Convert musicxml to wav?


How I can get a wav from a musicxml file ? I tried this javascript package.

I am getting various errors, different for each file, but mostly

"Cannot read property 'score-partwise' of undefined"

. I can't seem to find anything else.

Do you know something reliable ?


Solution

  • musicXML is a format that describes musical notation (scores). (not the actual soundwaves produced while playing something, like a wave recording in a *.wav file)

    the xml can mostly be converted into MIDI notations, and given a MIDI synthesizer synthetic instruments can play the scores and this can generate the soundwaves found in a wav file.

    almost all the converters out there go through this process XML->midi->wav

    There is plenty of xml->midi converters. the quality of the wav file depends strongly on the midi->wav converter part.

    I have only played the stuff, never actually produced files, but have never had any problems, using http://www.programfabriken.com/
