You know that's actually a good point. If I had this I would just use it to make glitchy stuff anyway. The coolest thing I ever did with the monophonic audio to MIDI converter I have is record television commercials and turn them into MIDI.

I guess it would be cool to take a recording of Rites of Spring and put it through this so you could listen to the piece through the subtractive synth of your choice. You can't really do that with a MIDI controller. But you can't really do that with this either as would be suggested by my little experiment.

This has been part of Logic Audio for some time now. It's called the "Audio to score streamer" there:

The Audio to Score Streamer function, reminiscent of the Audio-to-MIDI feature in Opcode's Studio Vision Pro, does a creditable job of translating monophonic audio files into MIDI files. The simpler the source file, the better the results. On a test vocal track, this function had some trouble tracking the pitches but did well with the rhythms. On a cleanly played guitar track, it worked much better.

It is still monophonic though, and admitedly glitchy. Have you used it Hans?

Yes, one time for someone else. It was remarkably good, but my input was as clean as it will ever get and indeed monophonic. It was completely useable after quantization.

Cool, I'll have to try out that feature. Thanks.
