5. Starting the renderer

Start (or stop) the MIDI renderer using the toolbar. You can stop the process prematurely and still have a valid .WAV file.

Press the Start button--the first button on the renderer toolbar--to begin rendering. The display changes color to show AC's progress through your MIDI file. In AC version 4.0, the LOAD indicator at the top of the window shows how many voices AC is processing at any given moment (you may be surprised by how high this number goes even with a relatively simple MIDI file). If for any reason you want to stop the renderer before it's finished, press the Stop button (the second button on the toolbar). If you were rendering to a .WAV file, AC will simply close the file at the point where you stopped.

The .WAV file you've just created will be compatible with any standard audio player or editor.

That concludes the short course on rendering a MIDI file with Audio Compositor. You'll notice that we skipped over many of the options visible in the renderer window. These are documented in Audio Compositor's built-in help file, which you can call up from anywhere in AC by pressing F1.

Audio Compositor is a professional-quality MIDI file renderer and software wavetable synthesizer. It provides a graphical environment for editing instrument samples and patches, and in most ways its organization resembles that of a traditional MIDI module.
