Convert MP4 Audio to MIDI Notes
This tool reads the audio in an MP4 file and converts the time range you choose into MIDI note events. MIDI is not recorded audio: it is a file of musical notes that compatible music software can open and edit.
Use it when a melody, riff, or musical phrase in an MP4 is the part you need to work with. Select that passage, create the MIDI result, then download the file.
