Hi - I'm new to the forum, so I hope I'm posting in the correct format. (not sure about the "Description:" field)

Does anyone know of a good .wav to .mid converter, preferably free, for windows? It would need to be able to convert micro-tonal wavs accurately.

Thanks, Bill

Thanks for the reference. Like you, I enjoy the real thing...warts and all...but in reading some of the posts, it appears that some people here want a midi file (so they can grow their own warts?)

I was looking for an easy solution. I know the micro-tonal part will be a serious hangup. But some of my files need it.

I think the only reason some people want midi is because some software that syncs animations to music works either exclusively, or best, with midi files.

wav to midi is self defeating for anything except solo instruments.  It has no way of telling what it is "hearing" to separate things.

I use it with voice files of my favorite woman in the universe talking, then add echoes and effects followed by several passes in Amazing Midi getting different instruments and finally combining them all in Audacity  (a free audio editor).

If you want examples, they are horrible - but I use it for soundtracks in my videos so just watch any of those and see/hear what I am talking about  

A little (or lot) too cryptic for me.

found it - thanks. It appears to be a pretty steep learning curve, but looks interesting. If it really does pitch bend translation, it must be a good micro-tonal discriminator in the right circumstances.

Thanks for the pointer.

wav to midi is about like trying to reverse compile a program.  You never get even remotely close to the original source code.
