Download the plugin for free →Turn your MP3 into editable MIDI in three simple steps. No manual note entry or complicated conversion settings are required.
Choose an audio file, record your performance or paste a supported video link to begin your MP3 to MIDI conversion.
Choose the instruments you want Klangio to detect, such as vocals, piano, drums, bass, guitar, synthesizer, strings or wind instruments.
Review the detected notes in your browser, make adjustments and export quantized or unquantized MIDI for your DAW.
An MP3 contains recorded sound, while MIDI contains editable note information. Klangio analyzes the music itself to identify pitches, rhythms and instruments and recreate them as MIDI.
Select the instruments you want to transcribe and receive individual MIDI output for each selected part — even when several instruments are playing at the same time.
Instrument availability may depend on the selected Klangio transcription mode.
Choose the MIDI output that best fits your workflow.
Notes are aligned to the detected tempo grid, making the file easier to edit, arrange and use for notation.
The original timing of the performance is preserved more closely, including small variations that create a natural musical feel.
