Basic Pitch

Basic Pitch is an open-source audio-to-MIDI converter developed by Spotify. This tool enables musicians, producers, and audio engineers to transform audio recordings into MIDI files, which can then be edited and manipulated in digital audio workstations.

Key features:
- Audio Conversion: Transforms audio recordings into MIDI format for further editing and refinement.
- Web-based Interface: Offers a user-friendly, accessible platform without requiring complex installations.
- Pitch and Timing Analysis: Detects pitch bends and timing information from input audio for accurate MIDI conversion.
- Multiple Input Options: Supports direct recording through computer microphones or uploading of existing audio files (.wav, .mp3, etc.).
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for creating MIDI drafts of performances or experimenting with different sounds and arrangements.

How it works:
1. Record audio directly through the computer or upload an existing audio file.
2. The software analyzes the audio input for pitch and timing.
3. The tool converts the analyzed audio into a MIDI file.
4. Users can download the generated MIDI file for further editing in their preferred digital audio workstation.

Integrations:
As an open-source project, Basic Pitch has potential for integration with various music production and editing software tools.

Use of AI:
Basic Pitch utilizes generative artificial intelligence to analyze and convert audio recordings to MIDI format.

Target users:
- Individual musicians
- Music producers
- Audio engineers
- Developers and tech enthusiasts interested in contributing to the project or integrating it into other applications

How to access:
Basic Pitch is available as a web application, making it accessible across different operating systems and devices.
