Hi to all!

I want to know if do you use any kind of program to convert from .wav to .mid.

I toke a look to Muse, from Matthew Cochrane... and I think it's very difficult to do something like this just editing....

Thank you

i don't think thats possible. as far as i know to make a midi you use a midi sequencer and a midi keyboard.

if it is possible to convery wav to midi's please email me at mirwais_fan@hotmail.com. I want to do it with the songs i've made. you can here them at http://www.mp3.com/57_13/

Well, I know some programs that try to do this... but, the results aren't too good.

By the way, I've gone to mp3 site, and there is some kind of problem with your song. My mp3 player says that the file no longer exists.

Thanks

Software that I've seen which is able to create a midi file from audio has worked with monophonic lines only - if you want to play a whole song in, they're not going to be any help at all. Things that work well also tend not to be cheap...

Roland did a stand alone pitch-midi convertor (again monophonic), the GI-10 (hope I've remembered that one right), at one time (which also worked together with one of their GK-2A guitar pickups to give polyphonic guitar-midi conversion). Yamaha also produced a similar box, and may still offer it. Either of those pieces of equipment would allow you to plug in any monophonic audio source and use it to generate midi note data.

I think it would be quicker to produce something like Matthew Cochrane's Muse by tapping notes into a sequencer (though I'd guess he might have used a keyboard or a midi guitar) than it would be by playing around trying to get a decent result out of any pitch-midi software (a bit like with OCR...maybe it's improved now, but it used to be quicker for me to type out something than to go through a document correcting all the mistakes the OCR software had made...).

Bear in mind that MP3/WAV are sound recordings, whereas MIDI is a bit like a score that a MIDI sequencer reads through.

Straight conversion isn't possible FULL STOP You can try transcribing the music, but if you don't have a score to work from, this can be laborious.

Programs that try to do this kind of conversion (monophonic and poliphonic): Melodyne, Intelliscore, widi recognition system, autoscore.

MID --> WAV/MP3 is easy, just set your sound card to record, and set the MIDI file to play. WAV/MP3 --> MID *shouldn't* be possible due to the digitisation process losing sonic data, and the vastly different type of data. As Korgy's already said, it would be like working with mid-quality OCR
