How to Convert Audio to MIDI Online

Transcribe a melodic recording into editable MIDI note data in your browser.

01

Upload a Clear Recording

Choose a melody, vocal, piano, guitar, or other mostly monophonic audio recording.

02

Transcribe Notes

The audio-to-MIDI converter estimates pitch, note timing, duration, and velocity.

03

Preview and Download MIDI

Review the piano roll and note statistics, audition the result, and download a .mid file.

Why Use This Audio to MIDI Converter

Capture musical ideas as editable notes for a DAW, notation tool, or arrangement.

Editable Note Output

Move beyond a flattened audio file with MIDI pitches, timing, length, and velocity.

Visual Piano Roll

Inspect detected notes and pitch range before downloading the MIDI transcription.

Fast Idea Capture

Turn a hummed or played melody into a reusable starting point without manual note entry.

Get a Cleaner Audio-to-MIDI Transcription

Audio-to-MIDI estimates note events; it does not recover the original performance data. Clear individual pitches, careful threshold settings, and a final edit in a DAW or notation app determine whether the transcription is useful.

01

Start with a melody or clear instrument

Solo piano, guitar, vocal, flute, and lead lines give the pitch model clearer note onsets than a dense mastered mix. The browser mixes the input to mono, resamples it for the model, and analyzes at most the first 120 seconds, so choose the section you actually need.

02

Edit the MIDI after export

Treat the format-0 MIDI file as an editable transcription draft. Raise minimum confidence to remove uncertain detections, increase minimum note length to suppress short blips, then correct timing, false notes, pitch bends, and instrumentation after import.

Frequently asked questions

How does audio to MIDI conversion work?
It runs Spotify’s Basic Pitch, a neural network (TensorFlow.js) model, entirely in your browser. The model listens for note onsets and pitches, then produces MIDI note events with timing, pitch, and velocity. No audio is ever uploaded.
Can I convert a full song or polyphonic audio to MIDI?
Monophonic and simple polyphonic content - solo piano, guitar, vocals, flute, or a single lead line - transcribes most accurately. Dense mixes, heavy distortion, and drums produce noisier results because pitch is ambiguous.
Why does browser audio-to-MIDI conversion take time?
The local model assets load once, then inference runs on your device. Processing time depends on the recording length and available CPU, so older phones and dense polyphonic audio can take longer. Only the first 120 seconds are analyzed to keep the browser workload bounded.
How do confidence and minimum note length change the MIDI?
Minimum confidence filters out weak or uncertain note detections - raise it to keep only strong notes. Minimum note length removes very short blips. Both re-derive instantly from the cached analysis without re-running the model.
Can I open the .mid file in my DAW?
Yes. The download is a Standard MIDI File (format 0) with tempo and note on/off events. Import it into Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, GarageBand, MuseScore, or any DAW to edit, re-instrument, or notate.
Why is a full mixed song harder to convert to MIDI?
Multiple instruments, drums, effects, and overlapping notes make individual pitches ambiguous. Solo melodies, piano lines, guitar parts, and vocals usually produce cleaner MIDI.
