Category:Midi Conversion Software

This category contains a list of programs, applications, tools and software that are useful for converting midi and .rmi midi files into mp3 files and wav files.

Most of them use soundfont files, but some will record a copy of a midi file using Microsoft GS/GM Wavetable Synth (Default Soundcard on modern computers).

Anvil Studio
Anvil Studio is a midi editing tool that can be used to edit midi files. However, Anvil Studio can convert .rmi midi files into .mid midi files using "Save As".

VLC Media Player
Using its inbuilt Fluidsynth to load a soundfont (.sf2) file, and the ability to convert .mid and .rmi files into .mp3 and .wav files, VLC Media Player can create non-midi audio files of Midis being played on different soundfonts. However, any glitches in the midi files (such as Passport not loading drums properly in VLC) will also save in the .mp3/.wav file, so the midi file must be fixed using a midi editing tool.

SolMiRe - MIDI to MP3 Online Converter
SolMiRe is an online midi converting tool that can be used to convert any .mid file into an .mp3 file, using a list of soundfonts. It flawlessly converts midi files that have pitch bending, but sadly, it can't convert .rmi midis.

Bear File Converter (ofoct.com)
Bear File Converter (ofoct.com) is an online conversion website that converts audio such as .mp3 and .wav into a midi file. However, it shares the same problem as Widisoft and Intelliscore Ensemble; it is infamously known to make any song into a midi file that sounds like "someone is repeatedly breaking a piano", and created these monsters:

FL Studio
A music making software that can load midi files, and save them as .mp3 and .wav files using the computer's soundcard (Microsoft GS/GM Wavetable Synth). However, any midi files with glitches that prevent instruments from playing will have those imperfections saved onto the .mp3/.wav file. Also, FL Studio does not support pitch-bending in midi files.

Garageband/Logic Pro (Mac Only)
Two different music editing apps that can be found on Apple Mac computers. They use identical soundcards, and will save midi files as audio files. However, they don't like midis that have pitch bending.

Mixcraft
Identical to Garageband and Logic Pro, this program works on Windows computers, and converts midi instruments into VSTs upon importing the midi file. It doesn't support .rmi though, and does not like midi files that pitch bend.

Also, once the Trial runs out, Mixcraft will not allow any music to be saved or converted.
