Turns whistling into MIDI
First, you'll want pipenv installed, which is outside the scope of this README. Please refer to the pipenv documentation for details on installing pipenv for your OS.
Once you have pipenv installed, run:
$ pipenv install
To install the dependencies needed (at the moment: scipy, numpy, and midiutils).
Once you have dependencies installed, you can run the main script like so:
$ pipenv run python main.py ~/test.wav
This will run the script against the test.wav file, and it'll create a MIDI file called out.midi in the current working directory.
This MIDI file can be imported into any DAW, such as Logic Pro. With a bit of cleanup (mainly with regards to "noisy notes", notes that don't belong in the main output), you should have what amounts to a note-for-note transcription of what you whistled!
This is a highly experimental work in progress. You might have to adjust certain parameters to get it to work for you, and the result isn't going to be perfect. That said, it's a good approximation from the results I've seen so far.
The idea is to turn this into a mobile app, where I can whistle into my phone and it'll save it to shared storage. For now, though, I give you the script.
