Audio to MIDI: turn one stem of your track into notes
Audio to MIDI in AI Song Generator converts one separated stem of a track in your library, such as the piano, the bass or the lead vocal, into a .mid file you can open in any DAW. It is a Pro plan tool that works after a stem split, and the credit cost is shown before you confirm.

How it works
Generate with clear parts
Sparse arrangements with distinct instruments separate and convert better.
Split the track into stems
Run a stem split on the track you want notes from.
Pick one stem and confirm
Choose the part to convert, check the credit cost, then confirm.
Download and tidy the .mid file
Import it into your DAW, line it up with the audio and fix stray notes.
How audio to MIDI works
Notes are far easier to detect in an isolated part than in a full mix, so the converter works from stems rather than from the finished song. A conversion takes three steps:
- Split a track from your library into stems
- Pick the one stem you want as notes: piano, bass, guitar, synth, vocals or another part
- Confirm the credit cost and download the result as a standard .mid file
One stem per conversion
Each conversion turns a single stem into a single MIDI file. If you want the bass line and the piano part, run the converter twice, once per stem, and each run shows its own cost before you confirm. Keeping parts in separate files also makes them easier to assign to different instruments in your DAW.
The stems stay in your library after the split, so you can come back later and convert another part without splitting the track again.
What MIDI is useful for
MIDI is note data, not sound: pitch, timing, length and velocity. In a DAW you can assign it to any instrument, fix wrong notes, change the tempo without audio artifacts, or open it in a scoring program to see it as notation.
- Doubling a generated bass line with your own synth
- Replacing a generated piano part with a sampled grand piano
- Learning a part by reading its notes
- Building new arrangements from a generated idea
What to expect from the conversion
Turning audio into notes is an estimate, and the quality of the MIDI depends mostly on the stem you choose. Parts that play one note at a time convert best; dense or noisy parts come out rougher and need more editing.
- Best: bass lines, lead melodies, simple synth lines and a clear lead vocal
- Usable with cleanup: piano and guitar parts with chords, where some inner notes go missing or appear twice
- Roughest: distorted guitars, wide pads, busy drum kits and parts with heavy reverb
Plans and scope
Audio to MIDI is part of the Pro plan, alongside the multi-stem split it builds on. The conversion and the split are priced separately in credits, and both costs are shown before you confirm. Like stem splitting, it works on tracks created in your AI Song Generator library rather than on recordings uploaded from elsewhere.
The result is a MIDI file, not sheet music. Notation software can display it as a score, but a readable part usually needs edits to rhythm, note spelling and layout.

Starting points you can paste into Create and adjust. Specific details — tempo, instruments, mood, structure — give the most control.
- Prominent bass lineInstrumental
Funky track with a prominent, clean bass line I want to convert to MIDI
Stylefunk, dry slap bass upfront, simple drums, light keys
A dry, upfront bass converts with few stray notes.
Use in the Studio - Piano piece to studyInstrumental
Solo piano piece whose notes I want to study
Stylesolo piano, moderate tempo, clear melody, light pedal
Light pedal keeps notes from blurring into each other.
Use in the Studio - Synth lead to rebuildInstrumental
Synthwave track with a memorable lead melody to rebuild in my DAW
Stylesynthwave, mono synth lead, simple bass, steady drums
A mono lead plays one note at a time, which suits conversion.
Use in the Studio - Repeating arpeggioInstrumental
Electronic track built on a repeating arpeggio
Styleminimal techno, clean arpeggiated synth, sparse percussion
