Practically any general sequencer program will do this, some from a mic
connected to your sound card, some only from a MIDI synthesizer or
keyboard. Some specific titles which, according to the descriptions I've
read, will do this are Hohner Sound Score, Voyetra MusicWrite (input from
keyboard or external MIDI synth), Music@-----. Also any
scoring program (more expensive) will have a provision for MIDI recording
(although many of them only read the performance from a MIDI device).
Examples: Coda Finale, Voyetra MusicWrite, Wildcat Autoscore, Encore,
Opcode Overture, and MusicWare Nightingale. There are others, but it will
probably come down to price, the platform you want to work from, and what
you can actually see demonstrated (I wouldn't buy any of this software
without seeing it in action first - it tends to be a little pricey to
experiment with very much). There has been discussion here about notation
(scoring) programs (you could search the archives). I don't remember any
recently about straight sequencers, and I don't use one regularly enough to
make an intelligent recommendation.
