Summary MIDI is incompatible with lots of software and devices and we usually need to convert MIDI to the other formats. Since MP3 is accepted by many pieces of audio editing software and mobile devices, we can convert MIDI to MP3. What is MIDI? How to convert MIDI to MP3?
MIDI, fully known as Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is the united communications protocol between electronic musical instruments, and between the instruments and computers. MIDI is a language that describes music with bytes. For example, it can record the messages and information about the instruments, the notes, the tunes and the accompaniments. That being said, a MIDI file size is small because the file has no waveform data, without limitation of audio quality.
2. Function
MIDI fits those who make music arrangement in computer. The MIDI file can be generated from the music composition software. Music made in the external sequencer can be input into the computer through the MIDI port of the sound card and be saved as .mid file. Also, the MIDI files can be used as ringtones and background music for web pages.
3. Disadvantage
However, the playback effect of a MIDI file depends on the quality of a sound card and the related applications. If a mobile device cannot be compatible well with the file, or even cannot be opened, the playback effect will be bad.
But such problem can be solved if you convert MIDI to MP3. How?
