Re: [disklavier] Re: Convert MP3 or any music file to MIDI?

2016-02-12 by Mark Fontana

Your solution is the right one.  Having a decent pianist play the 
material by ear will produce far better results than any of the current 
audio->MIDI software.  In 15-20 years, software and AI techniques may 
have advanced to a point where this sort of conversion becomes 
practical, but we're not there yet.
