Obviously the reverse (wav to midi) is impossible, but midi to wav should certainly be possible. After all, when you load a midi file in Windows Media Player, it plays it. This means that WMP is taking the midi control data from the .mid file, and is rendering it in software, and then sending the resulting waveform data to the soundcard in realtime. I want something similar, but not exactly the same as what WMP does. I want software that renders the midi file into a waveform, but then instead of playing it back through the soundcard, I want it to save it to a .wav file. This is what I would call a "software midi renderer". Does anybody here know if such software exists? I've tried Google searching that exact phrase (the phrase "software midi renderer"), but without any luck.

Thanks, but none of these handle the .mid files I have. The .mid files I have all came from an old Macintosh game CD and I suspect the structure of midi files meant for macs is different from the structure of those intended to play on a Windows PC. Possible differences include difference in the structure of the header, and even difference in endianness (big or little endian) for multi-byte values (I think Intel CPU uses little endian, while Mac CPU uses big endian).
I've attached 3 sample midi files to this post for you to analyze in something like a hex editor. I hope you can tell me, from analyzing the attached midi files, what software I need to convert them to .wav files. I've put them in a .zip file, because I can't attach .mid files directly to a forum post here. -
@Cornucopia You beat me too it!

By the way, I discovered that yes, the current version of Quicktime (7.7.9) does in fact load these QT midi files, but unfortunately saving/exporting them to another format (such as standard midi) is a "pro" feature, so I need to buy QT. Unfortunately Apple doesn't sell QT anymore. So the buy button in the QT player takes me to a broken link in my browser. There's literally no page there, and in fact the domain it uses (quicktimepro.apple.com) doesn't even exist anymore. So with no possibility to buy QT Pro, I'm going to need to ask if anybody here who has bought QT Pro has a license key they can share with me. I wouldn't ask for this for current software as that's piracy, but as Apple has completely discontinued selling it, I don't think it's piracy for me to ask for a license key.
Update:
I found a registration code online.

Nah there are ways to decompose music back to score so midi at some point should be possible - search for automatic music transcription which is relatively simple way, more refined decomposition is usually performed with help of some neural networks.
