Why convert WFP to AVI?
WFP is instrument and patch data for Turtle Beach's WaveFront wavetable synthesis chip from mid-1990s sound cards - it contains synthesizer programming, not a recorded audio signal or video. An .avi container holds video frames and an audio track; a WFP provides neither, so the conversion has no technical basis.
How to convert WFP to AVI
Awave Studio APP
Open the .wfp in Awave Studio and export to SoundFont (.sf2) to preserve patch data for modern DAWs, or export to WAV to get plain audio you can work with further.
