Am using Sonar X3 and trying to convert audio to midi.
I am using an audio track from Band in a Box that I transfered in audio to Sonar  X3. When I play this track it works fine.
I want to use one of the Sonar instruments. That is why I want to convert.
 
One of the videos instructing how to do this, uses Melodyne and in the Melodyne screen changes the algorithm from melodic to
polyphonic.
When I follow the procedure I can do everything except that for one reason or other Melodyne does not allow me to go to the
polyphonic tab.
Is there a reason for this?
The person giving the instruction seems to have the same software I am using....Sonar X3.
 
Or is there another way of converting audio to midi.
 
Would appreciate any help.
 
Thank you.
 
Gerry

SONAR only includes Melodyne essential. You would need to upgrade to Melodyne editor or Melodyne studio in order to have access to the polyphonic feature.

The version of melodyne doesn't have the polyphony, I believe. I purchased 4.04 directly from melodyne, and the mono/poly is automatic - melodyne 4 can tell the difference. 
 
I do the following:
 
1- open a synth track  beneath the audio track
2- highlight the audio track and click on the region fx tab - 
3- select melodyne, then choose "create" - it will open automatically
4- make whatever adjustments in the melodyne window
5- go back to track view
6- select and drag the audio track and drag it into the synth track
 
it's a VERY powerful tool. I'm a decent trombonist, and I'll often play a part on the trombone in whatever tempo and the trombone range. Then I'll simply pick the instrument i want to play it, and adjust time, octaves, etc. I can play "Flight of the Bumble Bee in quarter notes, and move it to a flute, go up 2 octaves, and multiply the tempo by 4, and there it is. Cello is my usual move, though!!
