A Morse code TEXT-to-MIDI converter that creates a Morse code standard MIDI file from ASCII text.
Description
CW Midi for Windows is a Windows version of CW MIDI (for DOS), the World’s first TEXT-to-MIDI conversion software!
Create Morse code files from ASCII text that play on your sound card.
CW Midi for Windows creates a Morse code (CW) Standard MIDI File (SMF) from ASCII text.
Create MIDI files that send Morse code, by simply typing your messages, or importing ASCII text files.
You can create a CW MIDI file without knowing anything about Morse code or MIDI!
You can save your CW MIDI file as a General MIDI file (*.MID) or as a RIFF MIDI (RMID) file (*.RMI).
This simple computer program is a terrific utility for the Radio Amateur, a "must have" for any Amateur Radio operator.
Use it to send "E-Morse" messages, by E-mailing *.MID or *.RMI files to your "Ham" friends, create code-practice files, or create a CW station ID’er.
You can use this software to create Morse code practice files that can be pasted directly into Microsoft Word and other Microsoft Windows applications, as well as E-mailed over the Internet, and played directly from Web sites on the World Wide Web.
MIDI files provide an extremely efficient storage method for digital audio information.
By using the MIDI (*.MID) format, instead of Wave (*.WAV), file size is greatly reduced for the same Morse code.
