Upload a recording and the AI listens to it and writes out the main melody and the chords underneath as sheet music, with a key signature, time signature and tempo. You see the score right on the page, can save it as a PDF to print, and can download a MusicXML file to edit in notation software. Songs longer than 30 seconds are transcribed one section at a time, up to 90 seconds, so you pick the part you care about most.
You can try it free. New accounts get 6 free credits for 7 days, and each transcription costs 3 credits, so you can turn up to 2 sections into sheet music before paying anything. Saving the PDF and downloading the MusicXML are included. After that you buy credits as you need them, with no subscription required.
Sign in and upload your audio file (MP3, WAV, FLAC and other common formats, up to 80MB). If the song is longer than 30 seconds, choose a section length of 30, 60 or 90 seconds and set where it starts. Press Generate Sheet Music. It can take a minute, then you see the score with buttons to download the MusicXML or save a PDF, and the result is saved to your History.
Writing out a full song in one pass is not reliable for the AI, so the tool transcribes up to 90 seconds at a time. Choose the part that matters most, such as the hook or a verse. For another part, run it again on a different section.
It works best on clear material: solo piano, a single instrument, or a song where one melody stands out. With a full band it focuses on the most prominent melody and the chords underneath, and dense parts come out more approximate. The tool is in beta, so check the result by ear and fix any wrong notes in your notation software before you print or share it.
MusicXML is the standard file format for sheet music. Unlike a PDF, you can open and edit it in most notation software: fix notes, change the key, switch instruments and print new parts.
Not inside the tool. It writes the music in the key it hears. To move it to another key, open the MusicXML file in notation software and transpose it there. To find out what key a song is in first, use Detect Key and BPM.
Yes. A sung melody is a good fit, especially a vocal with little or no backing. If your vocal is mixed into a full track, you can pull it out first with Vocal Remover, which gives you the vocal on its own, and then transcribe that.
It gives you MusicXML, and most notation software can export that as MIDI. To create new MIDI parts from a text prompt instead, see AI MIDI Generation.
