I came across this product that claims it can translate an audio file
into midi and export it out to a keyboard or midi controller.

If this is true, for those of us trying to pick up on Music Theory
and really composing songs this sounds heaven sent.

One could also use this as a tool for Re-Mixing songs to the fullest!
Matching Vocals & Beatz and manipulating them on the fly by dragging
and clicking.

Also, its suppose to work with Cubase & Reason (Rewire)
and make your life a lot easier with time stretching.


Peep out what they talking bout and drop some knowledge if you used this product before.

What Melodyne can do

Melodyne is able to change the musical parameters of voices or instruments without any actual influence on the character of the recording. Melodyne detects the pitch and the rhythm, leaving you free to manipulate the audio material at will. Any changes you make are interpreted by the software in a musically intelligent manner and the results always sound natural. Working with Melodyne is as easy as editing notes with MIDI.

Pitch shifting and time stretching were awkward operations in the pre-Melodyne age, too problematical to even bother with unless things had gone badly wrong. In Melodyne, they’re a breeze! You can perform time stretching, pitch shifting or formant correction without even thinking; just grab the notes already recognized by the software and move them around in pitch or time and everything will sound as you would musically expect it to. Or you can move the tempo slider during playback, and you will hear the music accelerate or slow down without this in any way affecting the pitch — just like an orchestra following the conductor’s baton.


Detecting notes from your recording

You can record single melody tracks like with any other hard disk recording software, or you can import them into your arrangement as audio files. It is not essential that the timing, pitch or musical scale of imported melodies match those of your current arrangement — it's easy for Melodyne to adapt them. If you want to edit a melody, just double-click on it and after a short pause (while the software detects the individual notes) the editor will open. The notes appear in their actual positions in terms of time and pitch, and you will also see the exact phrasing of a melody line.

I played with the almost fully functional version of this like a week ago. It works best for vocals, and any other single instrument file. If you use a sample with with any more than a couple sounds or really tight compression it doesn't work as well. But you can do some cool stuff with it though! But basically it's the best shit for vocals. It could make anybody sound dope!

Oh, and I tried time stretching a soul sample and it's just like any other timestretch on a sample with more than just one sound happening at a time. If you go past 10% stretch it starts to sound really bad!

good looking lou, and cash I saw this a while back ago, and it seem pretty interesting, I was wondering how it would work with more than one instrument samples, guess you answered my question

should be a godsend for getting some solo instrument samples though, and especially vocals
