MIDI Conversion to Musical Notation

Abstract

Nowadays, music has become an integral part of human life. People live with music surrounding them. Almost everywhere in the world there is music playing. Playing music is no longer the work of musician only, as all humans like music. Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) was created to help people play numerous musical instruments alone and to help musicians enrich their music. As the development of music, people can only rely on hearing to know how to play/sing a song. However, not everybody is a capable singer. If the singer sing a wrong pitch, everybody learning from him will be false as well. To solve this problem, musical notation is needed. It is the same with MIDI. People cannot reproduce a song in MIDI if they do not know the chords to play it. Thus, musical notation is the solution. Converting MIDI file into musical notation is the goal of this project. The musical notation produced will help people who want to learn a certain song contained in a MIDI file which can be found across the internet for free or for a small fee.
