Keep your guitar.
Play the piano.
Live or from a recording, notes and chords land in your DAW as standard MIDI. Any guitar, any pickup — nothing to install on the instrument.
musictomidi.com converts your recordings online. Guitar to MIDI is the desktop version built for guitarists: it runs on your machine, tracks your playing as you play, and drops straight into your DAW.

REAL TIME
Precision you can dial in

02
Tunable detection
Onset, gate, sanitizer and hold let you shape the tracking around your technique, not the other way round.
03
A preset for each situation
Save a profile for chords, another for single-note lines, and recall whichever fits.

FAQ
How does the free trial work?
Download is immediate. Your 30-minute session starts the first time you sign in inside the app, not when you download.
Do I need a card for the trial?
No. Download, sign in, play. Buying the license is a separate step, afterwards.
Which platforms?
Windows only for now, macOS is in development. The license allows one active session per user.
How do I get the lowest latency?
Use an ASIO driver: your interface's own, or ASIO4ALL / FlexASIO if it doesn't ship one. WASAPI and DirectSound add noticeable delay live. Then lower the buffer size until just before it crackles.
Can I use it commercially?
Yes. Recordings, releases, gigs, client work: all covered by the license.
Is there a subscription?
None. Single payment, nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
