        Music Recognition System (WAV->MID) (version 1.9)

        1.Introduction
  This Programm tries to convert  WAVE file containing a music piece to
MIDI  file containing notes. A sophisticated algorythm is used to recognize
notes in the sound stream. Building such an algorythm is a very difficult
problem, so this Programm is just a step in that direction rather than a
ready Software Product.

        2.Features
  Allows to get 10-track MIDI file (number of voices is also about 10).
All voices are the same - piano, time resolution is 0.007-0.1 s
(default is 0.03 sec), length of WAV is limited by memory space.
WAV formats supported:
  11025, 22050, 44100 Hz; 8,16 bit ; MONO, STEREO;
Compression is not supported.
       
        3.System Requirements
  Processor:         386 (Will work, but very slowly)
  Memory (Physical or at least Virtual): 
    ~40k/second of WAV if time resolution is default.
   (16Mb is enough for not very long compositions)
  Hard Disk:         very little (if not producing GS files)
  Operating system: DOS (Win,Win95,Win98,Win NT is OK)

        4.Usage
  recogn.exe [optional parameter] <file_name>
 Parameter:
   r - generate GS file
       ( GS file is used for storing intermediate results,
         you can possibly convert it to MID by future versions of this Programm
         (if its format does not change).
   w - convert GS file instead of WAV.
 Results are in file <имя_файла>.mid

 There is an INI file (recogn.ini; must be in current directory) which
contains parameter blocksize - you can change it (time resolution is equal
to blocksize/22050 s.).
 Memory space required is reverse proportional to blocksize. 


        5.Comments
 I ask to write me about anything related to this program and your
ideas on improving the algorythm. If you want to participate this project,
write too. New version of The Programm is avaliable at
