SDIF data to MIDI data

Sabina's icon

Hello Everyone

I am wondering if there is a way in Max/Msp to convert SDIF file dta into MIDI data.

If not, I wonder what about other solutions.
Thank you. Sabina.

depends on how accurate you want it to be. Midi doesn't really have enough throughput (I think that's the word I want) to describe an entire SDIF file. You could translate one line at a time maybe.

To start, try going into spear and saving the file as text.

There are some "Spectral Tutorials" that are part of the CNMAT Downloads:

They can help show how to use SDIF data in max. Nothing about MIDI, but some useful tips about SDIF in general.
