I know it's hard, if not impossible for polyphonic music, but I'd appreciate pointers to research in this direction.

I don't understand what you are getting at.

Can you rephrase the question?

Too concise. Sorry.

"Given a sound file of some instruments playing, to what extent is it possible to recognize the pitches and the rhythm, and convert it to Midi or some notation? For monophonic sound this should be possible, but for polyphonic it's probably very hard. Is there software that does anything in this direction? I'd appreciate pointers to research in this area."

hmm there is software that try's to do that! Does it work well? Not really, but for small snippets it works ok, with a few user modifications....

Darn I forget the name of the software that does it! If no1 posts it in a day or two, Ill look into it for ya! I know you can surf the web and find out...

http://www.lateralsol.com/ had a pretty cool software MIDI guitar device. Simply plug in the guitar, put this software on, and it would trigger synths on MIDI channels. And, I think it recorded .MID files as well? It's 'demo' state is good for mono notes and some chords. But apparently when you buy it, it really improves detection.

Like MDM says, not the 'best' - but certainly NOT BAD!

Sound => {Midi, Notation}
