Vocals on Mic to trigger note soundings in Sonar?

was hoping to sing (a scale for instance) into a mic midi to Sonar and have it trigger instruments in Sonar

An audio mic cannot transmit midi data. You need a mic that can translate the voice and then transmit it into midi data. I do not think this device exist.
Just use the PRV or manuall trigger you midi instruemnts. Thats how its done anyways

Actually there is something that might work for you. Sonuus makes a hardware box that works as a realtime audio to midi converter. It was designed for guitar but (for a lark) I tried it with voice and it works very well. You'll need either a line matching transformer or a high impedence mic with a quarter inch phono jack to plug into the box, but this is probably the easiest and cheapest way to do what you want. Keep in mind that you will have to sing in-tune for the device to work correctly.

you could sing the parts into Sonar, open them in V-Vocal, and use the pitch-to-MIDI function to generate  MIDI clips

He could if it worked worth a dang. 


There might be 3rd-party pitch-to-MIDI apps that work better.

I've only used pitch-to-MIDI a handful of times, but it worked pretty flawlessly for me.

Thankyou for all the suggestions everyone.  So far the simplest easiest thing I could try that might work for me is what Cryophonik suggested, partly because I will have that equipment any way. I don't want it for real time. I can sing in relative pitch ( I suck), then Instrumentalize it,  transpose it  or whatever, then drop it into a track. I hope. I'm 60 yrs old with arthitis in my hands. I' not trying to be an instrumentalist, nor am I trying to avoid necessary hard work. I'm just looking for the most affordable, effective and efficient  path to take. Something like this could greatly facillitate the creation of music, for me anyway.
