Free online OVE to MID converter

Music notation software or a MIDI-compatible keyboard may require a MIDI file instead of an OVE score. Converting the score lets you play or edit its note events in MIDI software, but does not preserve the printed page layout.

What the OVE format is

OVE is the native score format used by Overture notation software from GenieSoft. It stores music in notation form, including notes and score structure, and is encountered when sharing or opening projects made in Overture.

What the MID format is

MID is a common filename extension for a Standard MIDI File. It stores musical events such as pitches, timing, tempo, and instrument-program instructions rather than recorded sound. MIDI files are useful for playback, arranging, and editing in sequencers, notation programs, and compatible instruments.

How to convert OVE to MID

Online on 101convert.com

1. Upload the OVE file to the converter on this page. Multiple files can be added for batch conversion; the per-file size limit is shown on the page.
2. Run the conversion to MID. It uses MuseScore.
3. Download the converted file or files.

Offline with desktop software

MuseScore is free and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the OVE file with File → Open, then choose File → Export and select MIDI as the export format. Save the result with a .mid extension.

Overture can open its native OVE scores and export MIDI. Open the score, choose File → Export, select MIDI, and save the exported file.

Quality and compatibility

MIDI carries note and playback events, not the OVE score’s page layout or full notation data. Some notation-specific markings may not transfer, and MIDI instrument assignments do not include instrument sounds; playback depends on the receiving software or device.
