[X4U] Editing midi

[DZ-Jay]

Hello:
	If you convert the MIDI file to a WAVE file and edit the sound, you 
can't convert it back.  A MIDI file is not a "sound" file, but a 
description of the music itself and how to play it, including which 
notes to play, using which instruments, at what speeds, etc.  Because 
of this you have to use a MIDI sequencer program in order to modify the 
MIDI file itself.  A quick search in Google offered this:
	http://xmidi.com/apps.html
That should give you somewhere to start.

NOTE:  I just found that page, I do not vouche for any of its contents, 
and I haven't used any of the programs offered there.
