Tools for guitar to midi...

[keefbaker]

Hi, are there any tools in Live (or max for live) to examine an audio part like a guitar part and turn it into midi information?

If there are a number of them, any idea as to which is the most accurate method?

Thanks guys!

Listen and manual entering ?
I've no idea but they used to make a midi pick up thingy. Its old and probably cheap on ebay these days

I meant my own playing, so I know what the notes will be. I was just wondering if there was a fairly accurate way to get my own character as a player into a track without shelling out for one of those roland midi pickups.

I mean, Melodyne with it's DNA etc can certainly do it but I was wondering if there was something built in or made in MAX before I spend money on hardware or software.

I use melodyne its fairly accurate but not real time
Check out the Graph tech Ghost system

the midi pickup stuff is incredibly fun and totally worth the money.

there's some user up in here who loves the Roland VG99 IIRC or a similar product.

Does this thing do a better job tracking than their B2M and G2M boxes?
By the first few review hits I get, it sounds like it. Fingers crossed, 'cos that would be cool...

It looks fun, but the OP should know it's only meant for tracking monophonic notes - hex pickups and something like a Roland VG-99 are needed to handle real time polyphony (or a guitar-like midi controller instrument would do it http://www.starrlabs.com/ ).

Melodyne sounds like a cool option, depending on what it is you're looking to achieve, but I'd want to be able to play with a particular sound in the moment (that I'm playing on bass or guitar).

I've been thinking about looking into this, but not got round to it. Supposed to be realtime and polyphonic, but I have no idea how good it is. Worth trying the demo though, I guess.
