Song to Distorted Guitar MIDI
Turn a song into distorted guitar MIDI you can edit. Upload MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC, leave distorted electric guitar selected, check the riff on the piano roll, then drop the .mid into your DAW — notes for revoicing, not tab.
Hear the riff, see the distorted guitar MIDI
Play the source beside the piano roll. Power-chord stacks are easier to trust when you hear the same beat before export.

Reading the MIDI…
Distorted guitar MIDI for riffs you can revoice
Distorted-electric hard mask
This landing opens Audio to MIDI with distorted electric guitar already chosen. MIDI chases the high-gain line instead of clean DI mush.
Riffs as pitches — rewrite the tone later
Download the unquantized .mid, drop it on any amp sim, and rebuild the riff. No tablature or fretboard promise on this page.
Honest about dense stacks
For the tightest riff MIDI from thick stacks, isolate the rhythm guitar with Stem Splitter first, then convert that stem and revoice in your DAW.
Wrong page for clean or acoustic
Clean leads and acoustic fingerstyle have their own MIDI landings. Use those when the recording is not distorted.
How to turn a song into distorted guitar MIDI
From the riff take you have to note MIDI you can rebuild.
- 1
Upload up to 10 minutes of audio
MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC — a riff stem, power-chord chorus, or mix where the dirt guitar cuts. Or pick from My Music.
- 2
Keep distorted electric guitar selected
This page already chooses that instrument. Add another part only if it should share the MIDI.
- 3
Check the riff on the piano roll
Scrub palm mutes and chord hits against the recording before export.
- 4
Download .mid and rebuild in the DAW
Take the transcription MIDI into Ableton, Logic, or FL Studio. Revoice and quantize there.
Distorted guitar MIDI you can export
When the roll looks right, take the .mid into your DAW. Tab lives on the sheet sibling.
- 01
MIDI (.mid)
Preferred DAW import — unquantized transcription MIDI first from History.
- 02
Revoice riffs on your high-gain stack
Load the .mid on your high-gain stack, then revoice palm-mutes and riff grids for the arrangement.
Clearer distorted-guitar audio, cleaner riff MIDI
If the riff is buried under doubles, isolate it first — then convert that stem.
Start from a riff-forward take
A rhythm stem or upfront dirt guitar beats a full wall of doubles.
Isolate when the mix is busy
Use Stem Splitter for distorted guitar, upload the stem here, or leave Auto on if the riff is already obvious.
Revoice palm-mutes on the stack
Revoice palm-mute grids and riff blocks on your high-gain stack for a tight distorted part.
Producers who needed riff MIDI, not another IR pack
“Chorus riff became MIDI I could drop under a new amp tone without retracking.”
“Hard mask kept the clean track out of the dirt MIDI. Exactly right.”
“Dropped the MIDI into Ableton, then locked the palm-mute grid. Ready to rebuild the riff.”
