Start here

Welcome to the MemoToMIDI beta. Here’s the quick path from playing something to exporting MIDI.

MemoToMIDI turns a recording of your playing into editable MIDI, right on your iPhone. Play a riff, a melody, a chord part, or hum a line, and the app detects the notes.

Install #

1. Install TestFlight from the App Store.
2. Open the invite link you were sent, or enter your code in TestFlight.
3. Tap Install next to MemoToMIDI, then Open.

You’ll need an iPhone running iOS 17 or later.

Your first transcription #

1. Tap Record and play — or Import an audio file you already have.
2. When you stop, the app transcribes automatically and lays the notes onto a piano roll.
3. Set the Mode: Mono for a single line (melody, bass, lead), Poly for chords.
4. Tidy up on the roll — fix wrong notes, drag, trim.
5. On the Export tab, tap Save MIDI or Share to send the .mid to your DAW.

For the best results #

• One instrument, up close, in a quiet room.
• Play cleanly and deliberately; clear attacks read best.

Tell us what went wrong #

If a take transcribes badly, send a problem report — it bundles the recording’s audio so the issue can be reproduced.
