Free MIDI to WAV Converter for DAWs, Stems and Editing
ToMIDI converts MIDI to WAV for free, in your browser: it plays every track of your .mid on instrument samples and writes lossless audio that any DAW or editor opens. Choose 16 or 24-bit at 44.1 or 48 kHz to match your project, pick an instrument for each track, export stems (one file per track) in one click, and keep the reverb tail intact. No upload and no sign-up.

Up to 20 minutes of audio and 200,000 notes per file. Sounds come from a General MIDI sample bank, so a file will not sound like the synths in your DAW. Long WAV files need memory: about 10 MB per stereo minute at 44.1 kHz, 16-bit.

What MIDI to WAV Conversion Gives You
A MIDI file tells instruments what to play; it has no sound of its own. Rendering MIDI to WAV performs those notes with instrument samples and saves the result as uncompressed PCM audio, the format every DAW, audio editor and video editor opens as it is. A WAV keeps every sample the renderer produced, so you can cut, stretch, EQ and export it again as often as you like, without the loss that piles up when an MP3 is edited and saved over and over. Render to WAV when you want audio on a timeline instead of a MIDI part that depends on the plugins installed, when you hand parts to a mixing engineer, or when a tool only accepts audio.
Render a MIDI FileBefore You Convert MIDI to WAV: What Shapes the Sound
A WAV is a recording of one performance of your MIDI, and it cannot be changed note by note afterwards. Get these right first and it will sit in a mix without fixes later:
- The instrument on each track. The file asks for General MIDI programs. Check each one and swap any that landed on the wrong sound.
- Drums on channel 10. General MIDI reserves channel 10 for percussion, which ToMIDI plays on a drum kit. A drum part on any other channel comes out as pitched notes.
- Reverb, baked in or not. Reverb inside a WAV cannot be taken out. Render dry if you will mix it yourself; add reverb here for a finished bounce.
- The tail. A render that stops at the last note cuts off held chords and reverb. The default 2 second tail lets most sounds die away; give long reverbs up to 10.
- Level. Normalize is on by default and sets the loudest peak of the mix to -1 dB. Stems exported with the mix get exactly the same gain, so their balance holds and they add back up to the mix.
- Sample rate. Render at your project rate, 44.1 or 48 kHz, so the DAW does not have to convert the file on import.
Why Render MIDI to WAV With ToMIDI
A MIDI to WAV converter that treats the WAV as a working file for your session, not just a download.
Lossless output
Every MIDI to WAV render is uncompressed PCM with nothing thrown away, ready to edit and export again without stacking compression artifacts.
Matches your project
16 or 24-bit at 44.1 or 48 kHz, chosen before you render, so your DAW imports the file without resampling it.
Stems from one file
Set Export to Mix + stems and each MIDI file also gives one WAV per track, with the same start, length and level as the mix.
Nothing uploaded
The MIDI is read, played and written to WAV inside your browser tab. Unreleased projects stay on your machine.
Any instrument per track
Keep the General MIDI sound each track asks for or override it, and hear the whole mix before you commit.
Free, file after file
No account and no watermark. Drop a batch of .mid files and download each WAV as it finishes, or all of them in one ZIP.
How to Convert MIDI to WAV for Your DAW
Four steps from a .mid file to audio on your timeline.
Drag one or more MIDI files onto the converter at the top of this page, or try a demo MIDI: a pop band, a jazz trio or a solo piano piece.
Keep each track's instrument or choose another, hear one note of it, and mute (M) any part you will play live; muted tracks stay out of the mix and the stems.
Pick 16 or 24-bit and 44.1 or 48 kHz to match your session, Mix or Mix + stems, then decide on tempo, transpose, reverb, normalize and the tail. Leave Start at the first note off so the WAV lines up with the MIDI.
Convert, download the WAV and drag it onto an audio track in your DAW. Set the project to the file's tempo so bars and beats line up with it.
Step 1 · Drop the .mid
A MIDI to WAV Converter Built for Editing
What you control in every MIDI to WAV render, from the .mid you drop to the WAV you download.
16 or 24-bit, 44.1 or 48 kHz
16-bit at 44.1 kHz is the CD standard and the safe choice for samplers and older tools. 24-bit gives far more dynamic range for mixing, and 48 kHz is the norm for video. 16-bit files are dithered, so quiet reverb tails fade out smoothly instead of turning grainy. A stereo minute takes about 10 MB at 16-bit and 44.1 kHz, and about 16.5 MB at 24-bit and 48 kHz.
Pick a FormatStems in one click
Set Export to Mix + stems and every MIDI file gives the full mix plus one WAV per audible track, named after its channel and track, such as Brush Blues - 10 Drums (brushes).wav. Each stem has the same start, length and level as the mix, so the stems line up on your timeline and add back up to it; muted tracks are skipped. A Stems button saves one file's stems as a ZIP.
Make StemsDry, or with a room around it
Leave reverb off to keep the WAV dry for your own effects, or add it for a finished bounce. The tail keeps rendering for 2 seconds after the last note, or up to 10, so a held chord or a reverb decay fades away on its own instead of being chopped off.
Set Reverb and TailStraight onto your DAW timeline
Drag the WAV into FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Reaper or GarageBand and it plays at once; Audacity and video editors open it too. Want to change a few notes first? Fix them in the MIDI editor and render again.

Brush Blues, the jazz demo in the converter above: upright bass, piano, vibraphone and a brush kit on channel 10 at 132 BPM, rendered with the default settings: 24-bit, 44.1 kHz, reverb 30%, a 2 second tail.
What you are looking at
At the top, each track of the .mid; underneath, the left and right channels decoded from the real MIDI to WAV render: 47 seconds and about 12 MB, with its loudest peak at -1 dB from Normalize level. Load the demo above to hear it, then switch Export to Mix + stems for one WAV per track. Curious what a MIDI file actually holds? Read what a MIDI file is.
MIDI to WAV or MIDI to MP3: Which Output Do You Need?
Same notes, same instruments, different jobs. Choose by where the file goes next.
WAV for editing and mixing
Lossless, so cuts, fades and effects never stack compression artifacts. The right choice for DAWs, audio editors and stems.
MP3 for listening and sharing
At 128 kbps an MP3 is about a tenth the size of a 16-bit WAV, and it plays everywhere. Use MIDI to MP3 for files you send or post.
24-bit for headroom
16-bit audio has 65,536 possible levels per sample; 24-bit has over 16.7 million. That room matters when the audio will be processed further.
Keep the MIDI as well
A WAV locks in the notes and the sound together. Keep the .mid so you can change a note or an instrument and render again.

Mixing engineers
Get a song as MIDI and convert MIDI to WAV with Mix + stems: one file per part at the session's sample rate, ready to balance.
Audio editors
Open the WAV in Audacity or any editor to cut, loop, layer or add effects, with no MP3 loss each time you save.
Video and game creators
Video editors and game engines take WAV directly. Render a theme at 48 kHz for a video timeline.
Sampler and groovebox users
Load a 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV into a hardware sampler that cannot read MIDI files, then chop and play it.
Teachers and students
Hand out WAV parts that import cleanly into GarageBand or any school DAW, at the tempo and key of the lesson.
MIDI to WAV FAQ
What people ask before they render a MIDI file to WAV.
How do I convert MIDI to WAV?
Drop the .mid on the converter at the top of this page, check the instrument on each track, choose 16 or 24-bit and 44.1 or 48 kHz, and click convert. The WAV downloads to your computer; nothing is uploaded.
Is this MIDI to WAV converter free?
Yes: no account and no watermark, and every format and every file is free.
Should I choose 16-bit or 24-bit?
Choose 24-bit if the WAV is going into a mix or will be processed further; it leaves more room before noise or clipping. Choose 16-bit for samplers, CD projects or older software, or when file size matters.
Should I use 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz?
Use whatever your DAW project runs at. 44.1 kHz is the music and CD standard; 48 kHz is standard for video. Matching the project saves your DAW from converting the file.
Can I export each track as its own WAV?
Yes, in one click: set Export to Mix + stems and every MIDI file gives the mix plus one WAV per track, all starting at the same point with the mix's level, so they line up and add back up to it. Stems follow MIDI channels, so two tracks that share one channel come out as one stem.
Will the WAV line up with my MIDI in the DAW?
Yes. With Start at the first note left off (the default), the render starts at the file's time zero, so at 100% tempo the WAV and the MIDI line up when both start at the same point and your project runs at the file's tempo. Change the tempo in the converter and the WAV no longer follows the MIDI beat for beat, so keep it at 100% when the two must line up.
Why does my MIDI to WAV conversion sound different from my DAW?
Because a MIDI file carries no sound. Your DAW plays it through whatever plugins are on each track, while this converter plays it on recorded samples from GeneralUser GS by S. Christian Collins, a General MIDI bank. Pick the closest instrument per track here, or render inside the DAW if you need its exact sounds.
Can I convert MIDI to WAV inside my DAW instead?
Yes. Put the MIDI on an instrument track, load a plugin, then use the export or bounce command and choose WAV. That gives you your own sounds; the converter here is quicker when you have no DAW at hand, need many files done, or work on a machine without your plugins.
Can MuseScore convert MIDI to WAV?
Yes. MuseScore Studio opens a MIDI file as a score and File > Export saves WAV, using its built-in or added sounds. It is handy if you also want the notation, and our MIDI to sheet music tool does that part in the browser.
Why are the drums coming out as notes?
General MIDI puts drums on channel 10, and ToMIDI plays that channel on a drum kit. If the drums still sound pitched, the file has them on another channel; move them to channel 10 in your DAW or the MIDI editor and render again.
Is my MIDI file uploaded?
No. The MIDI to WAV conversion runs entirely in your browser, from reading the file to writing the WAV, so your music never leaves your device. The first time, the page downloads a few MB of instrument sounds from our site, once.
Is it a MIDI to WAV file converter for many files at once?
Yes, up to 50 files of 10 MB each, and each can run to 20 minutes of audio. They render one after another with their own progress bars, and you can download each WAV or all of them in one ZIP.
Can I turn a WAV back into MIDI?
Yes, though that is transcription, not rendering. Our WAV to MIDI converter listens to a recording and writes down the notes. It works best on a single instrument.
Where can I get a MIDI file to render?
Export one from your DAW or notation app, or create one from a recording with our audio to MIDI converter. Many classical pieces are also shared as public domain MIDI files.
