CONVERSION GUIDE

WAV to MIDI

Export a short WAV from your recorder or DAW and recover the notes as a standard MIDI file.

01

Export a clean PCM WAV

Select the section of interest and bounce the instrument or voice on its own. If an unusual WAV encoding fails to open, export a conventional 16-bit PCM WAV. A mono bounce is useful when the two stereo channels contain different parts.

02

Keep the clip within the limits

Each file can be up to 60 seconds and 25 MiB. With WAV, it is possible to exceed the size limit before reaching the duration limit. Trim the take first or export mono; simply renaming it does not change the encoding.

03

Check timing after import

Align the first clear attack of your downloaded MIDI with the WAV in your DAW. Remove any stray events and adjust note ends by ear before applying quantization or trying a new instrument.
