### 3/5 — Great Potential, Not so great execution

*2025-11-25*

The app is wonderful for $3, however, the forced clapping and pedal no matter the song to register the background BPM or whatever is annoying and there’s no way to delete them all at once, the other issue is when throwing the MIDI file into an app you notice some mistakes but the most noticeable annoying and random pauses in random parts of the song that could just use better AI detection or whatever to figure out the notes, and this is through MP3 files being put in with drum only tracks and all other frequencies removed.

### 5/5 — 改善されました。(落ちますな)

*2025-08-15*

アップデートと使い方を教えていただき今は問題なく動作しています。解析の精度も大変よく上手くmidiデータに変換されます。なかなかいいアプリです。

**Developer response:** 不具合を修正した新しいバージョン3.4をリリースしました。お手数ですがアップグレードお願いします。もしアップグレード後も落ちるようであればお手数ですがinfo@vocalextractor.comまでご連絡いただければ幸いです。

### 1/5 — 落ちる

*2025-06-29*

新規→ファイルで曲を選択しても、「finding onsets」の途中でアプリがクラッシュして使えません。

### 1/5 — 必ず落ちる

*2025-06-11*

iPhone15使用。ロード完了後、セットを読み込む90%付近で必ず落ちます。未だ使えていません。。

### 5/5 — あるようでない！

*2025-05-10*

作曲するにあたってドラムフレーズを参考にしようとなった時にすごく助かります！
ドラムをmidi変換出来るアプリがほぼないのでかなり重宝してます！
あとは他の人も書かれていますが、bpmを事前に設定出来るか、音源から検出機能があればもっと便利になると思いました。

### 4/5 — 買い切りなのはすごく良い

*2024-08-19*

音源抽出系で買い切りなのはとても良いです。
MIDI変換も出来るので買って後悔はしてません。
ただ4分弱のファイルを読み込ませようとすると必ず落ちてしまいます。機能の限界なのか、バグなのか、今後のアプデに期待しております。

**Developer response:** コメントありがとうございます。安定性を向上した新しいアップデート(3.1)をリリースしました。是非試していただければと思います。

### 5/5 — Helped Me Transcribe a Djembe Rhythm

*2024-07-20*

It visualized my djembe recording over a midi sequencer.  That allowed me to assign beats to the notes and transcribe my rhythm.

### 4/5 — これは便利！

*2023-07-09*

組んでるお遊びバンドにドラマーがいないのでいつもポチポチ打ち込んでましたが、このアプリがあれば一瞬で終わります。

アプリ上の音源では上手く採譜できてるか不安になるかもしれませんが、MIDI出力して他の音源で鳴らせば納得できると思います。

さらにひと手間、Demucsなどの音源分離ツールでドラム音源だけ抽出したものをソースとして使用すればかなり精度上がります！

【要望】
大変便利なのですが、出力したMIDIのテンポがデフォで120固定なので調整できるようにして欲しいです。
(DAWで他のMIDI音源と使用するときに調整が必要になるので)
テンポ検出となると大掛かりになるかもなので手入力できればありがたいです！

**Developer response:** 貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。ご要望の件、及び、音源分離ツールによる前処理について、今後のバージョンでの実装を検討させていただきます。

### 5/5 — Bought every app of this developer

*2023-05-05*

Exactly what I need

**Developer response:** Thanks so much!
