Ivory-App

Ivory-App is a specialized AI tool that converts piano audio into sheet music and MIDI files. You upload an MP3, WAV, MP4, or even paste a YouTube link of a piano performance, and the tool generates a transcription. It outputs the results in multiple formats: editable sheet music, a detailed MIDI piano roll, and exportable files like PDF, MusicXML, and standard MIDI. This is designed for musicians who want to capture live performances or learn pieces from recordings without manually notating everything.

The tool works by using an AI model specifically trained for polyphonic piano transcription. It analyzes the audio to identify individual notes, chords, timing, and dynamics. What sets Ivory-App apart is its integrated workspace. You don't just get a static file; you get an interactive player where the sheet music and piano roll are synchronized. You can click on any measure to jump to that point in the audio, loop sections for practice, and see automatic chord detection and hand separation. If the AI makes a mistake, a built-in editor lets you drag, drop, and adjust notes directly in the piano roll before exporting.

This tool is most useful for pianists who record their own compositions and need quick notation, music students analyzing performances, and producers who want to turn piano recordings into MIDI for use in digital audio workstations like Logic Pro or Ableton Live. The free tier lets you test the first 45 seconds of a YouTube video, while paid plans allow for full-length transcriptions. It simplifies a traditionally tedious process, turning hours of manual work into a task that takes minutes.
