Generating MIDI sequence from text

Joelle Galloni's icon

Hello!

I am quite new to this and only used MAX to create visuals, but I wanted to do something with Ableton.

I have created various MIDI sequences in ableton live. I want each of these sequences to correspond to a letter, and I want the user to be able to type in a sentence. This sentence should be converted into the corresponding MIDI sequence, combining each MIDI sequence that corresponds to each letter and playing it all in a row.

Is this possible and do you guys have some guidelines on how to get started?

Thanks!

cool idea, it's totally possible, consult the documentation, specifically the Live Object Model

I made this patch a while ago for a friend.

It takes a text file as input and output a midi file (.mid)
