MIDI Workplace
By xTau
Imagine that you are converting a MIDI file to either WAV or MP3 and listening to your favourite music at the same time. Imagine that music converting doesn''t prevent you from playing games or watching video on your computer. Impossible? No longer, if you convert your music with MIDI Workplace. Unlike its competing products, this converter with a user-friendly interface can process MIDI files without using the sound card, so no unwanted sounds will be recorded in the file even if you decide to listen to a symphony while converting. As if that wasn''t enough for the product to become a must have for every user, MIDI Workplace also allows you to change the tempo and tone of the composition. Moreover, if you need to manage parts of different instruments in a track, all you need is to put ticks near parts that you need. Excluding a piano part is now as easy as a pie. And in case you accidentally did something wrong, you can always restore the settings to default. Select quality level of the output file and its format, save it anywhere you want and feel yourself like a real sound producer. A great positive thing about MIDI Workplace is that its interface is intuitive: hardly will you need any help to start using the program. Even if you are a complete beginner and have never converted MIDI files before, it will take you no more than a couple of minutes to come to know how to do this. Sum all these advantages, and you''ll understand that easy, quick and convenient music converting is just a couple of mouse clicks away. MIDI Workshop is compatible with Windows 98 and higher, but don''t forget to make sure you have DirectX 8.1.
