Awesome, thanks for running the test!

I can't help but feel it is heavily impacted by ambience of the recording as well. The midi is of course a very rigid and literal interpretation of what the model is hearing as pitches over time, but of course it lacks the subtlety of realizing a pitch is sustaining because of an ambient effect, or that the attach is is actually a little bit before the beginning of the pitch, etc.

If it could be enhanced to consider such things, I bet you would get much cleaner, more machine-like midis, which are generally preferable.

Listening to the input and output, the reproduction is like comparing a cat to a picture that resembles a cat, but isn't a cat.

Music's a lot more than a collection of notes ... and the timbre of one piano is about as far away from a mixture of reeds and dulcit electronics as you can get. (The Fulero is very nice.)

How do you get a midi?

You'd have to run it yourself. There's a docker image available but it's a pretty big download (11.7GB)
