Innovative Music Systems has announced the release of version 7.1 of intelliScore Ensemble.
IntelliScore Ensemble listens to prerecorded or live music (in WAV, MP3, WMA, or CD format) and creates a multiple-track MIDI (.mid) file containing the notes played, broken down by instrument. The MIDI file, in turn, is suitable for notation, cleanup/editing, and playback.
Version 7.1 adds improved support for Windows Vista and an enhanced help system.“Many have considered multi-instrument conversion to be the ‘holy grail’ of music recognition,” said Joe Kohler, president of Innovative Music Systems. “Now, that quest is finally a reality with intelliScore Ensemble.”
In addition to supporting multiple instruments, the latest intelliScore provides other new helpful features. For example, if the audio recording is a drum track, intelliScore can create a MIDI file to indicate where the beats are. It also now supports WMA (Windows Media Audio) files and the converting of several audio files at the same time.

I bought this program for the live performance mode. It is TOTALLY USELESS for this! Using a 2GHz processor laptop and electric bass as input the MIDI output was a full second behind and very inaccurate. The program just couldn't decide the octave being played.
I use Intelliscore with prerecorded music and it works well for that purpose. Before I started using Intelliscore I had to listen to my old recordings and figure out all the notes and chords I played. This cool program is a big help to get my ideas on paper quicker.
