Re: PGN (Chess) to MIDI

[zentara]

take a WAV file and convert it into MIDI

The best one I found, and "play with" is TS-Audio-to-Midi. It is a pay-for windows program, and it works under wine. It will convert a monophonic(1 instrument) wav pretty well, and you can "whistle a tune" and assign the track to a instrument.

Otherwise, you get ALOT of tiny sound artifacts, which you need to manually cleanup. The artifacts are generated by the complex wave interactions between the different instruments.

But, if you can get "studio tracks" for a recording, where the different players all have a separate track, you could quite effectively convert each track separately, then combine them into a quality midi.
