Once you have the file imported, go to File > Export as MIDI...

From there, select your location for saving the MIDI file. Now this is where it gets interesting. When you get to the following:

...just press OK.


You might notice that when it exports, it sounds weird.

This is where FL Studio will come in.



Part 2: Fixing it up with FL Studio

Open FL Studio.


Import your MIDI file.

When it gets to the following screen:

...select MIDI Out with Fruity LSD.

Now just customize the MIDI to your liking.

Go onto the piano roll, right click the target channel's name, and you'll see this:

Note: Channel 10 is reserved for drums, so if a channel as a drum pattern, set that to channel 10.

Now if the notes seem off, then use the transpose feature.


Part 3: Exporting

Once you're satisfied, go to File > Export > MIDI file or just press Ctrl+Shift+M

Select your path and export your MIDI.

And there we go, good job on converting a MIDI successfully!
