How to Convert MIDI to Wave in Samplitude

Samplitude is a versatile electronic music program that integrates with a variety of studio tools to make music of any style. The software supports the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) and also audio recording to combine many sound sources into one project. When MIDI is used to create a track layer in an overall song mix, its portion of the music can only be heard when played back within Samplitude. In order to create CDs or MP3 files of the project, the MIDI must first be converted into wave audio. Samplitude makes this conversion particularly easy.
