Convert MIDI to TEF

What is MIDI file?

The .MIDI file extension is a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) file. MIDI files contain instructions on how a specific instrument or group of instruments should produce sound. These instructions are defined using data and codes stored in the MIDI file. MIDI files are popularly used in music production due to their low size. In comparison to audio files, such as MP3s, MIDI files are considerably smaller, and require less storage space. [ ⏩ ] MIDI file extension

What is TEF file?

The TEF file extension stands for "TablEdit Tablature" which is a popular music notation and tablature editor. It was developed by Patrick Fletcher, and is part of the Tabledit range of software products. The TEF files are used for musical notation and guitar tablature in various formats, including standard notation, ABC notation, GPX, MIDI, and KAR files. The TEF files are highly compatible with the Powertab and GP5 editors, allowing musicians to open past projects created in those softwares. [ ⏩ ] TEF file extension

How to convert the file from MIDI to TEF?

To successfully convert the MIDI file to TEF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.MIDI). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case TEF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than TEF).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. MIDI to TEF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting MIDI files to TEF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension TEF, while before this step we had the MIDI file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new TEF file, or not.
