Full mix · free

Turn a whole song into MIDI, free.

Most audio to MIDI tools want one instrument at a time, so a finished song means separating it first, then converting each part, then lining it all up again.

TONIQ's Full mix engine does the whole job in one pass: it pulls the song apart into drums, bass, the vocal and the other instruments, and writes the notes of each, free and at any length: every part in one MIDI file, plus the audio stems. With Pro, each part leaves as its own MIDI track.

Download TONIQ free What the free tier does
A whole song in TONIQ: drums, bass and instruments on their own rows

A song in, every part as MIDI out.

Each example is the finished recording, then the MIDI TONIQ wrote from it, every part played back on its own sound. Demo recordings generated with Google Flow Music.

Full mix: indie

A whole song, pads, plucked guitar and percussion → every part written out as MIDI (drums, bass and instruments), each played on its own sound.

Space plays and stops. Switching jumps back to where you pressed play; drag across the wave to loop one bar.0:00.0

What comes out.

Every part, written out

Drums as a drum part, the bass line, the chords and keys, and the vocal as a melody line, each on its own row. Free, they come out together as one MIDI file; with Pro, each part as its own MIDI track.

A mixer beside the notes

Every part plays on its own sound, with its own level, mute and solo, so you can hear each part's MIDI on its own before you take it out.

Chords stay chords

The instrument parts keep every voice of every chord, with velocity, not just the top line.

The audio stems too

The separated audio of each part drags out as a WAV, free. TONIQ Pro also edits the notes inside it.

From a song to MIDI.

  1. 1

    Drop the song in

    A WAV, MP3, AIFF or FLAC file onto the standalone app, or the song's clip on a track in your DAW. In an ARA 2 host TONIQ reads the clip itself.

  2. 2

    Choose Full mix

    TONIQ suggests it from the sound when it hears a band. It separates the parts first, then writes the notes of each.

  3. 3

    Drag the MIDI out

    All the parts in one MIDI file at your tempo, or, with Pro, each part onto its own MIDI track.

Setup for your DAW: ARA 2 or Capture. How accurate it is: measured on public test recordings.

Song to MIDI: questions.

Can you turn a whole song into MIDI? +
Yes. TONIQ's Full mix engine separates a finished recording into drums, bass, the vocal and the other instruments, then writes the notes of each part. It is free, with no length limit: the free tier exports every part in one MIDI file, and TONIQ Pro exports each part as its own MIDI track.
How can I convert a song to MIDI? +
Drop the song onto TONIQ, choose Full mix, and drag out the MIDI: every part in one file, plus the audio stems. Any length, on your own computer.
Does it get the chords, or only the melody? +
The chords. The instrument parts keep every note of every chord, with velocity. The vocal comes out as a melody line, with its slides and vibrato.
Can I get the separated audio, not just MIDI? +
Yes, free: drag each separated part out as a WAV, or export them all. TONIQ Pro also edits single notes inside them, $129 once, after a 14-day trial.
How accurate is it on a full mix? +
A dense mix is harder than one clean instrument, for any tool. Our published accuracy numbers are for solo piano and guitar; full mixes are not measured there yet. Try it on your song: the free tier has no limit.
Can I use songs I do not own? +
Use recordings you have the right to use. The MIDI TONIQ writes from your own music is yours, commercial work included.
