Dependency on SoundFont Libraries
MIDI files don’t contain any sounds, just codes or control messages that refer to the computer’s sound samples. The MIDI standard defines the message codes for musical events, including the start of a note, its pitch, length, volume, and musical attributes such as vibrato. It also defines codes for the various button, dial, and pedal adjustments.
The audio tool, or sound card, utilizes its capabilities to create music based on those messages. This process is called "sound synthesis", and the device which produces the sound is called as "synthesizer". So, if a computer has a poor-quality MIDI library or dissimilar instruments' sounds, the MIDI composition plays back in a different way, and probably with worse quality.
Lack of support for various devices
Most media players, including all smartphones and tablets, support the MP3 format, whereas the MIDI format is not widely supported.
Lack of support for various audio tools
Unlike MIDI, MP3, and WAV files, which can be imported into nearly all audio editors and sound-improving tools. After conversion, you'll be able to polish and edit your compositions using any MP3 or WAV-compatible audio software.
Therefore, the best way to listen to and improve your MIDI compositions is to convert them to MP3 or WAV formats first. Our applications, including MIDI to MP3, help convert MIDI message files into real music, ensuring it sounds the same on all devices and systems.
