You know what i find funny…
I was attempting to look for a quick wav-pack containing full key piano samples and i first stumbled upon this site containing the vocal dopefish used and i stumbled upon a audio to midi converter here: http://www.akoff.com/music-composer.html
Using MidiYoketo route the midi signals to Renoise and then picking some nice VSTI to play the translated sequence…
i just did some experimenting with this, i tried WIDI, INST2MIDI, Akoff & TS-Audio.
out of the 4 TS-Audio works the best, it seems to actually do harmonic conversion instead of pitch tracking.
it seems with the pitch tracking method, you get a considerable delay, i think what they are doing is going by zero crossings, so it isnt too quick.
with harmonic translation like in TS-Audio you can have multiple freq’s/notes and it sounds good!
i was just playing some chords on my bass guitar an they were translated reasonably fast. i actually got the chord i was playing on my bass guitar into albino! tho i think i will have to look at my sample buffers, because i noticed alot of clipping when losely playing chords,
lots of harmonics = lots of resources being called.
it is acurate enough to do a slides on the fretboard, it sounds just like running your fingers over piano keys.
10 years! ive waited for something that works good enough to use realtime!
