Title            WaoN - a wave-to-notes transcriber    
Current URL      http://www.kichiki.com/WAON/waon.html

What is WaoN?

WaoN is a Wave-to-Notes transcriber, that is, the inverse of timidity
by Tuukka Toivonen (and its descendants timidity++, and timidity with
Gtk+ ). ("WaoN" also has a meaning of harmony of notes or chord in
Japanese!) My original intention is to pick up voicing of harmony from
sound of my favorite pianists. (I have no talent to do so, but
computer will :-) But there is no functional application of this kind
on Unix platform, as far as I know. So that I start writing WaoN by
myself. WaoN is released under the GNU General Public License.

Features

 * read wav file and write standard MIDI file format 0.
 * stdin/stdout can be used as input/output file.
 * no explicit limits of number of notes at a time or along the time.
 * patch file (wav) can be used.
 * pitch shift.

There are three or four overpriced windows programs available also.
