Off topic: audio to midi conversion

Can anyone recommend an audio-to-midi converter for the Mac (preferably
under OS X)? If there is a Windows product that is significantly better than
what's available for the Mac, I'd be interested in that also.

Thanks,

Stan

Maybe Manuel can answer this? (he seems to know a lot about Macs...)

Seems like a lot of people have had moderately good success with Audio Compositor (Gene Ward Smith is the current guru for this app):

http://audiocompositor.home.att.net

There is also WaveMaker III:

...though I can't say how well it does microtonal translations from midi.

If anybody has any other hints, please pass them along.

Cheers,
Jon

That's midi-to-audio.

The obvious answer would be the Mac version of Timidity, though how
well it works I have no idea.

Unfortunately, it does not completely support MTS. If you can manage
with pitch bending, or if you merely want to use MTS to retune 12
notes to the octave, it is fine. The high quality setting can be very
slow, but the results are better than Timidity when it finally
finishes. The lower presets are not very good.

The creator seems to be an obnoxious nutjob, so asking questions is a
bit difficult. I've tried twice now, but I gave it up.
