7Canaries performs automated recognition of polyphonic music, stored in MP1, MP2, MP3, MPP, MPA, AIF, SND, AU, WAVE formats as well as audio CD tracks.7Canaries works in two recognition modes: Offline and Realtime.In Offline mode,source file of one of supported formats is a necessary condition for using the Program. Recognizing pre-recorded music allows converting digital sound to MIDI format. MIDI file takes hundreds times less space than any digital sound format, which allows you to use it as a melody for your web page or make a preview of your mp3 Internet music collection. As MIDI file is, in fact, a layout of music, you can change its arrangement in contrast to digital sound. Instruments, number of voices or melody itself can be easily modified using any third-party score editor, which allows creating remixes, variations and printing musical notation. You may even put the melody in your mobile phone!

Easy correction of recognition errors can be done with the help of VisiNote Editor(tm), which is included in 7Canaries Professional. MIDI file then can be played with Media Player or it can be loaded into a third-party MIDI Editor for note viewing or/and printing. On-fly recognition is a process performed in real-time, without noticeable delay. Detected notes can be either recorded or played in real time, or both. Thus you can change instruments in real-time, for example, play the guitar and get piano sound. 
7Canaries provides four different note detection algorithms. A number of filtering options allows to leave aside odd notes. Monophonic methods provide recognition of one (the loudest) voice in melody but with great accuracy. Polyphonic method transcribes several voices.

7Canaries is a multi functional program, including such functions as recording musical programs, waveform windows, a special notes editor (Professional version only), which is able to perform a visual comparison of the spectrogram of initial musical record and the notes obtained after recognition. 
7Canaries allows you, obtaining simply a waveform, recognize it and then: 
· Change the adaptation, tonal range and mode. 
· Collect previews for mp3 files collections 
· Load the favourite melody into your cell phone 
· Receive a musical notation of a composition for performing it with a musical instrument 
(You may need some other third party software for actual score editing or uploading to cellular phone)
