RMF files have an .rmf filename extension.
n Standard MIDI files: This is the raw data of MIDI music files. Their biggest drawback is that the
Web author cannot know what kind of synthesizer the user will employ to play back a MIDI file.
If he is using older Windows machines, this synthesizer may not even include actual instrument
sounds, but instead use FM synthesis to come up with very poor approximations. Standard MIDI
files have a filename extension of .mid, .midi, or .smf.
Occasionally, you may want to render a MIDI file as a digital audio file to play it in a situation where a synthesizer
is unavailable. Doing this the hard way involves playing the file through a synthesizer and recording
the output to a digital audio file. You have an easier way, however, if you have QuickTime Player Pro.
Open your QuickTime Music or import your Standard MIDI file into QuickTime Player Pro and then
choose File ??? Export and specify Music to AIFF. QuickTime Player Pro creates a digital audio file of its
???performance??? of the music using the QuickTime software synthesizer. You can also convert a QuickTime
Music track back into a Standard MIDI file. Choose Music to Standard MIDI when you export.
RMF files are designed to disallow this conversion. Always keep the original Standard MIDI file
when you create an RMF.
