Hi Folks,
I have been frustrated and defeated by what seems like such a trivial task. If any kind soul could help me I would be eternally grateful.
I have made a recording on my RP401 digital piano and saved it to a USB stick. The RP401 literature says its midi sound generator conforms to GM2/GS/XGlite. Obviously, I can play these back on the RP401 so I know the recording/playback is ok on the memory stick itself. However, I want to be able to use my recording on a Windows PC and specifically in Windows Movie Maker which doesn't except midi files.
I have tried using various midi players and converters but none of them produce any sounds when 'playing' the USB file (no errors either!). 'Switch/Wavepad' doesn't show any info in the midi file when I play it or after I convert it. I have downloaded a random midi file off the internet which looks 'normal' in Wavepad and also sounds fine so I know I haven't got the sound turned off or speakers disabled.
Is there someone out there who can advise me what I need to do to playback these .MID files in Windows 10 and what midi to mp3 converter I need to convert from .MID to mp3?
I just tried uploading a very small .MID file with just a few notes in it using the forum 'Upload a File' option but the file uploader says .MID is unsupported.
