This allows users to mute the sounds they want to, leaving only the desired sounds.

Music Analysis

Estimates tempo (BPM) and beat position from a sound file, and analyzes the structure of a song based on note names (C, D, E, etc.) and other feature data.
Based on the results of this analysis, this function deduces chord progressions and determines structural elements such as the introduction, melody A, melody B, chorus, etc.

Piano Audio to MIDI

Extracts the notes played in an audio recording of a piano performance and converts them into digital performance information (MIDI).

MIDI to Score

Converts digital performance information (MIDI) into a music score data format (MusicXML) that can be printed, edited and viewed as standard notation.

Score Level Arrangement

Analyzes music score data (MusicXML) and intelligently creates a variety of arrangements for a range of skill levels, from simplified versions for beginners to advanced scores for performers.

Audio to Multitrack MIDI Conversion

Convert audio files to multi-track MIDI for each instrument in the music, such as vocals, guitar, bass, etc.
By analyzing the tune and musical structure of the entire song, the MIDI becomes more similar to the original song.

Piano Arranged Music Generation

Converts audio files to piano arranged MIDI.
Analyzes and estimates the overall sound of any genre of music (pop, rock, R&B, etc.) and creates a melody and accompaniment suitable for piano performance.
