Detect editable MIDI notes from a clean WAV vocal, bass line, or solo instrument recording, then review, quantize, transpose, and export .mid.
Drop a clean WAV melody here, or import from:
A WAV to MIDI converter analyzes pitch and note timing in a WAV recording, then creates MIDI events that can be edited independently of the original waveform.
WAV is a strong source for melody detection because it commonly stores uncompressed PCM audio, although clean monophonic content still matters more than file size or sample rate alone.
Use a .wav vocal, bass, whistle, or solo instrument recording with one main note at a time.
A PCM WAV avoids the attack smearing and encoding artifacts that may be present in a low-bitrate compressed source.
Inspect the detected melody on a piano roll and check note pitch, timing, duration, and velocity.
Quantize, transpose, choose an instrument program, preview, and export standard MIDI data.
Start with a dry, close WAV recording for the clearest result.
Choose a solo vocal melody, bass line, whistle, or single-note instrument file in WAV format.
Use a stricter setting for a strong studio source or Quiet Details when softer notes are being missed.
Review the detected notes on the piano roll and check their pitch, timing, length, and velocity.
Set tempo, quantize timing, transpose the phrase, preview the MIDI, and create the .mid file.
An uncompressed container preserves the recording, but it cannot make several simultaneous pitches behave like one melody.
Monophonic vocals, bass, woodwinds, brass, and lead instruments are better sources than chords or full mixes.
Direct input or a close microphone reduces room reflections and reverb tails that may create extra note events.
A clean signal level makes pitch boundaries and note attacks easier to detect than a distorted or noisy recording.
A normal 44.1 or 48 kHz WAV is sufficient; musical overlap and source clarity matter more than an unusually high sample rate.
WAV works especially well for newly recorded or DAW-exported solo material.
Convert a clean microphone or direct-input take into a MIDI draft without first encoding it to a lossy format.
Export a short solo phrase as WAV, detect the notes, and reimport the MIDI to trigger another virtual instrument.
Create an editable note starting point for notation from a permitted solo performance.
Transpose or quantize the detected melody while preserving the original WAV as the audio reference.
WAV preserves recorded sound; MIDI represents the detected performance as editable instructions.
| WAV | MIDI | |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Usually uncompressed audio samples | Note pitch, timing, duration, and velocity |
| Contains original tone | Yes | No |
| Edit individual notes | Not directly | Yes |
| Typical use | Recording, mixing, and mastering | Arrangement, notation, and virtual instruments |
Keep the source WAV when the original voice, instrument tone, or performance detail is still needed.
Convert MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, AAC, AIFF, WMA, Opus, and AMR, with optional MP4 audio input and ALAC output.
Convert MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM, FLV, or WMV entirely in your browser.
Detect monophonic pitch, clean up timing, transpose notes, preview the result, and export a standard MIDI file.
