Structured MIDI data

MIDI to JSON

Export a MIDI file as a versioned JSON object with header data, tracks, notes, tempo points, duration, and a key estimate for scripts or AI workflows.

Open a MIDI file

Stay on-device. Start empty if you have no file, or try a public demo.

Off-grid notes, wild velocities, leftover gaps — the dirty AI-song export producers actually get.

A clean four-bar piano phrase you can transpose, quantize, or reshape immediately.

Drums, bass, and chords on separate tracks for mute, solo, and merge practice.

The same hook after quantize and velocity cleanup — the after shot for the messy export.

Your file stays on this device unless you explicitly use Creator Cloud. After an edit, one local recovery copy is saved in this browser until you replace or clear it.

Creator Cloud

Keep the versions and extend the phrase.

Creator Cloud adds cloud history and reviewed AI MIDI edits a month. The tool you are using stays free.

  • 60 reviewed AI MIDI edits each month
  • 50 cloud projects with 100 versions each
  • Cancel anytime; the free editor stays free

A predictable shape for code

The export starts with a schema name, editmidi.midi.v1, so a script can check what it received. Header fields describe the SMF type, PPQ, and track count. Duration records seconds, bars, and time signature. Tempo is an array of tick and microseconds-per-beat points.

Each track includes its name, one-based channel, program number, note count, and an array of notes. Every note has a number, name, channel, start and end ticks, duration, and velocity. A detected key object is included when the file has pitched notes.

Useful for AI and analysis workflows

A language model cannot open a binary .mid file directly. A JSON export gives it a bounded, readable representation of the notes and structure that you can paste into a prompt, store as a fixture, or validate with a schema.

Keep the original MIDI as the source of truth. JSON is a derived view: it does not preserve every controller, SysEx message, or device-specific detail. If a downstream tool needs to reconstruct the file exactly, keep the .mid as well.

Schema and copy workflow

Use Download JSON when you need a file, or Copy when you are pasting into a notebook or chat. The preview shows the beginning of the document; the download and copy actions use the complete object, not the shortened preview.

The object is generated from the current document in the browser. If you edit the MIDI and export again, the new JSON reflects the new note positions. Nothing is uploaded and no account is required.

Size and privacy boundaries

A file with thousands of notes can produce a large JSON document. The preview is intentionally truncated, and the browser may take a moment to serialize a large file. The export is limited by the same 20,000-event editor boundary as every other tool.

The JSON includes note and tempo data, not audio. It does not contain your account identity, filename history, or cloud project metadata. Treat it like the MIDI itself: it may still contain musical ideas you do not want to share publicly.
