I think you do this with Csound -F option, which you can specify in a
.csd file in the

block:

-o out.wav -W -F file.mid

-o will specify an output filename and -W will make sure that it is a
WAV file.

I _THINK_ the instruments that you write should accept note number in p4
and velocity in p5.
You should find further information in the Csound reference manual under
MIDI/Score interoperability here:

HTH!

Best whishes,

A midi file does not produce sound, so you cannot 'just run it'.
The file contains information about what notes are to be played (at what velocity and time, etc).
Midi files are input to a sound generating device or synthesizer.

Most midi files are so called 'General midi files' and they also contain a suggestion of what instrument should be played on a certain channel, like bass, piano, drums, etc.
But you are free to choose another instrument if you like.

It is certainly possible to create a csd that generates a wave file from a (general) midi file.

Hello all,

I could not found anywhere (not in this list, not in the floss manual, not in the web at all) a .csd file that takes a .mid file and just runs it. Does anyone have / know where is a file that does it?

Second. does someone have / know where is a .csd file to render a .mid file and get a .wav file from it?

Thanks in advance,

Zoe Byrne

p.s.: a .mid file is attached to check any .csd files that do what i ask.
