Converting Wav To Midi?

Your Avatar
Submitted by anonymous on Tue, 04/15/2003 - 10:53

I am trying to convert simple mono wav files into midi files for the purpose of importing into Score editing software such as Noteworthy composer or Vivaldi gold. The only midi files I seem to be capable of making are "Type 0" files. So far "Type 0" midi files seem to be incompatible with the various score editors I've tried out...They all ask for "Type 1" Midi files.

Is there a way to convert from Type 0 to Type 1? Or does anyone know of score editing softaware that can handle Type 0 midi files?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
James

Well, electronic tuners convert sounds into pitch data. Its primitive, but it actually functions. I suppose a simple mono file COULD be converted happily into a midi (though like Ethan says, I'd sooner do it manually). Screaming guitar licks simultenously with drum rolls from hell, though... No way any software could notate that.

What kind of wav-to-midi interpreter are you using? I've never heard of any program that can only save Type-0 midis?

Actually, you'd probably be better off manually notating the midi, in any case.
