MIDI to WAV Converter

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

MIDI was created in 1982 by leading manufacturers of electronic musical instruments - Yamaha, Roland, Korg, E-mu, and others. Manufacturers wanted an easy way to make their products compatible with devices from other brands. Unlike regular audio files such as MP3 or WAV, MIDI files do not contain actual audio data and are therefore much smaller. The MIDI interface transmits information about the actions performed on the musical device - for example, pressing a key. This contains information about two parameters: the number of the pressed key and the force of impact on it. Before the advent of standard MIDI files, an arrangement prepared in one sequencer could not be loaded into another due to format incompatibilities. Another plus of MIDI is that polyphony was originally laid in this standard. That is, you could easily use multiple tools.

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format)

The WAV format is designed to work with a digitized audio stream, contains musical compositions, voice recordings and various audio effects. It is the best audio format for processing and storing uncompressed audio data that is similar in quality to CDs. One minute of sound in it weighs about 10 MB. WAV occupies a significant amount of memory space, much more than other popular formats, so very few people use this format to store their own audio library on a computer. The Wave format is needed for the release of a disc, LP, download for sale on sites, and must be with the parameters of 16 bit 44.1 KHz. It is also used in audio editing programs to save time on compressing and decompressing data. The WAV format is only a container file, and the audio content is compressed using a wide variety of codecs.
