Disklavier

I think the answers given (save 1), while correct, do not address Tjako's
original question.  I believe he wants to convert a MIDI file directly into
WAV format, not do an analog recording through a MIDI device.

You will need some type of "software-based" synth.  Roland has one, Yamaha
has one, and I've seen references to others from time to time.  I don't know
if these can write a WAV file directly.  The link given to Audio Compositor
looks promising, and it does write WAV files directly.

The ultimate quality of your result will depend entirely on the quality of
the samples used.  However, Audio Compositor can read many popular sound
file formats, so I suppose it could produce something really good, or
something really bad.

It would be nice if Yamaha provided something similar using some of the
acoustic modelling techniques they have pioneered. (maybe they do??).

Also, the quality of your recording equipment does not matter since
everything is kept in the digital domain.
