Ibby! I convert MIDI to WAV by playing the MIDI file and recording the
output with Sound Forge. MIDI and WAV are totally unrelated file types.
Please find following two posts I wrote to this list in the past.
there are programs to convert MP3 and WAV files to MIDI but as I
understand it they are very inaccurate. MIDI is nothing like MP3 or WAV.
The formats are totally alien to each other. MP3 and WAV files are audio
files but MIDI files are series of instructions telling a sound module of
some sort what instrument to play, what notes to play, for how long, how
loud etc. Converting an MP3 or WAV file to MIDI would be analogous to
unbaking a cake and putting all the ingredients back into their storage
bins. You'd even have to uncook the eggs and put them back into their
shells.
Sequencing is the process of recording, editing and playing back music
instructions (Musical Instrument Digital Interface, MIDI) that tell a MIDI
instrument what to play. MIDI instructions include such information as what
note to play, how hard to play it, how long to play it, when to play it etc.
In music production it's like the difference between having a cake and
baking a cake. When you play music live you have a cake. When you play
music through MIDI you are creating a cake in real time from the recipe.
You can always change the recipe and bake another cake but when the cake is
done you can't undo it and change it.
MIDI information can be entered through a computer keyboard, voice
commands, through a MIDI musical instrument in real or step time or through
a scanner scanning a musical score.
Through sequencing one can construct an entire musical score by
themselves. Many use sequencing as a method of providing virtual musicians
in a band. Many people now perform in clubs and restaurants with a
sequencer as their only other band member. They might play a guitar and
sing but what you hear is guitar, voice, bass, piano, horns etc.
To learn everything you'd ever want to know about sequencing, join the
MIDI-MAG list where blind musicians discuss the accessibility of music and
audio production equipment and software. To join send an email to
