Hi there:)
 
My Son trys to play a piano piece from Peter Bence:

Here is the Wave and the notes we have already written:

 So I said to help him writing down the notes. Now I've tried 5 different Audio to Midi Programs including Melodyne! 
But they are all writing nonsense. Is this too fast to recognize the notes? So I slowed it down to 50%, but nonsense again.
It is not possible to convert this audio to midi...
 
Perhaps someone knows how to do it?? At the moment I'm writing bar for bar, listen and write,  a.s.o. 
So it will need hours and hours to finish it:(
 
I wrote to Peter Bence for to get a Midifile or the staff, but he didn't answer so far:(
 
Please help a very poor father:)
 
Thanks a lot!!!
 
Bassman.

Do you have Melodyne Editor or above? If so, have you tried opening the wave in polyphonic mode in Melodyne stand alone? From there you can export a MIDI file then import into SONAR, and can be more accurate than drag/drop, but may still require editting.

Try the stand alone Melodyne and see how that works.

Hallo Basseman,

@ Thomas M.
 
I know how to use these programs!! That is not the problem:)
 They don't work with such a difficult material....

Wow your son plays very good
 
I just tried an audio to midi conversion over here of your wave file and I understand where you are coming from .
 
Don't get mad at me for saying this ....
 
Is it possible that your son could just play the song "as well or real close " on a Midi Keyboard while you record a version of the song in SONAR ?
 
Then you guys could work up a midi file from that ....
 
just a thought ,

Savour it! This is likely the last decade in which humans will still be able to do things that the machines can't. 

Yeah okay i'd never worked with any audio to midi conversion i just happen to see this video this morning and thought it might help. If is not so i am sorry another tip i can give you not.
 
All the best Tomas

He can't play it yet, we have to write down the notes before, so he can play the half of the piece, so far as we have written it down.
But if he could play it, we don't need the notes anymore:)
 
I 'm wondering why it doesn't work, i have made a low cut, cause there's a lot of bass in this recording, but doesn't help. Piano Sound is not good to convert from midi I think.

Could it be helpful to use a transient shaper or a gate on the slowed audio to sharpen/separate the transients better. Then the MIDI conversion might work a lot better. I can guess that the slow audio has a lot of weird "inter-key-press"
hums, harmonics, body rumbles of the instrument and what ever. Just guessing.
