MIDI to Ukulele Tab
MIDI gives Tabtify exact notes to work from. Upload a melody or arrangement MIDI and it maps the part onto a standard-tuned ukulele, handling notes that fall outside the uke's range.

Converter notes
From source to editable tab
These notes are here for setup context. The main workflow starts above in the converter, then continues in the editor.
- Exact MIDI pitch maps cleanly to GCEA ukulele - no audio guesswork.
- Out-of-range notes are transposed to fit the ukulele instead of failing.
- Great for melody MIDIs, lead sheets, and simple arrangement exports.
Steps
- 01Export or locate the ukulele or melody MIDI file.
- 02Upload it in the MIDI tab and select ukulele and tuning.
- 03Run the conversion and open the tab in the editor.
- 04Adjust voicings and octaves for playability, then save or export.
Source quality
- Keep the ukulele part on its own MIDI track so other instruments don't blend in.
- Melody and simple two-voice parts map more cleanly than dense chords.
- Clean up MIDI timing beforehand if you want tidy rhythm in the tab.
- Notes well outside the ukulele range are transposed, which can change octaves.
- Dense multi-voice MIDI may need voicing cleanup for a playable uke part.
- MIDI has no strumming or fingering data; you refine those in the editor.
