Thanks, but I can't find any freeware there that does the job without
needing to add instrument-files (which aren't freeware, it seems). I may be
wrong or just plain tired, though.

AFAIK the only free, and easliy the best, is timidity,

It has that hem, interesting unfinished feel of much this sort of
software, but I've managed to make it work so you can, and there is now
much more help.

There are free soundfonts of sizes to cover all your needs, and it will
embarass the hell out of your cheapo soundcard.

are a couple of good pages to start.

Incidentally, if you know of any good wav to midi comnverters ( a trick I
thought was virtually impossible), I'd be very glad to hear of them,

You need the instrument files, because they actually create the sounds
for the MIDI files. But there is a freeware collection of instruments
available.

I use timidity++, there were a link from the programs homepage to such a
library that is necessary for this program. All in all a ~ 30 MB
download, but worth the price.

bye,

Thank you both. With a little patience Timidity worked perfectly. With the
right soundfont the result is excellent quality.

"Amazing Midi" seems to do the job when it comes to converting from wave to
midi:

I found others as well, but most were not freeware, and as I was looking for
midi-to-wav conversions I quickly deleted the programs and links to software
that didn't do what I wanted. Sorry. I found them all by googling for "wave
to midi convert", though.

Thank you Rolf, I tried it, I probably ommitted to mention that I wanted to
put a Cd of Beethovens 5th in the tray and print out a score!

I don't really think what I want is possible, the equivalent of turning a
cake back into a recipe; but I thought you'd found something from your ost

read also some helping hints from this page for installing the
soundfonts, else it is difficult to install correctly.

Hi Mike !

Try an other way.
Search the web for a midi-file of the "5th"
Put this midi-file into MidiNotate and print out the tunes.
Version 1.3.1 was freeware.
But of course, there are similar programs.
Have a look at a ....midi.... group or FAQ.

That's more or less what I do, Reinhard, but I don't print them, I make
CD's after kicking them around the floor quite a lot; it's for choir
members to help them learn their notes.

But usually only classics are freely available, and I can't play a piano
to make a midi file from scores, so an awful lot of music is unavailable
to me.

But a prog that could magically give me a multitrack midi from a
recording...that would be something

Is this link correct, Gunter, I went there because Tim still makes me
nervous - it workd perfectly, but I'm never quite sure how!

Anyhow, the message "timidity works all right", while true, doesn't
increase my understanding much!

Reinhard, if you know where that freeware version can still be found, I for
one would be very grateful!

My english is bad and maybe I misundertood.

But I think you are searching for a "Wave2Mid" - converter.
I knew 2 of them.
But the result isn't useful.

If you hear music do you really know how many insstruments are playing
? No SW can distinguish between many instruments.

Yes, that's right, Reinhard, and your English is not bad.

Sometimes I think that an effective wav to mid convertor might have come
along since I last looked; but I really don't believe it is possible.

But the number of things that I have thought were not possible, and they
have happened, always makes me wonder if this time it may have happened.

Looks good.

The site says that "the GUI version does NOT work with NT and possibly
XP".

Before I download the whole bunch: my OS is XP (Pro). Does anyone already
tried if it works under XP? I've listened to some samples and they realy
sounds great!

I have Win XP home and timidity++ works without any problems.

Aha. I've tried it anyway, but I must say, the DOS console is very
convenient also (I have no problems with command line).

Amazing program! Sounds excellent.

Unless something's changed radically since I tried it, it comes with onle
a few samples and very few instruments.

You have to buy their patches to do anything in real life.

Timidity is the real thing
