**Stem to MIDI** converts a stem, such as a bassline, melody, or vocal, into MIDI notes. Take the part of a track you like into your DAW as editable notes.

## How to use it

1. Pick your source:
   * Upload or drag in any audio file.
   * Browse your library for a finished stem from any [stem separation](/create/stems).
   * Or open a stem in your library and choose **Convert to MIDI** from its menu. The tool opens with that stem selected.
2. Run it. Each conversion costs **20 credits**.
3. Preview the result with **Show on piano roll**, then click **Download MIDI**.

No stems yet? The tool points you to [Stem Separation](/create/stems) first.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Stem to MIDI or Audio to MIDI?">
    Both turn audio into notes. [Audio to MIDI](/create/audio-to-midi) lets you pick a converter and timing style and is the one to use from a public page without an account. Stem to MIDI is built around your separated stems.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What gives the cleanest result?">
    A single-instrument stem. Isolating the bass or the lead melody first gives far cleaner notes than converting a full mix.
