Title: MIDI Converter
Post by: G.K. on March 21, 2010, 07:57:21 AM: Does anybody know of a good free program that can convert midi files into .wav or .avi or something?

Thanks.

Erm, how do I do that? [/embarrased ignorace]

Also, I see you've joined Robot Wars Wiki. Nice to have you.

If it doesn't show up, I did find this article
http://www.computeractive.co.uk/computeractive/q-and-a/2249298/mix-recording (http://www.computeractive.co.uk/computeractive/q-and-a/2249298/mix-recording)

And thanks, I'm hoping to make some at least vaguely useful contributions, even if it's just sense-making or error-correcting like most of it so far XD

Oldie but goodie.

Also the quality depends on the the software wavetable you use / the MIDI hardware you have.
