Omar,

This is nothing new. There are several programs that can convert solo 
instruments to a MIDI file -- note that I said solo. Whenever there is a combo 
the recognition software has an almost impossible job to distinguish which of 
many sounds to consider for conversion and which voice to send it to.

So for standard music it does not work well, as I've found in the past.

Perhaps this new program has more adjustments in it to help distinguish which 
tone or timbre is to be used in the conversion. It would have to know that it 
should only pick an alto sax tone amongst many others like bass, drums, vocal, 
horns, piano, guitar, etc.


You get the point I think. Without adjusting things it would not do a good job 
out of the box. Why not send Rui your sample file and see if he/she can do 
something with it?

  Well, i am adjusting several settings that you find with tab  key.
  Then, i export as midi,  and  check the result.
   with down and up keys  you make  percentage  modifications, plus choose the 
type, etc...

  When you say music file, you mean a wav file or mp3 file?
   works with both, though, works better with Wav files.
   better the source , better the final midi!

  were you able to export as a midi file?
  and, Nothing?


  Rui
