What I'd love to do is use OCR on a bunch of these and be able to freely use the pieces by rendering them with MIDI. There are pieces I want to use in my short films or whatever, but all the recordings are copyrighted even if the music is now public-domain.
- mappu 3y agoA lot goes into a specific recorded performance, I think it's unrealistic to expect a film-worthy performance out of a MIDI renderer.
- bandika 3y agoUnrealistic is an understatement, to be honest...
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoSure, but for little indie projects I think it would suffice. And there are some great string libraries out there.
- dharma1 3y agoWould sound pretty boring OCRd but I wonder if a trained ML model could do a decent job of score -> expressive midi (2.0) performance
- sporkl 3y agoMusic OCR is in general in a pretty terrible state these days (I’ve tried most of the options on the market). I’ve heard good things about soundslice[1] though, but I haven’t had the occasion to try it yet. [1]: https://www.soundslice.com/sheet-music-scanner/ https://www.soundslice.com/sheet-music-scanner/
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoThanks, but ugh: It's Web-based.
- adrianh 3y agoHello, I lead the creation of the Soundslice music scanning tool! My biased opinion is that we get much better results than other tools, even though it's still in beta and doesn't support the full range of notations we aim to support. We're using machine learning instead of old-school image processing techniques (which are fast but can be very brittle).
- ink_13 3y agoYou'd have an easier time grabbing pieces with Lilypond engraving files available and converting those to MIDI: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/creating-midi-output https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/creati...
