DaveL Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some free midi software I can download to generate sheet music from my Casio Privia PX-120. I have the cables already, but I don't have software. I'm trying to compose, and I improvise alot, so I'm trying to generate sheets of what I play because I don't always remember what I play after I play it. Looking for something easy to setup that won't require new drivers. Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokeyman123 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I've also used something called MuseScore, and an older program called Noteworthy Composer, both are fairly complex to use though. Checking out Scorecloud now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Anvil Studio-among many other features-also has a live notation function which works pretty well. This has a freeware edition or a paid version if you need the extra functions, although it is a completely functioning program without the paid version. Once installed, click on the "view" menu on top of the screen, then select "compose"-select open for a list of sample .mid files in the program, or "new" to start your own. This is a pretty deep program with alot of options which might be more than you wanted. For freeware though, it has many functions although I'm not thrilled with the appearance-is a little odd IMO because it shows more than one function in a split window unless you turn that off, in "options". Defaults to a huge "help" screen underneath whatever part of the program you have opened-mixer, composer, tablature etc. I also use a program called "midi sheet music"..... http://sourceforge.net/projects/midisheetmusic/ Again freeware but does not allow for recording your input-only plays back midi files in standard grand staff notation, but good for studying piano compositions-shows notation with or without letter names, can slow down tempo easily for practicing. Very simple and small program, in case you are interested. I am using it to study classical piano pieces most of which are in the "public domain"-free to use for educational or personal use.
