Preserve velocity, not just the notes
Get piano MIDI that preserves note velocities, from soft passages to strong accents. Change the piano sound in your DAW while keeping your performance's dynamics.
Capture the whole piano part
Transkun is a model for expressive piano transcription. It returns one acoustic-piano MIDI track, including simultaneous notes and pedal controls.
Melodies and chords
Transcribe both hands, chord voicings and overlapping notes. Polyphonic transcription captures several notes played at once.
Note timing and duration
Keep detected note starts and releases. Leave quantization off for expressive timing, or enable a note grid in Studio when you need tighter timing.
Pedal information
Export detected pedal controls with the notes. Use a piano instrument that responds to MIDI pedal messages to hear their effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use piano-to-MIDI transcription for a multi-instrument mix?
Use Transkun for solo piano. For a recording with vocals, drums, bass, guitar or other instruments playing together, choose MuScriptor. It is designed for multi-instrument music transcription and produces instrument parts rather than treating the whole song as piano.
Try MuScriptor for multi-instrument mixes with the audio-to-MIDI pipeline. Import your song, split and transcribe the instrument stems, then preview and download the MIDI in Studio.
Only need the piano part from a full song? Isolate a piano stem before using piano-to-MIDI transcription with Transkun. Other instruments or separation artifacts can cause extra or missing notes.
Can I turn a piano recording into sheet music?
To turn a piano recording into sheet music, first transcribe the audio with the piano-to-MIDI tool. Upload a solo piano recording or paste a supported recording link, run Piano to MIDI with Transkun V2 in Studio, then download the MIDI file. Import that file into notation software such as MuseScore. The transcription contains detected notes, timing, velocities and pedal controls; it does not export a finished sheet music PDF. Review note errors, rhythmic notation, hand assignment and score layout in your notation editor before printing or sharing.
Why does a piano-to-MIDI transcription have extra or missing notes?
A piano-to-MIDI transcription can contain extra or missing notes when background instruments, heavy reverb, noise or a quiet piano part make pitches difficult to distinguish. Transkun is designed for piano, so use a clean solo piano recording in the piano-to-MIDI transcriber. Compare the MIDI playback with the original and correct note errors in your DAW. If the recording contains several instruments, use MuScriptor for multi-instrument transcription or isolate a piano stem before running Transkun. Stem separation can help, but remaining bleed and separation artifacts can still affect the notes.
