With WinGroove, users can enjoy listening to MIDI music without any additional hardware.

WinGroove will even produce sound when it is run on a 80386 computer, but a 100MHz 80486 or Pentium system or higher is highly recommended to produce high quality music.

Besides CPU speed, music quality also depends on memory speed, secondary cache size, and total personal computer performance. Additionally, the Sound card and its device driver also effect music quality.

Even if WinGroove might not produce satifactory music on your current system, please retry it whenever you install a new computer or a sound card.

WinGroove can also save the performance of a MIDI file to your hard drive as a WAVE file. If you convert a MIDI file to a WAVE file by this function, you will always enjoy full fidelity sounds (44KHz,16bits,Stereo) on even the slowest computer.

Here are some key features of "WinGroove":

  • 128 varieties of very high quality instrumental sounds conforming to GM (General MIDI) specification and 10 varieties of drum set each with several rhythmical sounds.
  • Supports some GS messages.
  • Able to play at 44kHz sample rate, 16 bits dynamic range with stereo sound with up to 32 concurrent sounds.
  • Automatically adjusts to best playing conditions and adjusts maximum number of concurrent tones depending on computer's performance. Users are able to fine tune these settings further to produce music to their taste by setting additional parameters in WinGroove Setup.
  • Supports software reverb (echoing) and compressor (sound leveling).
  • Able to upgrade instrument sounds because they are defined in a separate file.
  • Able to play to other MIDI output besides WinGroove using included High quality MIDI file player.
  • Able to play WAVE files using WinGroove's WAVE device driver by installing it as a device driver.
  • Able to convert from MIDI file to WAVE file. Able to play the highest quality sounds using the slowest computer.

    Limitations:
  • 180 days trial
  • Save as WAVE file is limited until registration.
  • Sound is produced 0.5 second after command is received. It may be difficult to produce music in real-time using WinGroove with a MIDI keyboard because of this delay.
  • Music may be played out of rhythm on some pcs depending on the combination of Windows' display and sound device drivers and ROM-BIOS.
