WAVmaker
WAVmaker turns MIDI files of virtually unlimited polyphony and complexity into CD-quality WAVs with perfect timing precision, using fully editable instrument patches and samples of virtually unlimited size, without the noise and distortion introduced by conventional recording: the rendering process is performed entirely in the digital domain, independently of your sound hardware. In fact, you don't even need a sound card to run WAVmaker! The WAVs produced are ready to be burnt on CD, uploaded to a website or processed further (e.g. mixed with recorded vocals). All registered WAVmaker packages include the GSound 44 General MIDI and GS instrument library: a CD-ROM with full, ready-to-use GM and GS sets consisting of 3+ MB PRG patches and 261+ MB 44.1 kHz, 16 bit WAV samples! WAVmaker Plus adds a Mellosoftron key for easy patch creation/editing and real time performance. WAVmaker Studio also includes an Acid WAV key for advanced sound editing and synthesis. Our Review: This attractive package offers software conversion of midi files to WAV format, ready to be mixed, edited or written to CD. Once you have added your selected midi files from the helpful explorer-style window you just have to hit the render button and you are presented with your lovely new WAVs. WavMaker also throws in some good midi-editing features and even gives you some WAV effects to play with after conversion (it can integrate perfectly with Polyhedric's AcidWav for more advanced editing). The lack of a built-in MIDI was little bit of a let-down however, although it can easily call an external player such as Winamp.
