Use when the user has played bass or another single-note instrument (or sung a line) and wants the take as a MIDI file, an Ableton Live clip, or a tab/chart.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Bass Transcribe — played take → MIDI / Live clip / chart
Default for bass is the offline **pyin** pipeline. For vocals and expressive leads (sax,
synth lead) switch to **CREPE** (§2b). For in-Live plugin options (NeuralNote, Jam Origin)
read `references/realtime-options.md`.
**Why pyin, not CREPE, for bass:** in a side-by-side A/B in Live on a separated bass stem,
the CREPE line was rejected by ear ("CREPE is not for bass") — it over-segments a
slow-moving line into spurious adjacent notes. Published evidence agrees: pYIN beats CREPE
on bass lines because CREPE's training set has almost no sub-bass examples (Araz, ISMIR
2021 LBD), and no public pitch benchmark covers the bass register. pyin is also ~30×
faster. On vocals the same A/B went the other way — CREPE caught quiet, legato notes pyin
dropped.
## 1. Get the audio
- **User points at a file** — wav/mp3/aiff of the take. Mono preferred; DI cleaner than mic.
- **Record in Live** — audio track, arm, record the take. MCP **cannot export audio**:
the user does File → Export, or point at the raw recording under the Set's
`Samples/Recorded/` folder.

How to install
mdr add peripan/music-workflow-skills/bass-transcribe@sha256:302ddfc49926d8c8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.0bb04d3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
