LMMS wav to midi to MuseScore?

Post by globetrotterdk »

I have exported the drum track from my LMMS project, but for some reason LMMS didn't seem capable of exporting it as a .mid file. So now, I am sitting here with a .wav file and wondering how I can convert it to .mid so I can import it into MuseScore, to work on the scoring of the drums. Any ideas? I have been searching both the forum and the internet in general. Seems like a lot of people want to convert midi to wav, but not so much interest the other way...

Generally speaking, converting from .wav to MIDI isn't practical to do. It would be like trying to list the specific ingredients and amounts that went into a Purée just by looking at the final product.

I've not used either of LMMS or MuseScore, but a casual search turned up this tutorial of using LMMS from within MuseScore which might suit your needs: https://musescore.org/en/node/25785

Converting wav to midi is something like converting bread to flour. Not doable by simple means, and even with more complex methods, results are less than optimal.

Unfortunately LMMS does not yet have midi export, but it looks like they are near: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/pull/3114
