Re: MIDI on CDs

2003-08-07 by wlb001

I also want to do this same and have found two possible solutions.  
Perhaps these links may help.  This gentleman has one program that 
converts midi to audio wave files.  He is still working on the QRS 
format which is what my piano uses:

http://dp70.dyndns.org/mid2pianocd/

Also, QRS has a analog to midi/midi to analog converter.  It is 
rather pricey, so I have avoided it, but it appears you could use 
this device to convert a midi file to audio, which in turn, could be 
converted to a wave file and saved on an audio CD, if you use the 
Pianomation format.  I have not tested this theory, however.
