Vocal to MIDI

Convert a vocal recording to MIDI: sung melodies, toplines and acapellas become MIDI notes you can play with any instrument. Free; nothing is uploaded.

A melody, voice, bass line or riff. Converted in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

How it works

  1. 1Drop your vocal recording or acapella onto the box above.
  2. 2The voice preset listens to the singing range and ignores breaths and harmonics.
  3. 3Play the MIDI back against the vocal.
  4. 4Download it and put a synth or piano on the melody.

From a sung line to a melody you can edit

Songwriters sing ideas long before they play them. Vocal to MIDI turns that topline into notes you can double with a synth, harmonise, or write a bass line under. Vibrato and slides become the nearest steady notes, which is what you want when you're writing parts.

For the cleanest result

  • Use a dry vocal: reverb tails add short ghost notes.
  • One voice at a time; stacked harmonies turn into chords.
  • If the vocal is inside a full song, use Song to MIDI: it separates the voice first.

Questions

Is it free?

Converting one instrument is free and unlimited, and runs in your browser. Downloads are free too: 3 a month with a free account. Piano and whole-song mode give you a free 30-second preview; Pro converts whole files up to 15 minutes.

Will the MIDI line up with my DAW's grid?

Yes, for music with a steady beat. AnyToMIDI detects the tempo, writes it into the file and moves the first beat onto a bar line, so the notes land on your DAW's grid at the project tempo. If it reads a slow song at double speed, use the ½× button before downloading.

Can it hear my humming instead?

Yes. Humming works the same way; the Hum to MIDI page can also record straight from your microphone.
