MID (Standard MIDI File) is a music notation standard from 1983 that encodes performance instructions — note events, velocities, timing, instrument programs, control changes — without any audio content. MIDI files are compact (10-100 KB) because they describe musical events rather than waveforms. Sound is produced only when a synthesizer interprets these instructions using instrument samples.
OGG (Ogg Vorbis) is Xiph.org's open-source lossy audio codec, free from patents and licensing fees. Converting MID to OGG renders the MIDI performance through a software synthesizer and encodes the resulting audio using the Vorbis codec in an Ogg container. This produces a patent-free, broadly compatible audio file ideal for web applications, games, and open-source projects.
MIDI requires a synthesizer and produces inconsistent results across devices. OGG Vorbis captures a specific rendering as a compact, high-quality audio file. At equivalent bitrates, Vorbis typically outperforms MP3 in listening tests, making it an excellent choice for rendered MIDI audio.
OGG is the preferred audio format in the open-source ecosystem — Linux distributions, Firefox, Chromium, Android, and game engines (Unity, Godot, Unreal) all support it natively. For MIDI-rendered game music, web audio, and open-source applications, OGG is the natural choice without patent concerns.
FFmpeg decodes the MIDI file using its built-in SMF parser and software synthesizer, rendering all 16 MIDI channels through SoundFont instrument patches to stereo PCM. The PCM stream is encoded using libvorbis with psychoacoustic modeling that removes inaudible frequencies and applies masking analysis. The Vorbis-encoded audio is wrapped in an Ogg container with proper page structure, serial numbers, and granule positions for seeking.
Vorbis at quality 6 (~192 kbps) produces excellent audio quality for synthesized MIDI content. Vorbis generally handles synthesized audio well because the clean, predictable waveforms from synthesis are easier for psychoacoustic coding to optimize than complex recorded music. The SoundFont determines the musical quality; Vorbis encoding preserves it efficiently. At quality 4-5 (~128-160 kbps), the synthesis artifacts from a mediocre SoundFont are more perceptible than any Vorbis encoding artifacts.
