MidiMeow, a midi to wav/ogg/mp3 converter

Help file

Technical support: see at the bottom of the page for our mail

I listened to the users and midimeow 1.03 is as easy as possible.

For all users:

Watch the screenshot:

- click on "in" and select your midi file

- click on "out" and give a name without the extension (don't use temp.wav as output because it is used by the program, and midmeow may destroy file named like this if they are in the same directory as the program)

- click on "convert one" and wait until it is written that it is ok.

Since the conversion stops at the middle of the file, you'll get a half sized output.

THAT'S ALL !

Off course you can change other options, but basically this is the core of the conversion

Remember that it is sometimes needed to change your mixer's settings to get a good sound (you could get blank files for example)

Only For Registred users:

- Registration

put key.ini in the same directory as Midimeow, OR go to the registration panel, and enter your name (first line) and the serial (second line).

-How to use the list of conversion

- select your sound settings and your ouput settings before you add a file to the list.
- to add files you can drag and drop them over midimeow (main pannel or list pannel) like this:

midi to wav drag and drop

Very Important: You can select several files in the same time, if you press on CTRL while you click, or you can select a whole list of files if you select the first file of a list then if you press on SHIFT then select the last file of the list.

It is very important to be able to select several files in the same time, because if you don't know how to do, then my bulk conversion is useless. Also i'm personnally a much more advanced user that the average surfer, and i forget from time to time that some users ignore from time to time tips that are needed to work powerfully.

Also if you decide to drag and drop several files, create a directory for your work.

If your file is named: file.midi the output will be file.wav for a wav file, file.mp3 for an mp3 and file.ogg using this way.

- a second option to create a list of files is to click on "in" and choose your midi file and click on "out" and give a name without the extension then click on "Add to list".

If you click on "List" you should be able to see the file listing:

Just click on "convert list" to start conversion.

-How to load and save your mixer's settings ?

very easy

1- Change your mixer's settings as you wish (you can use to mini mixer or click on "display volume control" and change as you want.
2- click on "save" to save and the name that you have written in the box.
3- click on "load" to load the presets that you have selected from the scroll box.

The settings are saved in "set" files.
Basically it is just a text files with your current mixer values.

Known bugs

- I have no sound on my files: click here

- My Mp3 has a size of 0ko or my ogg has a size of 4Ko ?

i have fixed most bugs related to format compression but sometimes it can still happen, it is not possible to fix it for all files, and it is related to the third party library i'm using for conversion. Select an other sample rate or an other bitrate for your files.

it can happen if you choose 22050 Khz and 128 Kbps for mp3 with midi of a given length.

- the size of my files is not null, but i have not sound

- You should check that you are using correct mixer settings. If you ear your Tv on your file, just mute your microphone. If the sound is too low, you can increase your midi input (better) or increase the record volume

- Metallic sound:

- If you get a metallic sound, decrease your midi input or decrease your record output on your sound card.

- Play time is much greater has the correct play time of the original midi file:
Open the file with windows media player, if you have the same size as the converted size, it means that there is a problem with your midi file. Stop the conversion manually.

- kar files: rename them to .mid the support of these files will be handled in version 1.03.

-Bad sound:

Play with the play settings and the record settings: play setting too high: noise. Record setting too high: metallic sound. Too low, no sound or only the main sounds (but good to remove noise).
