Hi,

I’ve been trying all day to convert an analog signal that is fed into the program through a Scarlett Solo live into spherical sounds, without hearing the original noises themselves. I can distort or process the sounds, but that’s not what I want — I want to measure the sounds and transform them into suitable sound patterns.

My setup was: one track for the audio input of the noises, where I remove unwanted noise; then a second track where I tested, among many others, the apTrigga3 plugin or the built-in Max envelope follower.
The data should then be converted into MIDI instruments on a third track.

Is this simply not possible, or am I just using the wrong approach?
Feel free to suggest alternative programs as well.

Best regards

If you want to do it on a "live" signal, you could try https://manifest.audio/x-translate
If you want to do it "off line", there's enough in Live to do this. There are several options to convert your audio to midi (right click on a clip and search in the list), learn about transition/warp markers if results aren't to your liking.
Results will vary depending on source material (how defined are your transients and pitches?), don't expect miracles.
