## About

### What it is

Music to MIDI turns an MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG or M4A file into editable MIDI, or splits it into separate WAV tracks. The Space, a desktop version and a Colab notebook share seven modes: SMART, VOCAL\_SPLIT, SIX\_STEM\_SPLIT and four piano modes. The models behind it include MuScriptor, YourMT3+, MIROS and several piano transcribers.

### Who it suits

Musicians, arrangers and producers who want a MIDI file from a recording so they can edit the notes.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Music production | Producers and arrangers | Turn a recording into MIDI they can edit | Pulling a melody out of a short clip |
| Piano teaching | Teachers and students | Transcribe a piano performance into notes | Getting a MIDI file from a short piano take |
| Audio editing | Sound editors | Split a track into vocals, accompaniment or six stems | Separating vocals from a backing track |

If you need to convert full-length songs on the hosted page, you can skip it, because ZeroGPU accepts only clips a few seconds long.

### Where to use it

- A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face, after you sign in
- Python 3.12.12 on Windows, macOS or Linux, for a copy you run yourself
- The desktop version or the Colab notebook, which the source says use the same modes

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Direct transcription | Musicians | A MIDI file from one click |
| Stem separation | Sound editors | WAV tracks to work on one by one |
| Per-track transcription | Arrangers | A MIDI file for each separated track, with its own model choice |

### How to set it up

On the hosted page you only sign in. A copy on your own computer needs more.

- A Hugging Face account, because conversion on the hosted page needs a login
- Python 3.12.12 and the pip tool
- The packages in requirements.txt and the system packages in packages.txt
- For the MuScriptor routes, accepted terms on three gated repositories and a private secret named HF\_TOKEN

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
2. Download the Space's files into a folder.
3. Move into that folder.
4. Install Gradio at the pinned version.
5. Install the packages from requirements.txt.
6. Start app.py.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download mason369/music-to-midi --repo-type space --local-dir music-to-midi
cd music-to-midi
pip install gradio==6.17.3
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

On a Space copy, save the token as a private secret in Settings, under Variables and secrets. A public variable, the repository or the logs are not supported places for it.

### How to use it

Sign in, upload an audio file and pick a mode. The five direct transcription modes make a MIDI file with one click. The two separation modes make WAV tracks and open a multi-track workbench, where each track has its own models and its own start button.

```sh
python app.py
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| SMART | Transcribes several instruments into MIDI, with an automatic or chosen instrument list |
| VOCAL\_SPLIT | Separates a vocals WAV and an accompaniment WAV |
| SIX\_STEM\_SPLIT | Separates the audio into six WAV tracks |
| Piano modes | Transcribe piano audio straight to MIDI with one of four piano models |
| Multi-track workbench | Offers thirteen transcription routes per track and a separate start button |

### Example

You sign in, upload a short MP3 of a piano melody, pick a piano mode and click once. You get a MIDI file whose notes you can edit. Clips longer than 2.50 seconds are refused on ZeroGPU, so use a copy with its own GPU or Colab for more.

### For newcomers and experts

MIDI is a file of notes rather than sound, so you can change a note, a tempo or an instrument after the conversion. To start, upload a few seconds of solo piano and use one of the piano modes.

SMART uses MuScriptor with 5 second windows and prelude forcing. A Beat This grid corrects onsets and sets tempo and bar phase. An empty instrument choice means automatic detection, and a filled one becomes a generation constraint. The default route is YourMT3+, and MIROS with MusicFM is another route. The ZeroGPU limits are admission estimates, not measured run times.

Sign in and upload audio → Pick a direct or a separation mode → The app estimates GPU use and checks the limit → Model runs, then you edit the MIDI or WAV

### Good to know

- Limits: ZeroGPU suits short clips, and the app refuses a job whose estimate passes the 300 GPU second window of a free signed-in account
- License: MIT covers only the Space's own app code, while third-party code, checkpoints, SoundFonts and datasets keep their own licenses
- Cost to run: a free Hugging Face account gets 5 minutes of ZeroGPU a day, and a copy needs an HF\_TOKEN secret with access to the gated MuScriptor repositories
- Data it reaches: the audio you upload, models and datasets pulled from the Hugging Face Hub, and the HF\_TOKEN secret on a copy
- Not for: long audio on ZeroGPU, or commercial use of the MuScriptor weights, which are gated and licensed CC BY-NC 4.0

Longest audio the ZeroGPU admission check accepts

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| SMART default | 2.00 s |
| SMART with MIROS | 1.00 s |
| SMART with MuScriptor Large | 0.833 s |
| SMART with MuScriptor Medium | 2.083 s |
| SMART with MuScriptor Small | 3.571 s |
| VOCAL\_SPLIT | 0.666 s |
| SIX\_STEM\_SPLIT | 0.277 s |
| Piano direct modes | 2.50 s |
