CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although it accomplishes its task, Wav-2-Midi seems like more trouble that it's worth. After loading a WAV file, you can change its velocity and sensitivity, and convert it into a MIDI file. However it's very limited in you can't specify the output location. There is a good tutorial, which provides some in-depth explanation of the program's functions, and you can change the skin of the program, giving you aesthetic options. However, we found the installation iffy, with error messages complaining about missing DLL files in some situations. It also wanted a reboot after installation, something we wouldn't expect from a program of this nature. Finally, its trial restriction is very stingy, only letting you convert 10 seconds of a file, which is hardly enough to evaluate the output. Because of the installation problems, stingy trial, and generally limited functionality of this program, we don't expect many people to find it useful.Publisher's description
From Naked Note :Wav-2-Midi is a stand-alone application that converts a WAVfile containing audio of a guitar playing, to a MIDI file with the same information. This version of Wav-2-Midi is capable of monotonic note detection, as well as an auto-velocity detection feature, (which can be turned off, if the user wishes). Also, the sensitivity of the note-detection algorithm is adjustable, allowing you to configure the conversion to your own playing style. The appearance of the application is also user-specific, allowing you to adjust the colors and appearance of all text and buttons. Other options for display incorporate skins you can make yourself to adjust the application to look the way you want. It also includes a WAV Editor for playing and recording WAV files, as well as a MIDI File Player for listening to the MIDI files produced by the conversion.
CNET Editor's Note: Conversions are limited to ten-second WAV files in the unregistered version.

Version: Wav-2-Midi 1.0
"Too bad it updated the sound twice on the 10 sek time :-("
Summary: Thought it would work, but i just got two or three tones out of the song.... Dont bother to download and install it.

Version: Wav-2-Midi 1.0
"too limited but could have potential"
Pros: Looks like it could be useful if files were prepared in advance, have to be mono 8khz, other programs read mp3 etc
Cons: Needs mfcans32.dll on win XP , it is easily available but should have been included
Too limited - 10 seconds is not enough to try it properly- "Registering will allow you to convert wav files of any length"
