Audio to MIDI with Melodyne
I'm using Sonar Pro with Melodyne's Essentials that came with the upgrade. I've watched the videos and tutorials and have been searching the manual, but I thought maybe someone here may know the answer and be able to explain it better. ( As I have found the case to be many times) I'm trying to make some acoustic guitar strumming loops. And I had a light bulb go on over my head as I thought "why not make the loops MIDI?", remembering a mention of this in an earlier listen to the basic Melodyne overview. I created my region FX, opened it up , lassoed the loop and am looking for the command to 'export as MIDI' but for the life of me, I can't find it. Is this not available in Essentials and I need to chunk out the cash for editor, or is it that I have Pro and not Plat, or still yet maybe a mono vs poly thing? Just a simple four bar strum, just looking at possibilities. Any help most humbly appreciated!!

No region FX needed, simply split out an audio section you want and drag it to a MIDI track.

is it possible for something to be too easy? Geesh, Never overlook the obvious I guess, Thanks Mettel!!
Is that the bakers doing that or is Melodyne that integrated into Sonar?

AFAIK it's only the Melodyne ARA integration that is capable of this. Normally installed Melodyne VST isn't? Or...?
I think Studio One was the first one to use ARA.

It came as a surprise to me too when I tried it. I played a passage on a telecaster, dragged it into a DPro track set as wood-bass, added a few more expressions and slides, et voila - Danny Thompson (well, sort-of ...)! The only limitation with the the Melodyne version in Sonar is that it is not polyphonic (I presume - anyone know different?), but I'm not looking for that facility anyway. jdf

Polyphony would be great and I hear talk that it happens in Melodyne Editor, but I'm not savvy enough to be sure of it. Wonderful fun toy for sure. Any body know where Melodyne would like me to set my buffer to 1028 at? (sorry to end in a preposition but kind of unsure how else to ask?) I constantly get the message to reset my buffer to 1028 when Melodyne in deployed and I have done so in various places in 'preferences', just haven't hit the right one yet, I guess. The program continues to work smoothly though.... just curious.

The 1028 buffer message is a bit misleading. I can't remember the exact reason why it pops up but either the Melodyne, or Cakewalk, website had posts saying that it wasn't necessarily correct and to ignore it if your setup was working ok. I use editor quite a bit and sometimes the message pops up, and sometimes it doesn't. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, but it seems to work just fine at various buffer settings (I have tried a few different ones). Maybe someone else can remember the exact reason for this, but if it's working ok for you then I wouldn't be too concerned.

I have tried to used the FULL version of Melodyne to pull off this trick.... it will take polyphonic audio and make polyphonic MIDI files but.... one needs to be a MASTER in melodeon to set the parameters to do this cleanly. There are tons of ghost notes (artifacts from harmonics, and other audio sounds on the track) that I do believe can be filtered out by Melodyne pre the MIDI conversion but I got frustrated and quit before I ever got a useful polyphonic midi track from a pre recorded audio track. Piano was even worse than guitar.

I have found a big difference between dragging a audio file to a midi track, and saving the track as a midi file from Melodyne, and importing back into Sonar. It seems saving as midi from Melodyne gives more accurate results.
