gamuso

Hallo, I'm very surprised that I can't find something ready and simple to convert a live signal from an instrument to midi, I checked m4l, max, pluggins.... There are a lot of apps for iphone or ipad that make a great job, how is it possible that there's nothing for mac?

Hi Gamuso, maybe there is no ready made product, yet, because everyone uses his/her own way. I'd recommend fiddle~ newly ported to 64 Bit by Volker Böhm.

Also there: sigmund~ (more precise, but more CPU, too) and bonk~ (for percussive sounds).

In M4L it's not possible to have a device with audio input producing MIDI notes. Instead you can analyse the signal there and use OSC or Max send/receive to communicate with a Max MIDI device and send the MIDI notes from there.

the IRCAMAX 2 Pack should do it. IM-Ianalyzer IM-NoteTracker

Thanks guys, I'm already trying with fiddle~ and those, but it's really weird there's nothing out there readymade... I love to expend hours with my max patches, but these days I'm preparing a concert, and can't afford hours and hours in front of the screen.

IRCAMAX2 looks good... but 150€ seems too much just for a device I need, also if I can't test before...

It seems Max 7 made everything much easier,

But I still don't understand this total lack of information... I've spent around 3 hours trying to find this, and it happened by luck.

Pitch to MIDI? Nothing reliable out there?
