Audio to midi

heronviewer · 27. Sep 2011, 04:44 PM

I've been looking for a programme to convert mp3s/wavs to midi.
There's a 3 year old thread about amazingmidi - is that still the only option ?

Thanks.

Yes, according to this thread, which I think you are talking about, converting wav/mp3 to midi is difficult, and so freeware options are almost nil. There was a freeware suggested in the last post. Did you try that?

These seem to be players, not converters.

I'll give amazingmidi a try and see what it can do.

Thanks.

It can do what it says.

I converted an mp3 in to a wav - 16 bit 44.100 Hz as required - and then converted it using one of the tone wavs in the programme.

It reduced the 650 kbs mp3 down to a 40 kb midi - but the music was barely recognisable ! So I don't think it will do what I wanted. Maybe it's just not possible.
