Description
NeuralNote is a deep-learning audio-to-MIDI plug-in from DamRsn for converting recorded or imported tonal audio into editable MIDI. It accepts voice and other tonal instruments, supports polyphonic transcription and pitch-bend detection, and is designed to keep the process lightweight and fast.
Record into the plug-in or drop in WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, or OGG audio. NeuralNote displays the transcription in a piano-roll view, lets you audition it, adjust parameters while listening, and independently balance the source and synthesized transcription.
The plug-in can scale and time-quantize the generated MIDI before export. Drag the finished transcription from the piano roll to a MIDI track, then edit notes in the DAW like any other performance.
DamRsn provides Windows, macOS Universal, and Linux releases. The installers include Standalone and VST3, with AU on Mac; Linux builds provide VST3 and Standalone binaries.
