The free trial rule

You can test our conversion apps for free, with no time limit, thanks to a 30-second preview per conversion on all apps.

This preview allows you to quickly check whether the result meets your expectations before converting an entire track.

Free trial vs. subscription (credits)

  • Without a subscription: you can convert 30-second excerpts to test the app.
  • With a subscription: each month, you receive a certain number of credits that allow you to convert entire songs.

Simple rule: 1 credit = 1 entire song converted.

Examples of offers:

  • Solo: 10 full conversions per month (usable on the app of your choice)
  • Galaxy: 100 full conversions per month (usable on all apps)
  • Universe: 300 full conversions per month (usable on all apps) + access to the PianoGo piano learning app

Why is it limited to 30 seconds?

Music conversion (transcription or arrangement) requires a lot of calculation. The 30-second limit allows you to test effectively, without "spending" a full conversion, to:

- check that you have chosen the right mode (Transcription or Arrangement),

- confirm that the selected instruments match your audio,

- evaluate the quality of the rendering (rhythm, notes, playability) before converting the entire song.

In practice, making good use of these 30 seconds avoids most disappointments.

How to choose a truly representative sample

The 30 seconds are only useful if the excerpt resembles the rest of the song and contains the essence of what you want to convert.

Preferably choose a passage:

  • where the main instrument you want to convert is clearly audible,
  • where the music is already “established” (not an empty intro),
  • with little interference (spoken voices, applause, background noise).

Avoid as much as possible:

  • spoken intros (tutorials, YouTube videos with explanations),
  • silences or very quiet passages without instruments,
  • atypical passages (drum breaks alone, sound effects, etc.) that do not reflect the song.

30-second preview vs. full conversion: what changes

The 30-second preview is used to evaluate the result. A full conversion (via a credit) then allows you to retrieve the entire track and, depending on your plan, enjoy additional features, such as:

  • converting beyond 30 seconds (full track),
  • accessing more conversion options (depending on the app),
  • unlimited editing of the score in the built-in editor (if included in your subscription).

The idea is simple: first, try a free 30-second preview. If you like the result, you can then start the full conversion with confidence.

To go further

  • On the complete process: “How it works (import → analysis → selection → conversion → download)”
  • To understand the right choice of mode: “Transcription vs. Arrangement: what's the difference?”
  • To cut a passage precisely: “Transcribe only a passage (beginning/end) and avoid intros/silences”
