I have searched Cnet and ZDnet for a file conversion software program
that converts MIDI files to WAV files and have had no success.  I need
to be able to take a downloaded MIDI file and either convert it to a
WAV file or find a MIDI player that will slow the music considerably
without changing the pitch.  I have Cakewalk Home 2002 and should be
able to load a MIDI file but have been unable to do so.  Any Help?

Hi,

I remember wanting to do the same thing a few months ago. Ultimately I
discovered that there hardware I using wasn't sufficient to do
everything I wanted it to do.  Hopefully you won't have that problem.

Here are some software packages that claim to easily convert MIDI
files to WAV format:

Band-in-a-Box

MidiSyn

Audio Compositor

WAVmaker

Midi2Wav

SeerMusic

Google search term used: "midi to wav"
://www.google.com/search?q=%22midi+to+wav%22

I found the above conversion programs (and others) on the following
page:

BuildOrBuy Group Network

I hope one of these software applications does the job you want.

Best wishes,
