Re: [microsound] (OT) Midi Guitar?



you could engineer a patch in Max etc, which does some analysis on incoming audio, perhaps breaking out several bands using some filtering, and convert the resultant amplitude for example, into integers, do a little math on it, and constrain it into note number ranges (0-127)... although I don't imagine it would track very well...

as evidenced by Graham's post, there are hardware units that do just this, and work quite well.... although it would be fun to play around with the poor tracking just to see what happens.

Sorry about the OT of this post, but...

Anyone know anything about a possible patch that would turn a regular guitar into a midi sending instrument? One of my friends at work got that new apple program garageband and now is interested in using his guitar to play the midi instruments that program contains, I sort of have been trying to explain that, it really dosent work that way unless you engineer something with max or another type of app that MIGHT allow one to do this, but you would probably have to rig the guitar so that it could send midi. I guess in some ways this sort of relates to the last post about keffee mattews and weather. Just to clairfiy, not looking for a way to send audio produced by the guitar into a computer, but using a guitar to send midi, I am pretty sure this is not a everyday thing... I know, just use a keyboard...
