Samplab Alternative — MIDI Morph 2 · Audio to MIDI + Stem Separation, $39 Once
Samplab is sunsetting Sept 17.
Your workflow doesn't have to.
The Samplab team announced they're moving on: the service stays up for existing users until September 17, 2026, then uploads stop and the app goes offline (yearly subscribers get pro-rated refunds). Respect to them — it's a great tool. If audio-to-MIDI and stem separation are part of how you make music, here's a home for that workflow that can't be turned off: MIDI Morph 2 — a desktop plugin you buy once and own.

Switching in 3 steps
- Before Sept 17: export anything you care about from Samplab — separated stems and MIDI — while uploads still work.
- Install MIDI Morph 2 (VST3/AU/Standalone). Drop any audio in — full songs included — and separate or transcribe locally.
- Go further than transcription: scale-lock the results, morph them into variations, and route the MIDI to any synth in your DAW.
