Local audio draft

WAV to MIDI converter

A WAV to MIDI draft starts from an uncompressed recording: the detector follows one clear melody for the first 30 seconds and opens the estimated notes in the piano roll. The file is decoded on this device.

Audio never leaves this device. This rough draft follows one dominant melody from the first 30 seconds. Chords, drums, vocals inside a full mix, and polyphonic arrangements are not supported.

Choose a clear monophonic recording. The first 30 seconds become a rough melody draft in the piano roll.

Next: open the draft in the piano roll editor, then quantize the timing or even out the velocity. The draft opens automatically when the analysis finishes.

Why a WAV is a good starting point

A WAV avoids the compression artifacts an MP3 adds, so pitch tracking has cleaner material to follow. Format alone does not separate instruments: a WAV to MIDI draft still needs one melody that dominates the recording.

Mono or centered sources work best. Trim the file so the useful phrase sits inside the analyzed window, and keep reverb, delay, and background noise low.

What the draft contains after 30 seconds

The draft holds estimated pitches, start times, note lengths, and velocity values for one voice at a time. It does not contain the original sound, and chords, drums, and dense mixes are outside this detector.

Only the first 30 seconds are analyzed. If the melody begins later, cut the phrase out before opening it here instead of uploading a longer recording.

Fix the draft, then export a .mid file

The result opens directly in the piano roll, where you can delete false notes, move octave slips, resize note endings, quantize to a grid, and even out velocity.

Export a standard MIDI file when the phrase reads correctly, then assign your own instrument in a DAW. The first automatic pass is a sketch, not a finished transcription.

Local processing, stated limits

Decoding and analysis run in this browser; the recording is not uploaded and no account is required. A decode failure is reported as an error instead of being forwarded to another service.

Use audio you are allowed to convert. Local processing changes where the work happens, not the rights attached to the recording.

Keep the same file

All EditMIDI tools

Every page runs on the same browser MIDI engine, so you can move between them without uploading or re-importing your file.

Broader transcription waitlist

The local result is a rough monophonic melody sketch, not a complete-song transcription. Join AI Credits if you want to hear when a broader workflow is good enough to charge for.
