ABOUT THE TOOL
About MP3 to MIDI
MP3 to MIDI is a focused online tool for turning detected notes in an MP3 recording into an editable standard MIDI file.
What it is built for
The converter is designed for musicians, songwriters, students, and curious listeners who want an editable starting point from recorded audio. It works especially well with clear solo instruments, voice, humming, piano, guitar, and bass.
Automatic transcription is not perfect. Dense songs, drums, effects, distortion, and overlapping instruments can create extra or missing notes. The result is intended to be reviewed and refined in a DAW or MIDI editor.
Private browser-based processing
Your MP3 is decoded and analyzed inside your browser. It is not uploaded to our server during conversion. Your browser downloads the application, the transcription model, and ordinary site assets needed to run the tool.
Open-source transcription model
Note detection uses Spotify's Basic Pitch TypeScript model, released under the Apache License 2.0. Basic Pitch supports polyphonic, instrument-agnostic note detection and works best on one instrument at a time.
