Hey all,

I've used V-Vocal to extract monophonic audio to midi but later moved to the much better results of Melodyne (with polyphonic).  

Just been checking out Ableton 9's new feature for this and looks superb.  Could never use Ableton for production but really intrigued with this new feature.  You can beat box and it will convert Kick, Snare, Hats (Frequencies) to midi to be used later in a better Drum program.

Do you guys use something that may achieve such results in SONAR?  

Could the Cake guys match this in a future update?  Its the integration that really appeals...

Audio snap?   You could record your, "beatboxing," slice it up, and convert it to midi..   


Edit = Ableton's might be more, "automatic," but hardly a new idea.

Audiosnap?  Oh yea I completely forgot about its midi feature.  Doh!

No way of it reading frequencies that it would place to another midi note.  Hmmm must experiment with it a little more to see if its not too finicky.

Cheers for suggestion ;> 


edit:   Yes could be very workable  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2eecggyVr0

I've had success bouncing a kick and snare track through two different Sonitus EQs to cut one instrument and boost the other one, then using Audiosnap's threshold slider to pick out what's left on each track, and convert that to MIDI. You do have to assign the correct note number yourself for at least one of them, but that only takes a moment. I'm sure you could get this to work with a beatbox vocal, except the transient location my not be as precise because of the likely softer attack.

This might do the trick, but not sure...

The only acceptable AUDIO to MIDI converter I know of is the device I call, "Between the ears". Especially the polyphonic stuff.
