Saturalabs / Music & instruments
AI piano extractor. Hear the keys more clearly.
Try separating a piano performance from vocals and other instruments. Keep the piano for focused listening, or keep the remaining mix to practice your own accompaniment.

A focused approach
A piano part spans more than one frequency range
Piano can share its low notes with bass and its bright attacks with guitars, percussion, and vocals. Turning down a frequency band changes all those sounds together. Piano extraction instead attempts to separate the instrument you describe from the surrounding arrangement.
For an acoustic performance, start with ‘The acoustic piano.’ If the source is an electric piano, name that instead. Isolated sound is the track to audition for the requested keys. Background audio is the remaining mix, which you can check as a piano-reduced backing. The output is audio, not a transcription of the notes.
From mix to source
How to use the piano extractor
Choose the clearest available mix
Upload an MP3, WAV, MP4, or MOV file up to 50 MiB (52.43 MB). Keep the original so you can compare quieter notes and decide whether the extracted piano is useful.
Describe the keyboard source
Try ‘The acoustic piano’ or ‘The electric piano.’ If the recording contains a synthesizer pad as well, avoid a broad prompt like ‘all keyboards’ when your goal is specifically piano.
Review chords and note tails
Listen to Isolated sound during both sparse and busy sections. Check the initial attack of notes and the sustain after a chord, particularly where other instruments enter.
Use the audio for listening or practice
Download the chosen WAV when the result meets your needs. Learn from the isolated piano, or play with the remaining mix after checking for leftover notes and changes to other instruments.
Be specific about the sound
A prompt for the result you want
Describe the source, then choose the output that matches your goal. These are starting points to try with your own recording.
| Your goal | Try this prompt | Keep this track |
|---|---|---|
| Hear an acoustic pianoA focused starting point for a recognizable acoustic piano in the mix. | The acoustic piano | Isolated sound |
| Extract electric pianoMatch the audible instrument instead of requesting every keyboard sound. | The electric piano | Isolated sound |
| Make a piano practice backingCheck that vocals, bass, and drums remain usable with the piano reduced. | The acoustic piano | Background audio |
Made for a real next step
Put the separated audio to work
Study an accompaniment
Focus on rhythmic placement, register, and how a player supports the singer. Check voicings against the original when separation makes an inner note uncertain.
Hear a melodic piano line
Try bringing a piano phrase forward from a fuller arrangement. Listen for artifacts before assuming every audible note belongs to the pianist.
Practice with a piano-reduced mix
Keep the remaining audio and add your own performance. Evaluate whether sustained piano remnants distract from the accompaniment you want to play.
Listen before you commit
Three checks worth making
Compare a quiet passage and a busy passage with the original, at a similar listening level.
Chord detail
Compare middle notes as well as the melody and bass. A chord can sound recognizable even when some internal detail is missing.
Pedal and room decay
Listen through sustained passages. Reverb and pedal resonance can overlap other sources and sound different after separation.
Percussive attacks
Check whether drum or guitar transients are entering the piano track, especially when instruments strike on the same beat.
Know the limits
An extracted piano track is a listening aid
Dense arrangements, layered keyboards, and long reverberation can limit a clean piano extraction. Some notes may lose body, while other instruments may bleed through. The estimated track should be checked against the original before it is used in a production.
Piano isolation does not automatically create MIDI, sheet music, or chord charts. It also does not separate the left and right hands into guaranteed individual tracks. For exact editing, original piano recordings or production stems remain the more controlled source.
Can I isolate piano from a song online?
Yes. Upload a supported file and describe the piano source. Review Isolated sound for the piano, then compare it with the original to judge bleed, missing notes, and tonal changes.
Can I remove piano to practice the part myself?
You can try targeting the piano and keeping Background audio. Check sustained passages for remnants and make sure other parts of the song remain suitable for your practice.
Does the output include MIDI or sheet music?
No. The result is separated audio. Downloadable isolated and background tracks are WAV; the tool does not transcribe piano into notation or MIDI.
Can I extract an electric piano?
You can try describing ‘The electric piano’ as the target. Layered keyboard sounds or instruments with similar timbres can still be difficult to distinguish, so audition several sections.
Can I separate the left and right hand?
Saturalabs is not a dedicated hand-separation tool. A piano prompt requests the audible piano source as a whole. Individual hands in a mixed recording are not guaranteed to be separately recoverable.
