FAQ
Sheet Music to MIDI Questions
Is this sheet music to MIDI converter free?
Your first 3 pages are free when you sign up. After that, a page costs one credit. Credit packs start at $4.99 for 15 pages, which works out to 20 to 33 cents a page, and pack credits last 12 months. Subscriptions start at $4 a month billed yearly and cost less per page if you convert every week.
How accurate is sheet music to MIDI conversion?
We tested our sheet music to MIDI conversion on real scores: four engraved public-domain pieces, two scanned pages from an 1880s edition, and two phone photos. It found 99.8% to 100% of the pitches and matched 98% to 100% of the rhythms. Small print, heavy shadows and handwriting lower the score.
Does sheet music to MIDI work for piano, with both hands, chords and multiple voices?
Yes. We tested 7 engraved piano and keyboard pieces, 19 pages in all. Both staves were read on every page, and the MIDI keeps the right and left hands on separate tracks. Bach's C major prelude and first invention, a four-part Bach chorale and Chopin's E minor prelude came out at 97% to 100% of the notes, and the chorale kept its separate voices in the MusicXML. Für Elise, a Beethoven sonata and a Chopin nocturne, with fast runs and ornaments, came out at 86% to 94%, so play those back before you rely on them.
Can I convert a PDF to MIDI, or only photos?
Both. PDF to MIDI works for files exported from notation software and for scanned PDFs. Photos in JPG or PNG work too, and on a phone you can take the picture right from the upload box.
Is this a sheet music scanner app I need to install?
No. It is a sheet music scanner and sheet music to MIDI tool that runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to install, and your history follows your account across devices.
How do I open the MIDI in MuseScore or my DAW?
Drag the .mid file into Logic, Ableton, GarageBand, FL Studio or Synthesia. For MuseScore, open the .musicxml file instead: it keeps the clefs, key, dynamics and layout that MIDI leaves out.
What if a page fails to convert?
The credit for that page comes back to your account automatically, and the rest of your sheet music to MIDI job still finishes. Retake the photo straight on, in good light, with the whole staff in frame.
