then put them on CD.

TIA

There is a problem with this program. The site where the link points
to, in order to get the Gravis ultra Sound patches, is gone for good. I
had a hard time looking up an alternative, and then I had to find out
how to configure that thingie.

If script claims it cannot find the directory you were pointing it to,
(especially in Windows), you will have to "escape" the directory
dividers, ie put a backslash in front of the backslash, like that
\\

The fonts I use were partly on http://freepats.opensrc.org, and the
larger portion from Eric A Welsh's eawpats. eawpats is available for
FreeBSD,

link list is on http://www.freshports.org/audio/eawpats/

but beware - the mirror sites provide HUGE directories, and you'll have
to scroll a loooooooong way down, to find it (note that in Unix,
capital and small letters are *different*, so eawpats is *below* the
eMac stuff)

The archive is about 30 MB in size, and you need something that can
unpack a tar archive (I am glad that my ALzip can handle it)

The GUS patch method is pretty well obsolete, with the current version
supporting SF2 soundfonts, of which there are many commercial and
freeware fan-assembled versions (they are also used with Creative
soundcards)

If you want a zero-configuration version of Timidity++, the
re-appearance of Tim Brechbill's wonderful pre-configured installer
version is cause to cheer.

Alternatively, this site http://timidity.s11.xrea.com/index.en.html
has configuration files to support many popular soundfonts - a bit
more detailed than the basic one that can be created by Tim's
configurator, though that can sort out the basics of "where is it,
what filename is it, do you want to replace instruments".


Forget GUS patches for Timidity++, that's the bad old way!

Oh, that is a very good converter, simple and small.

However it lacks a progress bar and you really do not know when the
conversion is going to end till the buttons change their title :-(
