Hey Plugheads! Welcome to the blog! Today, we’re taking a closer look at Neural Note, an impressive audio-to-MIDI converter plugin that’s making waves. With its robust functionality, polyphonic detection, and pitch bend recognition, this tool is perfect for anyone looking to convert audio files to MIDI format — and best of all, it’s completely free!
Why Neural Note?
Neural Note has quickly risen to the top among audio-to-MIDI converters. While it’s not perfect and isn’t always 100% accurate, it stands out as a powerful, easy-to-use, and budget-friendly option. The plugin is compatible with both PC and Mac, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
How to Use Neural Note
Using Neural Note is straightforward:
- Load Neural Note onto Your Audio Track
Simply insert the plugin onto the track you want to convert to MIDI. - Press Record
Hit the record button at the top of the plugin. Alternatively, you can drag and drop audio files in WAV, MP3, or FLAC format into the plugin interface. - Export the MIDI
Once Neural Note has converted the audio, you can drag the generated MIDI out of the plugin onto a new track. Now, you’re free to add your favorite synth and start shaping the sound!
What Sets Neural Note Apart
One of Neural Note’s unique features is its polyphonic detection. Unlike many audio-to-MIDI converters, which can struggle with multiple notes, Neural Note handles chords and complex polyphonic sounds effectively. Plus, it detects pitch bend information, giving you added depth and accuracy in your MIDI conversion.
Pro Tip: Optimizing Neural Note Performance
To get the best results, consider splitting your audio sample into frequency regions — low, mid, and high. This can help Neural Note interpret complex audio more accurately. In my demo, I used this technique, and it really helped the plugin shine. Let’s see how it performs in action!
Final Thoughts
Neural Note may not be perfect, but for a free tool, it packs a punch. With compatibility for both Mac and PC and an impressive range of features, it’s worth adding to your toolkit. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned producer, Neural Note offers a straightforward way to convert audio to MIDI without breaking the bank.

I have downloaded and installed but it does not run
(I’m on Windows 7 64 bit)
Any suggestion ?
Neural Note officially supports Windows 10 and later, so it may not be fully compatible with Windows 7. You could try running it in compatibility mode (Right-click > Properties > Compatibility) or check if your system has all the required dependencies like the latest .NET Framework and Visual C++ Redistributable. However, upgrading to a newer OS might be the best long-term solution. Let me know if you need more help!”
