WAV to MIDI: Piano and General Music
WAV to MIDI: Piano and General Music
Convert your WAV recording into editable MIDI with piano transcription or a general music model. WAV holds sampled sound; MIDI holds musical events. Keep both files when you need the recorded sound as well as editable notes.
Start without signing in. Check the tool for your current trial credits, file limits and the quote before conversion.
Hear an actual MeluMimi result
This is an authorized 15-second piano recording and its actual, unedited MIDI generated on August 13, 2026. It demonstrates the piano workflow; it is not an example of all four general models or a result for every source format.

Use the original WAV when available
WAV can preserve an uncompressed recording, but it can also contain clipping, echo or overlapping instruments. A WAV made from a compressed MP3 retains that source’s limitations. Listen to the relevant musical phrase before choosing a model.
Choose piano or general MIDI
Piano transcription focuses on a piano performance, with timing, velocity and the available sustain options. For other musical recordings, compare MeluMimi Lyra, Aria, Muse and Opus. Start with a short phrase and inspect note pitch, beginnings, endings and extra or missing notes; different models can behave differently on the same source.
Extract a part when the mix is crowded
If you need one instrument from a full song, use the separate stem tool to extract a supported target and listen to its remaining mix. Download the target audio, then upload it to MIDI conversion yourself. These are two manual steps; the result is not a guaranteed reconstruction of every instrument as labeled MIDI tracks.
Check the notes in your editor
Download the .mid file, import it into a compatible DAW or MIDI editor and assign a software instrument. Compare a short passage against the original. Adjust extra notes, missed notes, timing, note length and velocity as needed. MIDI playback uses the selected instrument rather than the original recorded tone.
Choose the output you actually need
Use MIDI conversion for editable notes, stem separation for isolated musical audio, speech denoising for spoken recordings, and format conversion for an audio file in another encoding. Changing MP3 or WAV format alone does not create MIDI.
Common questions
Is this only a piano converter?
No. The same tool offers piano transcription and four general MIDI models. Choose a mode for the material and compare its output. Spoken words are not a MIDI transcription task.
Can I turn a complete song into separate MIDI instruments?
General conversion accepts suitable musical audio, but it does not promise a complete, correctly labeled multitrack arrangement. For a particular part, try the supported stem target first, inspect that audio and then convert it separately.
Does the MIDI keep the original sound?
MIDI stores musical instructions, not the recording. Keep the source or separated audio for its tone; choose a virtual instrument to play the MIDI.
What are the current file and trial limits?
The tool shows supported formats, file and duration limits, available trial credits and the quote before processing. Use that current information rather than an old minute-pack allowance.
