I don't know of anything that quite works like this.  You can convert audio
to midi, but that won't include tone quality information...only notes,
tempo, and things like that.

I did some very quick searching around the interwebs and this is one way I
think would work:

Record the music into a DAW as a .WAV or .AIFF file.

Most DAW software will allow you to convert audio to MIDI.  Reaper (which
is free) does this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8D2jEhbN7Y.
Being that the MUSE is monophonic, it should be pretty accurate.  I didn't
watch the video...I'm running around today.. but if you want more help on
this I can help out.

Once it's converted to midi, import it into a tracker that accepts MIDI
files, that would be the easiest solution.  As far as tone quality is
concerned, output from the MUSE a simple pulse/square wave, and that can be
set in the tracker I believe.  (Perhaps tweak filter settings if sound is
too robust and needs to be thinned out) and it should be pretty close.
Save as SID file.

I haven't done the above myself, but it should work.

This obviously isn't a solution for ANY kind of music, but it should work
with what you're trying to do.
