Real-time audio to MIDI

[snugglepuff]

I know it's a long shot but does anyone know if it will be possible to use Live 9's audio-to-MIDI capabilities in real time? As in control my synths with my friggin' guitar! Because I would really be pleased. Even if somebody knows of a potential workaround to make this dream a reality I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

If a 23 second delay works for you, then yes.

^ that.

i'm thinking major delay too.

maybe i'm forgetting something... i'm not in front of Live right now to check, but the only way i can see that working is if you had some sort of 3rd party software to automate the mouse movements and clicking process. converting audio to MIDI means that you have to right click on a track. you can't map that action to a controller AFAIK... so you'd have to map that action with something else.

Maybe not with the audio to mido feature.
But maybe you could use the envelope follower in Live 9 (Max device) to control certain aspects of a synth by playing your guitar.
I think Tom Cosm did something related (though not live) in his Live 9 beta video.

^ if you use a MIDI guitar... then you could control quite a bit more.

still won't help with opening the context menu and selecting Audio to MIDI options.

Yeah, widi VST does a pretty decent job too, as long as you don't care to preserve expression like bends and vibrato since it only communicates in rigid semitones. Reason does a great job, but can't receive audio as a ReWire slave. Oh well, somebody wake me up in like 50 years when I can just play everything with my mind.

Yeah, that's pretty cool too! The difference as far as I can tell is that widi VST is polyphonic, but can't communicate pitches in between the notes, while the Sonuus devices are monophonic but not limited in terms of pitch. Reason also does this pretty well if you use a lesser known feature of the Neptune pitch-thingy. I'm about to go demo the new midi guitar vst and see if that offers anything new.

I guess what I really wanted to know when I started this thread is if Live 9 would save me any money on this stuff

I must add that only tried the iOs version of midi-guitar. It seems the Win/Mac versions are far more responsive. It seems to get great reviews.
As far as I can judge from reading this forum, Live9 is not going to give us realtime audio2midi... Just my guess.

Control voltage to Midi realtime. I own this guy. It's great.

WIDI Audio To MIDI VST plugin is designed for real-time Audio to MIDI conversion. The plugin receives input from an audio channel and performs real-time music recognition. Resulting MIDI events can be sent to the VST host, System MIDI Out Device or saved as a MIDI file with a simple MIDI recorder. The spectrum window displays streaming spectrogram in real-time with recognized notes above it. Also the plugin recognizes chords and displays chord name at the top of the spectrogram window. It is possible to control the delay of chord indication. Adjustable recognition parameters allow to improve recognition quality.
