What is PureMIDI?

PureMIDI is an AI tool that turns recorded audio into an editable MIDI draft in your browser. PureMIDI converts uploaded audio into an editable .mid draft, with a cheap single melody mode and a multi track full song mode. Browser based, DAW agnostic, best on clean pitched material.

PureMIDI is a browser based audio to MIDI converter. It accepts an MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WEBM or AAC file up to 25MB, analyzes the notes, and returns a standard .mid draft carrying detected pitch, note timing and velocity. The result is meant to be pulled into a DAW for arrangement and sound design, not treated as a finished transcription. Everything runs on PureMIDI servers, so no plugin install and no specific DAW are required. The tool separates two jobs. One melody or instrument mode costs a single credit and is built for a solo vocal line, a guitar riff, a bass part or any monophonic phrase, returning a single track. Full song or multiple instruments mode costs between 6 and 15 credits depending on length and produces a multi track draft with melody, bass, chord and drum parts pulled from a mix. Choosing the wrong mode is the most common way to waste credits, so the site includes a comparison of the two. In practice the workflow is upload, choose the mode, preview, then download the .mid and quantize or fix velocities in your DAW. PureMIDI also hosts a browser piano roll editor for cleanup before export, and a MIDI to sheet music path for notation. Instrument specific pages cover guitar, piano, Logic Pro, Ableton, MP3, WAV, video and YouTube workflows. A free account gives a 30 second preview of any conversion, which is a sensible way to judge accuracy on a specific recording before buying credits. Accuracy is the honest constraint. Clean monophonic material converts best. Dense mixes, heavy reverb, compression and drum heavy audio degrade detection, and the site says so directly. Built in DAW tools are faster for a clip already sitting in a session, so PureMIDI earns its place on polyphonic material, multi track output from one upload, or work done without a DAW installed. The studio and education use cases hold up; anything expecting a perfect chart from a noisy live recording will not.

How do you use PureMIDI?

  1. 1Create a free account and open the converter
    Sign up free to unlock the 30 second preview, then open the audio to MIDI converter page in your browser.
  2. 2Pick the audio type and upload a file
    Choose one melody or instrument for a solo line, or full song for a mix. Upload an MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WEBM or AAC file up to 25MB, or record in the browser.
  3. 3Check the preview against the source
    Play the returned MIDI next to the original. If a full mix comes back messy, isolate a single clear part and convert that in one melody mode instead.
  4. 4Download the .mid and clean it up
    Download the draft, or open it in the browser piano roll to quantize timing and adjust velocities before importing into your DAW.
  5. 5Follow your DAW specific workflow
    Logic Pro and Ableton users can follow the dedicated pages for the bounce, upload and drag back loop that suits their session.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Clean two mode design: 1 credit for a single melodic line, 6 to 15 for a multi track full song draftAI
  • Standard .mid output opens in Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper and GarageBand without pluginsAI
  • Free account preview of 30 seconds lets you test accuracy on your own recording before spending creditsAI
  • Browser piano roll editor for quantizing and fixing velocities before the file ever reaches your DAWAI
  • Clear retention policy: files are cleared after 3 days on success, and uploads are not used for model trainingAI

Cons

  • 25MB cap per file (roughly 5 to 10 minutes) and conversion is one file at a time, with no batch optionAI
  • Dense mixes, reverb and noisy recordings need a cleanup pass or an isolated stem to be usableAI
  • Built in DAW tools like Logic Flex Pitch are faster for monophonic clips already inside a sessionAI
  • Credit cost for full song mode scales with length, so long mixes get expensive quicklyAI
  • No official YouTube download; the YouTube page only previews a link and still requires authorized audioAI
