It appears there aren't any possibilities to convert SMF Standard Midi Files directly to WAVE Audio Files (.smf to .wav conversion).

SMF files are basically MIDI files, and you might try to rename the suffix from SMF to MID, which would allow you to convert MID to WAV.

We are not aware of any currently available audio editors, DAW or converter capable of converting SMF to WAV.

Understanding SMF and WAV file formats

SMF, or Standard MIDI File, is a file format used to store musical data. It contains information about musical notes, timing, and instrument assignments, but does not contain actual audio data. This makes SMF files small in size and ideal for sharing musical compositions.

WAV, or Waveform Audio File Format, is a widely-used audio file format that stores sound as waveforms. It is known for its high quality and is often used in professional audio recording and editing. Unlike SMF, WAV files contain actual audio data, making them larger in size.

How to convert SMF to WAV

Converting an SMF file to a WAV file involves rendering the MIDI data into audio. This process requires a software that can interpret the MIDI instructions and produce sound accordingly.

Best software for SMF to WAV conversion

One of the best software options for converting SMF to WAV is Audacity. Audacity is a free, open-source audio editor that supports a wide range of audio formats and conversion processes.

To convert SMF to WAV using Audacity, follow these steps:

  1. Open Audacity and go to File → Import → MIDI to load your SMF file.
  2. Once the MIDI file is loaded, you may need to assign instruments to each track using a MIDI synthesizer or soundfont.
  3. After setting up the instruments, go to File → Export → Export as WAV to save the file in WAV format.

Another excellent tool is GarageBand for Mac users, which allows for easy MIDI to audio conversion with its built-in instruments and export options.
