When uploading a file to PianoConvert, you can now choose between two types of audio content:
• A solo piano track, containing only the piano (recommended)
• A multi-instrument track, which includes a piano along with other instruments
If you choose the multi-instrument option, PianoConvert will automatically isolate the piano part using a high-quality instrument separation system, then transcribe only the piano notes into sheet music (PDF, MIDI, MusicXML). This ensures that all other instruments in the mix are ignored, so you get clean and focused piano sheet music.
1) 🎹 Solo piano track
Select this option if your audio contains only piano, 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 solo piano recordings
• Piano-only covers
• Any audio with clear, clean piano and nothing else

2) 🎼 Multi-instrument track (including piano)
Select this option if your audio includes several instruments, but you’re only interested in transcribing the piano part.
In this case, PianoConvert will isolate and extract only the piano notes, ignoring all other instruments in the track. The resulting files will contain the piano part only, in PDF, MIDI, and MusicXML formats.
Recommended examples:
• Pop songs with vocals and piano
• Orchestral or band arrangements with piano
• Jazz trios or multi-instrument compositions including piano
