Re: [disklavier] Re: Problem conveting .wav to .mid files

I use (Celemony) Melodyne to convert audio files of smoking-hot jazz performances (from CD, Youtube, wherever) to MIDI. Just for the purpose of jazz study (the reason I collect Disklavier jazz sequences too, even though I don't own a Disklavier.)

Melodyne's conversion is not perfect, you get about 40% of the played notes (sometimes entire chords get skipped, as in the case of Chick Corea's Duet Suite), but it converts enough notes that one can figure out the other 60% with a good proficiency of jazz harmony.

I'm not totally proficient (yet), so I figured out only 59% of Duet Suite; there is one awesome single chord that just eludes me, in spite of knowing the chords before and after it.

Joe,

I'm not totally sure about this, but wouldn't IntelliScore serve your
purpose here? It does convert audio files into MIDI files. It also
eliminates vocal performances from instrumental tracks.
