Musicians might already know that a MIDI file is an audio format that was designed to store music recorded from electronic musical instruments. Compared to other audio formats, MIDI files don't store actual songs, but rather pieces of information about the notation, pitch, velocity and many other parameters (such as volume, panning or clock signals). This type of file is also used for exchanging information between connected musical instruments (synthesizers, drum machines, keyboards and so on). WAV is one of the first audio formats used on Windows-based computers (it was the default format on Windows 3.1) and it stores musical data without using any compression. This way, the stored sound has about the same quality as the original, even if it will occupy more disk space, compared to other audio formats (like MP3 or WMA).

Turning MIDI files into WAV can prove to be quite useful in various situations. For example, if you want to transfer you home-made music to your portable device (audio player or mobile phone) or you simply want to burn an audio CD, then converting your MIDI files into WAV is a simple way to do that.

I will show you how easy it is to convert MIDI files into WAV using AV MIDI Converter 1.0 (Freeware), because it is quite a popular application that is able to complete the task without any problems. It also comes with a good-looking graphical interface and gives you the possibility to convert multiple files at once (batch conversion), saving you time when dealing with a large audio collection.
