Organ-only or multi-instrument track? Choose the right option during import

Discover how to get the best transcription based on the type of your audio file.

When uploading a file to OrganConvert, you can now choose between two types of audio content:

• A solo organ track, containing only the organ (recommended)

• A multi-instrument track, which includes an organ along with other instruments

If you choose the multi-instrument option, OrganConvert will automatically isolate the organ part using a high-quality instrument separation system, then transcribe only the organ notes into sheet music (PDF, MIDI, MusicXML). This ensures that all other instruments in the mix are ignored, so you get clean and focused organ sheet music.

1. 🎹 Solo organ track

Select this option if your audio contains only organ, with no vocals or other instruments.

This is the ideal choice to obtain a high-quality transcription. Your file will be processed and transformed into sheet music available in PDF, MIDI, and MusicXML formats.

Recommended examples:

• Classical pipe organ solo performances

• Hammond or jazz organ recordings

• Any audio with a clear, isolated organ track

Tip: Avoid using recordings with background noise, poor audio quality, or spoken instructions over the music.

2. 🎼 Multi-instrument track (including organ)

Select this option if your audio includes several instruments, but you’re only interested in transcribing the organ part.

In this case, OrganConvert will isolate and extract only the organ notes, ignoring all other instruments in the track. The resulting files will contain the organ part only, in PDF, MIDI, and MusicXML formats.

Recommended examples:

• Pop, gospel, or funk songs featuring organ

• Band or ensemble recordings including an organ

• Multi-instrument compositions with an organ solo or accompaniment

What should I choose?

Type of track	Select this option
Solo organ recording	✅ Solo organ
Pop song with organ and vocals	✅ Multi-instrument
Jazz trio (organ, bass, drums)	✅ Multi-instrument
Organ tutorial with spoken instructions	❌ Not recommended
Electronic track with layered instruments	✅ Multi-instrument

How it works

When you upload your audio (MP3, WAV) or paste a YouTube link, you’ll be asked to choose between “Solo Organ” or “Multi-instrument with Organ”.

Select the option that best matches your track, and we’ll take care of the rest.
