I believe standard MIDI files don't contain the instruments or wave files 
to play music.  They contain the notes.  They can contain information on 
which instruments to use where.  I've never seen Sound Studio but maybe 
it assigns instruments on it own.  I hope someone comes along to correct 
any mistakes I have made.

And now for something NOT completely different...  Have you used Music 
Composer.  It can convert standard MIDI files to synthLAB or Music 
Composer format.  It also has many editing features.  It can be found at 
my FTP site mentioned in the sig below.  You can also get there through 
my WWW page.
