How to convert a song to MIDI
Compare the detected notes
Press Convert to MIDI. Read the pitches, start times, durations, and velocities in the result. The piano roll displays those same detected notes; it is not a hand-corrected score.
Take the notes into your DAW
Download the .mid file and assign an instrument in your music software. Listen alongside the original passage, then correct missing notes, extra notes, and note lengths.
FILE SUPPORT

These audio and video containers are accepted. A file still needs a readable audio track; its extension alone does not guarantee that its codec or contents can be decoded. The limit is one file, up to 200 MB and 10 minutes. A video contributes its sound only.

BEFORE YOU USE THE NOTES
A song mix is not a MIDI arrangement
Vocals, bass, chords, and percussion overlap in a finished recording. This converter estimates pitched note events from the combined sound. It does not identify each player or produce separate vocal, drum, bass, and accompaniment tracks.
Use the result as material to inspect and edit. An apparent chord may contain a false note, a sustained sound may become several short notes, and a quiet part may be missed. Converting the same recording again is not a guarantee of a better transcription.
If you have access to the original session, export the part you want on its own. This page cannot isolate that part for you. A song-to-MIDI download contains note instructions, not the original singer, instrument tone, lyrics, or a finished score.
GOOD TO KNOW
Song to MIDI FAQ
Can I convert a whole song to MIDI?
You can select a supported song file within the displayed limits. The output is one track of estimated notes from its audio. A complete band mix may contain substantial errors, so check a short passage before relying on the result.
Will I get the melody, bass, and drums on separate tracks?
No. This converter does not separate instruments or label their parts. It exports a single detected-note track and does not create a dedicated drum track.
Can I turn a song into MIDI without uploading it?
Yes. Decoding and note detection run in this browser. It downloads the converter resources, but your selected audio or video file is not sent to an online conversion service.
Does the MIDI sound exactly like the song?
No. MIDI describes notes and their timing and velocity. The original sound is not included. The instrument you choose in a DAW determines how the downloaded notes sound.
Can I paste a streaming or video link?
No. This page accepts files from your device, not website links. It does not download songs from streaming services.
Why are there wrong notes or short fragments?
The model estimates note events from audio. Overlapping sounds, background noise, and sustained sounds can lead to missing, extra, or fragmented notes. Compare the MIDI with the recording and edit the result in music software.
Does 120 BPM mean the song's tempo was detected?
No. It is the exported file's timebase, not a measured song tempo. The note list gives times in seconds from the start of your file.
Is the song to MIDI converter free?
Yes. You can convert a supported file and download its MIDI without an account. There is no batch conversion or saved conversion history.
