I have been trying them all out for some time now.
Ones I own that do Audio to Midi:
Rip X DAW
Melodyne 5 - Celemony
Ableton 10 Suite
FL Studio
I have also been using the free ones:
NeuralNote
SampLab
I would say it depends on the program material. The easiest program material to convert would be a monophonic instrument that is solo with no other instruments or background noise. Also the less harmonics and overtones on the instrument make it easier to convert.
As far as monophonic/solo material, they all don't do too bad. The most challenging is music with multiple instruments that is polyphonic material. For this type of material, I say the best performing is Samplab - which is free to use for converting segments under 10 seconds at a time.
But to be honest they are all flawed when it comes to this material.
Rip X is a joke and for something designed just for this task, I am surprised they get away with it. It returns way too many notes to be usable and misses obvious and notes and chords. Here is an example of one conversion -
If you export the midi of any of the instruments: 1) Theres too many nonsensical notes and 2) It misses obvious chords and notes (even after using the filtering function that eliminates what it believes is the lighter notes, it is a terrible rendition). Once in a while you will come across some program material where it does an ok job but not very often.
I'd say the two that stand out as the best for multiple instrument / polyphonic material is: Samplab and Ableton.
Surprisingly, Melodyne did not perform well for this function using both their Polyphonic algorithms. It seems great for monophonic vocal and instruments, even showing you the minute tuning offsets from each note. Its free to try for 30 days.
