This is *amazing*.
You can take an MP3 and encode it into MIDI. The results are horrifyingly mesmerising. Can you hear the vocal?

I'm driving myself up the wall because I swear I can hear the vocal line but I don't know how that could be if it was truly converted to MIDI. Unless you can replicate speech sounds entirely with mod…

@Edent So this is doing pitch-to-MIDI analysis? I kinda thought this would be a raw data to MIDI thing which would sound very, VERY weird.
