MIDI files, also known as musical instrument digital interface are useful music formats that allow your electronic musical instruments to synchronize, control and communicate with each other. Whether you want your drum machines, synthesizers, computers, sound cards or MIDI controllers to communicate and synchronize with one another, a MIDI file can be important.

However most of the music files these days are in different music format and you may need to convert or create MIDI files with them. Especially if you are a musician who needs little accompaniment, these types of files can be helpful. These type of files are also better than other formats as this is a smaller file than the other digital audio files.


Even though they do not store the actual sounds of the music, these files allow you to edit, rearrange and even compose music interactively. This allows playing or creating music easier as well.

To create MIDI files, you may need a software specialized to create such file formats. You can find a lot of these softwares online. Just make sure that you select a user friendly software as well as software that provides you the quality of output that you want. Read reviews or check out some trials to make sure.

In creating MIDI files, you may just need to launch your software and work on it in making the MIDI file. You may need to read instructions carefully before even starting. Your software may allow you to choose a song template, piano template or accompaniment template. You may also find options when it comes to rhythm.

You can also choose the time signature of the music file you want to create. Check out some other options too that will perfect your music files. Depending on the software, you may have many other options to create MIDI files.

Once you are done with the options, you can then proceed to save your file in the MIDI format. Aside from creating a file, it is also possible to convert existing WAV files to MIDI. You may have lots of music stored in huge WAV files, but you can actually convert them into MIDI files with the use of a good software.

In fact, you can also create MIDI files with your guitar. With this, you just have to plug a guitar cable into your interface and start your software. After that, you can play on your guitar while it is recorded on MIDI. However, this may require you to have that guitar-to-MIDI interface that you can buy separately as well.

But with the availability of many music files these days, you can also opt for file conversion to make it easy and convenient for you.
