Song to Drum MIDI
Turn a song into drum MIDI for your kit or drum rack. Upload MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC, leave drums selected, check the groove on the piano roll, then drop the .mid into your DAW.
Hear the kit, see the drum MIDI
Play the source beside the piano roll. Kick, snare, and hat patterns are easier to trust when you hear the same beat before export.

Reading the MIDI…
Drum MIDI for the kit groove you heard
Drums-only hard mask
This landing opens Audio to MIDI with drums already chosen. MIDI stays on the kit instead of writing melodic instruments into the clip.
Groove for a drum rack — not sheet notation
Download the unquantized .mid for a drum rack or sampler. Kick/snare/hats are usually cleaner than toms and cymbals — plan a remap pass.
No GM channel 10 claim
We do not claim a General MIDI channel 10 kit map. Check hit mapping in your DAW and remap as needed.
When the kit is buried
Isolate drums with Stem Splitter first if the mix is dense, then upload that stem here. Timpani has its own pitched page.
How to turn a song into drum MIDI
From the kit take you have to drum MIDI you can remap.
- 1
Upload up to 10 minutes of audio
MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC — drum stem, break, or mix where the kit is clear. Or pick from My Music.
- 2
Keep drums selected
This page already chooses drums. Add another part only if it should share the MIDI.
- 3
Check the groove on the piano roll
Scrub kick/snare/hat patterns against the recording before export.
- 4
Download .mid and remap in the DAW
Take the transcription MIDI into Ableton, Logic, or FL Studio. Remap hits to your drum rack.
Drum MIDI you can export
When the roll looks right, take the .mid into your drum rack. Drum notation on a staff is the sheet sibling's job.
- 01
MIDI (.mid)
Preferred DAW import — History surfaces the unquantized transcription MIDI first. Drop it into Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, or similar.
- 02
Remap hits into your drum rack
Drop the .mid into Ableton Drum Rack, FL FPC, or any sampler, then remap kicks, snares, and hats to your kit.
Clearer drum audio, cleaner drum MIDI
If the kit is buried under the band, isolate drums first — then convert that stem.
Start from a kit-forward take
A drum stem or upfront break beats a muddy full mix.
Isolate when the mix is busy
Use Stem Splitter for drums, upload the stem here, or leave Auto on if the groove is already obvious.
Remap the kit in your rack
Remap kicks, snares, and hats into Ableton Drum Rack, FL FPC, or your sampler kit.
Beatmakers who needed drum MIDI, not another break pack
“Dusty break became MIDI I could rebuild on my own kit without chopping audio.”
“Hard mask kept the bass out of the drum clip. Groove stayed readable.”
“Dropped the MIDI into Ableton Drum Rack, then I remapped hats. Fast skeleton.”
More instruments as MIDI
Same family first — each page opens Audio to MIDI with that part already selected.
Timpani
Convert a song or MP3 to timpani MIDI online. Capture pitched timp hits as a .mid — keep timpani selected; this is not kit drum MIDI.
Piano
Convert a song or MP3 to piano MIDI online. Upload audio up to 10 minutes, keep acoustic piano selected, and download a .mid for Ableton, Logic, or FL Studio — rewrite and revoice in your DAW.
Electric piano
Convert a song or MP3 to electric piano MIDI online. Capture Rhodes, Wurlitzer, or stage-EP comps as a .mid — keep electric piano selected, then rewrite the voicing in your DAW.
