The MIDI Transcription Thread

[Manakin Skywalker 4,889]

I thought that a thread dedicated to MIDI transcribing would be an interesting contrast to the Composer's Thread. Feel free to share your own custom MIDI transcriptions, either based on sheet music or transcribed by ear!

 

Here's one that I just finished. "The Suit" by Danny Elfman from Men in Black, transcribed by ear:

I think this is a really nice thread idea. Speaking of which… has anyone ever considered transcribing the three published Home Alone carols? Not arranging, but a literal transcription.

Sounds like a lot of my old compositions but much much worse.

 

I love MIDI soundfonts, the compositions are very intelligible and crisp.

I don't see the point of doing that when you can purchase it quite cheaply.

Ah, sorry: because then I could read the sheet music too  .

During my teenage years and my early 20s I did a lot of transcriptions (all by ear, since to this day I can't really read notation). Sometimes after seeing a movie or hearing a theme I just had to rebuild it in MIDI, just to listen to it in isolation. So here's just a dump of the stuff I did... some of it "finished", most of it not. Keep in mind that I'm no musician, so it's all just amateur stuff (and some of it is over 20 years old):

Sounds like the beginning of Alien.
