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.
- Declares the recording as piano so the AI listens for piano, not guitar.
- Choose the output before converting: guitar tab, ukulele tab, or sheet music.
- Opens in the editor so positions, timing, and voicings can be corrected.
Steps
- 01Upload a piano recording, MP3, audio file, or supported public media link.
- 02Choose Piano or keys as the source, then pick guitar tab, ukulele tab, or sheet music as the output.
- 03Run AI transcription and open the generated tab in the editor.
- 04Check the draft with playback, fix positions and timing, then save or export.
Source quality
- Solo piano recordings convert better than piano buried in a full mix.
- Sparse textures - melody over chords - fit a guitar neck better than dense two-hand playing.
- Pick the output (guitar, ukulele, or sheet music) before you convert.
- A piano can sound more notes at once than six strings can hold, so dense chords are thinned to stay playable.
- Wide two-hand parts may shift octaves to fit the neck; review the draft in the editor.
- AI output is a first draft for cleanup, not a finished arrangement.
