Somewhat of a tangent, but does anyone have a recommendation of an open source (ideally python) program that can make MIDI from piano audio?



I've been working on this for the last 3 months.

Can you send me your audio file? I'll send you back the midi I can generate; it won't be perfect but it might be usable. See comment elsewhere in this thread.


Awesome! Is your project open source? Can't wait to see it.

Here's the first (but by no means only) file I have in mind:

Stone Eyes from the Final Fantasy VII tribute album Voices of the Lifestream.


Here's an open-source project from Google Deepmind's Magenta Project, that does exactly what you want. https://magenta.tensorflow.org/onsets-frames


There is probably something out there, but I know you can do this in Ableton Live by dragging an audio file onto a MIDI track and it will extract the notes into MIDI for you.


Automatic music transcription is the technical/academic name of this task. Maybe that can help you in your search?


MIDI Guitar 2 from Jam Origin (jamorigin.com) works well even for piano.


Melodyne or Ableton. I've found Melodyne to be more accurate, but still not perfect.


They asked for open source
