Pick the right source
Upload a local WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, M4A, AAC, or WMA file, or select a finished Workspace song. Clear melodies and focused instrument parts usually produce cleaner MIDI.
Audio to MIDI
Audio to MIDI workflow
Turn a real audio idea into editable MIDI
Use this page when you already have a melody, riff, demo, or generated song and want a MIDI reference to edit. Upload audio, run Basic Pitch, then take the .mid file into your editor or DAW.
How the conversion works
One source audio file, one editable MIDI result
The converter keeps the path narrow on purpose: pick the audio, let Basic Pitch transcribe notes, then review the MIDI file before you edit it elsewhere.
2
Run Basic Pitch
AIMusicGens transcribes the selected source audio into MIDI. The page keeps generation, key, tempo, genre, and scale controls out of the conversion flow so the result matches the actual tool.
3
Download and keep editing
The returned MIDI URL appears in the results workspace. Download it, then adjust notes, timing, and instruments in a MIDI editor or your DAW.
When to use this tool
Audio to MIDI is for extraction, not generation
AIMusicGens already has tools for making songs, splitting stems, and editing MIDI. This page fills the gap between an existing audio idea and editable note data.
Use existing recordings
Bring in a melody you hummed, a guitar phrase, a piano sketch, or another short idea that you want to rebuild as editable notes.
Convert audio
Convert finished Workspace songs
If you made a song in AIMusicGens, you can reuse that track as the source instead of downloading it and uploading it again.
Convert audio
Use a focused transcription flow
The workspace asks only for the source audio and shows the MIDI result when it is ready, so you do not confuse conversion with song generation.

Move MIDI into the right editor
Use the converted file as a starting point. Clean up note lengths, split tracks, change instruments, or keep arranging in the MIDI Editor or your DAW.

What to expect from the MIDI file
Audio-to-MIDI transcription is useful, but it is not the same as receiving a perfect studio session file. Treat the result as an editable draft.
Clear melodies work best
Single-note lines, piano phrases, guitar riffs, hooks, and short loops are easier to read than crowded full mixes.
Full songs can be dense
When vocals, drums, bass, and effects overlap, the MIDI may contain extra notes or timing guesses that need cleanup.
MIDI is a starting point
Use the result to study notes, rebuild a melody, change instruments, or continue arranging after you edit the transcription.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best use for this Audio to MIDI Converter?
Use it when you already have audio and want editable note data. It works well for melodies, hooks, riffs, piano sketches, guitar phrases, short loops, and generated AIMusicGens songs that you want to rebuild as MIDI.
Can I upload a local audio file?
Yes. Choose Upload Music and select a supported audio file from your device, such as MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, AAC, FLAC, or WMA. Files can be up to 100 MB.
Can I convert a Workspace song to MIDI?
Yes. Choose From My Music and select a completed AIMusicGens song. The page uses that saved song audio as the conversion source, so you do not need to download and re-upload it.
Do Audio to MIDI conversions require an account?
Yes. Conversions run for signed-in AIMusicGens users and count toward the same daily or subscription usage period as other generation tools.
Do I need prompts, tempo, or key settings?
No. Audio-to-MIDI conversion reads the notes from the source audio. Tempo, key, genre, lyrics, and scale prompts are better handled after conversion in a MIDI editor or DAW.
Is the MIDI output ready for a DAW?
Yes. The returned file is a standard MIDI file that you can download and open in a DAW or MIDI editor. You may still need to clean up notes, timing, velocities, and instrument assignments.
When should I use MIDI Editor instead?
Use MIDI Editor after conversion when you want to inspect and change the notes. Use this Audio to MIDI page first when the starting point is an audio recording or finished song.
Start with the audio you already have
Upload a local file or choose a finished AIMusicGens track. The converter returns a MIDI file you can download, inspect, and refine.
