alexanderchen tried the open-source piano transcription model Transkun (Yujia-Yan/Transkun, 484 GitHub stars, MIT licensed) and reports it worked very well, including sustain events. Transkun is an audio-to-MIDI automatic piano transcription system built on neural semi-CRFs, with papers at ISMIR 2024 and NeurIPS 2021, installable via pip3 install transkun. He plans to combine it with Gemini 4 Argon to analyze and visualize his piano playing, tackling left/right hand separation from MIDI + video input.
