MIDI Extractor FAQs

How accurate is the MIDI extraction?

Our AI achieves professional-grade accuracy, especially for clear recordings. Extraction quality improves significantly when used with our stem separation first.

What file formats can I extract MIDI from?

Extract MIDI from MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC/M4A, OGG, AIFF, and all major audio formats. The system handles any audio input automatically.

Can I extract MIDI from full songs or just individual instruments?

Both! For full songs, we recommend using stem separation first to isolate specific instruments, then extract MIDI from the separated tracks for best results.

What instruments work best for MIDI extraction?

Piano, guitar, bass, other lead instruments (like strings, brass, or synth leads), and vocals produce the highest accuracy. Drums and percussion focus on rhythmic pattern extraction.

Will it work in my browser?

Music Demixer works best on modern computers with up-to-date web browsers. WebGPU in the latest Chrome, Edge, or Safari 18+ gives the best results. Use our compatibility check or visit the full guide to see if your setup is ready.

Extract MIDI from MP3, WAV, Any Audio File

Our MIDI extractor AI transforms any audio recording into editable MIDI files with professional accuracy. Whether you need to extract MIDI from MP3 files, WAV recordings, or any other audio format, our advanced AI technology analyzes your audio and generates clean, usable MIDI data ready for your favorite DAW or music software.

AI-Powered MIDI Extraction Tool

Unlike simple pitch detection tools, our AI-powered MIDI extraction analyzes complex musical elements including polyphonic content, timing variations, and performance nuances. The system recognizes multiple simultaneous notes, preserves original timing feel, and captures velocity dynamics for realistic MIDI playback.

Advanced MIDI Extraction from Any Audio

Extract MIDI from piano performances, guitar solos, bass lines, drum grooves, vocal melodies, or other lead instruments like strings, brass, synth leads, and woodwinds. Our intelligent extraction algorithms adapt to different instrument types, recognizing the unique characteristics of each sound source to produce the most accurate MIDI representation possible.

How MIDI Extraction AI Technology Works

Our MIDI extractor uses state-of-the-art machine learning models trained on millions of audio-MIDI pairs. The AI analyzes your audio through multiple processing stages:

  • Onset Detection: Identifies when notes begin and end
  • Pitch Analysis: Determines the fundamental frequency of each note
  • Polyphonic Separation: Distinguishes multiple simultaneous notes
  • Rhythm Quantization: Interprets timing while preserving musical feel
  • Velocity Mapping: Converts volume variations to MIDI velocity data

This comprehensive analysis ensures that extracted MIDI files capture not just the notes, but the musical expression and performance characteristics of the original recording.

Instrument-Specific MIDI Extraction

Piano MIDI Extraction: Full polyphonic transcription including sustain pedal detection and hand separation. The AI understands piano-specific techniques like arpeggiation and captures the complete dynamic range from soft passages to powerful fortissimo sections.

Guitar MIDI Extraction: Accurate note detection including string bends, slides, and hammer-ons. The system recognizes guitar-specific articulations and can differentiate between fretted notes and open strings, producing MIDI that reflects authentic guitar performance techniques.

Vocal MIDI Extraction: Advanced vocal melody extraction that captures sung pitches with proper phrasing and breath articulation. The AI distinguishes between sung notes and speech, focusing on the musical content while filtering out non-tonal elements.

Other Lead MIDI Extraction: A catchall mode for melodic instruments beyond piano, guitar, and bass. Perfect for strings, brass, synth leads, woodwinds, and other lead lines that sit on top of your mix.

Bass MIDI Extraction: Pitch tracking in low frequencies. Our extraction preserves the rhythmic pocket and groove essential to bass performance, including ghost notes and percussive techniques.

Drum MIDI Extraction: Dedicated drum transcription that maps percussive hits into MIDI drum lanes, capturing kick, snare, cymbals, and tom patterns with tight timing for immediate sequencing or remixing.

Professional Workflow Integration

DAW Compatibility: Extracted MIDI files work seamlessly with all major digital audio workstations including Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools, and Studio One. Import directly and start editing immediately.

Combined with Stem Separation: For optimal results from complex recordings, first use our stem separation tool to isolate individual instruments, then extract MIDI from the clean separated tracks. This workflow produces the highest accuracy MIDI extraction from multi-instrument recordings.

MIDI and Sheet Music Together: All MIDI extraction includes the option to generate printable sheet music, giving you both editable MIDI data and readable notation from the same source audio.

Applications for Music Production

Remix and Sample Creation: Extract MIDI from vocal hooks, instrumental riffs, or drum patterns to create entirely new compositions. The MIDI data can trigger different sounds while maintaining the original musical timing and feel.

Music Learning and Analysis: Study complex performances by extracting MIDI that can be slowed down, transposed, or analyzed note-by-note in your DAW. Perfect for learning intricate solos or understanding harmonic progressions.

Composition and Arrangement: Use extracted MIDI as the foundation for new compositions. Take a melody from one recording and develop it with different harmonies, rhythms, or instrumentation using the extracted MIDI as your starting point.

Quality Optimization Tips

To achieve the best MIDI extraction results:

  • Use clean recordings: Minimize background noise and reverb when possible
  • Consider monophonic sources: Single-note melodies extract more accurately than complex chords
  • Leverage stem separation: Isolate specific instruments before extraction for cleaner results
  • Choose appropriate settings: Select the correct instrument hint to optimize extraction algorithms
  • Post-process in DAW: Fine-tune timing and note accuracy in your preferred music software

Privacy and Local Processing

All MIDI extraction happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your audio files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy for unreleased music, copyrighted material, or sensitive recordings. Local processing also eliminates upload times and provides instant results without server dependencies.

MIDI Extractor vs Traditional Tools

Traditional MIDI extraction requires expensive software installations and complex setup procedures. Our browser-based solution provides professional-quality results with zero installation, no learning curve, and complete privacy protection.

Unlike simple pitch-to-MIDI converters, our AI understands musical context, recognizes multiple instruments, and preserves the expressive qualities that make music human.
