Most of this computer-based music uses a digital standard called MIDI (pronounced “MID-ee”).
Basic Pitch is not your average MIDI converterįor the past 40 years, musicians have been using computers to compose, produce, and perform music, everywhere from bedrooms to concert halls. It was built for artists and producers who want an easy way to turn their recorded ideas into MIDI, a standard for representing notes used in digital music production. Unlike similar ML models, Basic Pitch is not only versatile and accurate, but also fast and computationally lightweight. Drop a recording of almost any instrument, including your voice, then get back a MIDI version, just like that. Basic Pitch uses machine learning to transcribe the musical notes in a recording.
