MIDI is not audio. A MIDI file is a set of instructions that tell a synthesizer what notes to play, which sounds to use, when to play them and how loud.

AutoHotkeys is free and open source.
I've not come across any audio editors (free or paid) that can batch process files in that way. Perhaps if you find one that can do this (and works) you could let us know.
