Mar 12, 2003 12:32 pm A Midi file is basically a sequence of 'notes' and synth settings, so technically, no, a WAV could not be converted to a Midi file.
HOWEVER, there is some chunks of software that could 'interpret' simple notes in a WAV and translate them into MIDI. 'Simple' meaning a single instrument in which frequencies could easily be interpreted as notes.
A full WAV with multiple instruments and vocals would be nearly impossible to interpret, as the frequencies are merged into a single stream.
Eventually, it may be possible (since the human ear/mind combination can do it), but at this time, anything that exists is purely experimental!
Maybe a detailed explanation of what you are trying to do would help us solve your problem?

I use one of their plugs to map out beats for replacing say a lame kick drum sound, or a bad bass guitar sound. You can replicate single instrument sounds this way, but now, you cannot take an entire song and have program map it all out in midi.
