translating audio into midi

[hookedonhydro]

I know there are two or three applications that do this, Widi being one that is most popular for the OS X platform so I figured I would see what would happen if I imported a audio file, opened it in the score window and exported as midi. It did what I wanted, but it wasn't that accurate and it wasn't on an complex piece, it was simply a piano playing with an underlying bass riff of one or two notes repeating. Maybe 4 seconds of a sample this was performed on.

 

Any tips or ideas on how this can be done and also sync to tempo of the currently opened project?
