MIDI Expertise Sought

I want to take a rudimentary MIDI file and run it through some simple Windows application that will let me choose different output sounds and export the file to a WAV or MP3 with that instrument. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I might be able to run it through Finale. But there might be a better solution.

I am fabricating ringtones. I am coding the pitches and durations in the ABC language using an open source app that I downloaded from SourceForge and exporting them as MIDI. I’m sure a simple MIDI player exists out there that lets you choose output instruments or whatever.

I don’t have much expertise with MIDI and Finale, but as long as the different voices are separate, each can be assigned an instrument. But you’re limited to musical instruments.

Shoot me a file. I’ll see what happens. I’m intrigued to see what happens one way or the other.

I haven’t messed with midi since I bought a SoundBlaster for my PC. Yeah, it’s been a while.

Good luck!

if you mean you want to mess with soundfonts and play it through them... 3 programs I use for that. TMIDI is the MIDI player I use since it lets you choose which MIDI output to use

and use virtualmidisynth to let you play MIDIs with a soundfont

I have a collection of soundfonts I can upload somewhere... they’re pretty large though.

And lastly I use Audacity to record whatever TMIDI is playing. Just enable stereo mix on your machine via control panel -> sound settings and set Audacity to record stereo mix instead of microphone/line in.

What I am doing is fabricating ringtones for my android phone. Rudimentary stuff. Two or three or five or six tones, with specified lengths, coded in the ABC language, and exported as MIDI. Recording the output wasn’t a method I’d imagined. Soundfonts is a term I’ve been aware of since the early SoundBlaster audio card days and now I make a connection. I only need very simple ones, at least initially. I’ll dig into what you sent.

Nibby comes through again!

I haven’t fiddled very much with the Precision notebook yet. I’m still getting all of the Windows 10 GUI bullcrap under control. So much noisy visual vomit...
