Helen: Try ding = SoundNote["F", 1, "Tinklebell"]; Export["C:\ding.mid", Sound[ding], "Sound"] What tipped me off to the format was what is in the General Help File for SoundNote. "Style ... represents General MIDI instrument" Now how to get MIDI sound to a Wave format? There is an example Under Sound > EXAMPLES > Applications data = SystemDialogInput["RecordSound"] This opens a dialog box to record a sound. The Input is a Sound Driver but then how do you record the ding which you would play in Mathematica? There must be an easier way? Note that "Wav" format is primarily a Windows audio format that plays in Windows Media Player, but Windows Media Player can also play MIDI files. There are some free introductory software that can read MIDI files Like http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/ (can it export to Wave?) There are many that will convert MIDI to Wave.
