Pianoscribe turns piano recordings into MIDI: musical notes you can edit and arrange in music or notation software. This audio-to-MIDI converter runs locally on Windows without uploading your recording.
It estimates notes, timing, dynamics, sustain and soft-pedal use. Choose expressive or uniform note strength and whether to include pedals. Clear solo piano recordings give the best starting point; review the result and correct it in your music software.
Adjust CPU resource use to suit other work, or set up optional CUDA or DirectML processing on compatible hardware. GPU speed benefits depend on the computer and recording.
Use the installer or standalone app. Both include CPU support and require a separate model download. Settings and downloaded components stay in your Windows user profile. Numbered output filenames preserve existing MIDI files.
