WAV is an audio file format created by Microsoft that has become the standard PC audio file format for everything from system and game sounds to CD-quality audio. Such files are easily identified by the .wav extension. The only real downside to the WAV file format is the file size associated with it. The average song has a large file size of 35 to 50 megabytes, which is significantly larger than the average MP3 file.
Why choose WAV as the output format? Because it contains lossless audio samples and allows for painless editing and conversion to other formats of your choice. So as an intermediate format, it is ideal.
MIDI is the complete opposite of WAV, it is very small because it contains only musical notation, which the synthesizer turns into sound. However, this method of conversion has a big disadvantage - it works in real time. That's why we developed a high-speed synthesizer that allows conversion at speeds orders of magnitude faster than real time.
1 Download and Install MIDI To WAV Converter
You can download converter from our site: https://www.abyssmedia.com/downloads/midirenderer.exe After downloading, run the installation wizard, which will allow you to select the program folder and create an icon on the desktop. Run the program and go to the next step.
2 Select SoundFont
Soundfont contains the sounds of the instruments that the synthesizer uses to generate the audio file. The quality of sound will largely be determined by the selected soundfont. By default, converter bundled with simple General MIDI Soundfont, but you can download and use any soundfont, depending on your preferences. Remember the simple rule - the larger the soundfont size, the better the sound. The size of a good soundfont can exceed hundreds of megabytes.
3 Select Output Folder
Before starting the conversion, you need to select the folder for WAV files that will be created during the conversion. Click on "Browse" button to choose the output folder or create new folder. Please make sure that this folder is not write-protected, you have write permissions and you have enough free space on the hard drive.
4 Select WAV Format
Since the WAV file does not use compression, you specify only the basic file parameters, such as the number of channels, bit resolution, and sampling rate. By default, CD-quality is used, 44100 Hz, 16bit, Stereo.
5 Add MIDI Files
There are several ways to add MIDI files to the conversion list. You can simply drag and drop files onto the program window or use the "Add File" and "Add Folder". Be patient if you add hundreds of midi files, it may take a while.
6 Start Converting
After clicking the "Convert" button you will see a progress window showing overall progress, progress for the current file, conversion time and any errors that occurred during the conversion.
