noteGRABBER
DAW plugin that visualizes notes in audio samples to export MIDI
noteGRABBER is a VST/AU audio plugin created by producer Navie D that visually maps pitch frequencies inside audio samples. Instead of generating messy, automated audio-to-MIDI conversions, it lets producers see dominant notes across the spectrum, select the exact notes they want, and drag them directly into their DAW's piano roll as clean MIDI.
What it's for
- Identify exact chords, basslines, and melodies inside sampled audio
- Extract clean MIDI parts directly into a DAW piano roll via drag-and-drop
- Write matching basslines and counter-melodies around complex polyphonic samples
Features
- Pitch spectrogram visualizing audio frequencies from C0 to C8
- Drag-and-drop MIDI export straight to your DAW's piano roll
- Customizable detection controls including Gain, Range, and Speed
- QuickGrab mode for rapid note detection
- In-plugin audio recording and preview playback
- Offline functionality following one-time online activation
- Broad DAW compatibility across Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Reaper, and others
Pricing
Paid. $69 one-time purchase; 7-day free trial available
