This looks pretty useful if it works as described... I'll try it out this week for sure. My DAW doesn't have a voice record feature that can transcribe to MIDI, so hopefully this will save time in generating accurate riffs and hooks.

The problem with a lot of tools like this though is they either discontinue service or start charging unexpectedly... I wish they would create future proof hardware or stand alone apps instead of running it as a web site.


They link to the github repo, python based code, pip instalable; there they mention theres also an npm instalable version.


Is it better than Abletons Audio-to-MIDI Converter? The issue with Abletons is if I play fast piano pieces with chords that have many notes it messes up the timing and the notes. It also gets velocity of the notes wrong.
