Is there a program which will convert midi files to waves?

Yup its called "wingroove" It kicks ass, midi's sound much better when played thru it.

The Yamaha softsynth XG software is some of the best sounding midi -> Wav packages. Course if you have a Yamaha XG soundcard than you'd only need to record the midi-out.

The unregistered version of wingroove has a 30 second limit on .wav files created with it. Are there any free programs that will let me convert .midi to .wav?

Along with the above mentioned programs, the ones i've tried are AUDIO COMPOSITOR (shareware...) and the one i would recommend TIMIDITY++ (open source, FREE, and for most platforms - WIN, MAC, LINUX...)

Audio Compositor was processor intensive and even with the highest settings (also tried the lowest to compare) i got pops and crackles in the final .wav output.

TIMIDITY++ on the otherhand works flawless for me. I can output to .wavs or in 'real-time' output to your sound card! I've experienced no pops or such with either output method, BUT installing and configuring the program can be hard for *some*.

Get the win32 GUI version: (i assume your running windows)

And eawpats file (30 Meg of samples NECESSARY to hear anything) - 22Meg download though... :

PLUS winrar to unpack the above file.

You'll need to read the documentation for the install, BUT it is easy

If you have problems leave a message and i'll help you configure it...

GOOD LUCK
