WMA to MIDI Converter

WMA (Windows Media Audio)

The WMA extension is a proprietary audio file compressed using Windows Media Compression. It is a proprietary format developed by Microsoft. This file is both an audio codec and an audio format. This file format was created by Windows to compete with other popular compressed audio formats. We must pay tribute to Microsoft: using their virtually unlimited resources, they have achieved the implementation of support for their brainchild in almost all hardware and software players. Microsoft has implemented support for DRM in WMA, a digital copyright management system that allows you to sell protected songs using special services. There are many WMA sub-formats, including WMA Pro, a lossy codec that supports high-resolution audio; WMA Lossless, a lossless codec that compresses audio without losing quality; and WMA Voice, a lossy codec designed for applications that support voice playback.

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.
