How do I convert piano audio to MIDI?

Split the song so the piano is its own stem, press Convert to MIDI under it and choose the piano specialist (Creator and up). The general engine converts piano on every plan.

How do I turn a sung melody into MIDI?

Isolate the vocal, press Convert to MIDI under the vocals stem and choose the vocal specialist (Creator and up). The MIDI carries the notes, not the lyrics.

What do the specialists cost?

990 credits per minute of the stem you convert, against 300 for the general engine — on top of the split. A 4-minute song is 2,640 credits to split.

Which instruments have a specialist?

Piano and vocals. Bass and Guitar (experimental) use the general engine. Drums aren't transcribed yet — coming later.

MIDI is a starting point — expect to tidy timing and note lengths. Drums aren't transcribed yet. Dynamics are approximate. Works best on clean recordings.

Open Stem Splitter

The general engine transcribes every pitched stem the tool offers. Piano and sung melody are hard in their own ways — piano plays many notes at once and lets them ring, a voice slides between pitches — so each has a specialist engine built for it alone.

Which engine to choose

Engine: Use it for
General — every plan, 300 credits/min: bass, vocals, piano and guitar; the quickest first pass
Piano specialist — Creator+, 990 credits/min: Chords, voicings and sustained piano parts
Vocal specialist — Creator+, 990 credits/min: A lead melody line from the vocals stem

Both run on a stem from a split. Specialists are Creator+.

Tip

Harmonies in the same vocal stem show up as stray notes around the melody. The cleaner the stem, the cleaner the MIDI — start from the best copy of the song you have.
