The record

Purpose: NeuralNote is an audio plugin for transcribing audio to MIDI in a digital audio workstation.
Multi-instrument transcription: Its MuScriptor model can transcribe full mixes with notes grouped by instrument.
Built-in synth: The plugin includes a multi-instrument synth with per-instrument gain, mute, and solo controls.
Local processing: Transcription runs on the user's CPU or GPU, and audio stays on the user's machine; the app goes online to download models and check for updates.
Audio input: Users can record audio or load WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, and OGG Vorbis files.
MIDI output: Users can drag MIDI from the plugin to a MIDI track or save it as a MIDI file.
Plugin formats: The README describes NeuralNote as a VST3, AU, and standalone AudioFX plugin.
Model choices: MuScriptor models are available in small, medium, and large sizes, trading speed for quality.
Model download sizes: The model downloads are about 210 MB for small, 620 MB for medium, and 2.7 GB for large.
Platform availability: Installers are listed for Apple Silicon macOS and x64 Windows; Linux prebuilt binaries are described as coming soon, with source builds available meanwhile.
GPU support: The plugin uses Metal on macOS and Vulkan on Windows and Linux when a GPU is available, and recommends a GPU for medium and large models.
Security and privacy: The README says transcription is local and audio never leaves the machine; it makes no security certification or compliance claim.
Licensing limit: NeuralNote's code is Apache-2.0, while MuScriptor weights use CC BY-NC 4.0 and may only be used non-commercially.
Support: The project directs users to file bug reports and feature requests as GitHub issues and welcomes pull requests.
