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...
