Audio Rythm to Midi Drums ?
 
Hi all.
Do u know any application that could convert an audio percussive rhythm and output the corresponding midi file with matching velocities?
I mean one that would be fast enough to translate even the minor bounces of the stick on the percussion... in order to programm midi rolls for example.

Thank you.

I'm a little unclear on the question, but I think it can be done(but no idea how well it will work). A trigger to midi interface will convert audio to midi. It can be done with an Alesis D4 or D5, a Roland PD16 or most electronic drum modules(Roland TD8, TD10, etc). Its a matter of sending your audio sugnal into a trigger input, setting it to the proper midi note/channel and getting the sensitivity set right for the signal coming in. Odds are that once you get it working, you will need to deal with a slight latency within the process as it takes a little time to convert the audio to midi, then back to audio again with your triggered sounds. Not a major problem as you can slide tracks around in PT.

Thanks Albee.

I actually meant a SOFTWARE solution with no additional hardware required : an application that takes a wav file as input and ouputs a midi file.
Has anyone ever programmed midi drums with an audio2midi application, and got a good translation even for the smallest and quickest bounces of the stick?

Thanks

Wonderfall, there's this program called eKitTrigger that I downloaded when I first got the wrapper, with all good intentions of trying it, but never did.

Disclaimer: I have never tried this application, and I'm not recommending it, I just know that it exists and I'm pointing you in the right direction.

With that said, you could be a pioneer and let us know how it works.

Thanks SPKGuitar.

In fact the reason for my question is the following :
I am developping such an application which gives me very good result already. I just wondered if this existed already. Unfortunately your link doesn't work.

For now my application allows me to play drums on up to five different cans and get a midi file with each can mapped to a peculiar midinote (thus sample). All the little bounces of the stick are detected unlike with other Audio2Midi apps I used.

So I know most people here are more than mere budget home-studists, but what do you think of that ? (I'll try posting demos on Monday). I personnaly already use it, and I find it greatly useful.


Cheers
