I have a couple clients who work from click tracks and prepare for others who need a MIDI track to tie everything.

For kicks, I decided to see what happens when I generate a MIDI track from a click in BasicPitch. Guess what? BasicPitch cannot do this. It generates that there are no melody notes—which is correct. I tried it with simple percussion and beat box patterns that I sometimes get. Same result.

Hopefully, a later version PF BasicPitch will correct this major shortcoming.

I’ve been converting click to MIDI for years and have been using Melodyne Studio so I was just seeing if it could be done more quickly. Now that Digital Performer has integrated Melodyne, I can do that I need in a few seconds. David Das's video in converting Audio to MIDI in DP 11.2 is pretty good.
