Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Audio to MIDI Converter?

An Audio to MIDI Converter is a tool that listens to an audio signal and transcribes the musical notes into MIDI data. MIDI files can be opened in digital audio workstations, notation software, and synthesizers for editing and playback.

Is this converter really free?

Yes. The tool is completely free to use with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or usage limits.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The entire converter runs inside your web browser. Just open the page, upload an audio file or record your microphone, and convert instantly.

No. All processing happens locally on your device. Your files and recordings never leave your browser.

What audio formats are supported?

Any format supported by your browser's audio decoder, including MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC, and M4A.

How accurate is the transcription?

The converter uses a modern neural network that generalizes across instruments and captures polyphonic notes. It works best on clear, single-instrument sources, but also handles mixed signals better than many traditional algorithms.

Can I use my microphone instead of uploading a file?

Absolutely. You can record directly from your microphone and convert the recording to MIDI without needing an audio file.

What is polyphonic transcription?

Polyphonic transcription means the tool can detect multiple notes playing at the same time, such as chords on a piano or overlapping guitar strings.

Does the output include pitch bends?

Yes. The model captures pitch variations and writes them into the MIDI file as pitch-bend events, helping preserve the expressive character of the original performance.

Can I use the generated MIDI in my DAW?

Yes. The downloaded MIDI file is compatible with all major DAWs and notation software, including Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, and GarageBand.
