Want to convert MIDI to MP3 using samples?

Question

I want to convert some MIDI files to MP3, but with the reality of samples, I have heard about Kontakt (with Sibelius) but, do you have any other alternatives? If it is possible, I also want that the program has the samples (not to use my owns of my keyboard).

I mean to use the midi file to show a program what notes it should play but with different samples, not the midi base.

Answer 1

I use a free program called mid2wav that I found a download.com. It plays the midi file, and records it as a wave. Does a good job. You should then be able to convert from wav to mp3, or see if there is a midi to mp3 program.
