We are often asked about various third-party software that is convenient to use together with our programs. WIDISOFT has started collecting a list of programs which are likely to be useful for users of WIDISOFT products, based on frequently asked questions.
First item in this list is Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter by Pistonsoft.

Converting MIDI to Audio (MIDI rendering) is an operation opposite to music recognition. It is often used when you need to playback MIDI composition on a device that can only play Audio (CD or Flash portable player, car audio system, etc.) or when you need to abstract the sounding from a certain MIDI realization. While rendering MIDI professionally requires large amount of work and expensive DAW software, there is a simple piece of software that can solve this task with a sufficient quality.

Direct MIDI to MP3 converter has many advantages in comparison to other software of this type and a good price.
