Audio to MIDI

[GSpro]

Hello forum,

I need your help.

I'd like to record guitar part(s) over midi as audio track(s) with an actual guitar but, later I would like to convert the guitar audio track as midi track.

Is anything out there available that can do that?

Thank you in advance

PS:
Great new release Jerm.
Thank you

I think there are a couple of products that will convert simple melodies from audio to MIDI. As soon as chords become involved I don't think software will do a very good job of converting.

The best way to convert would be to use a MIDI keyboard or even better a MIDI guitar controller.

Hi Jerm and thanks for the reply.

Here is what I came accross.

Have not tested yet.
Are you familiar with it?

Thanks again

Seriously go with the guitar controller.

The day you put a MIDI pickup on your guitar and strum it with an organ sound coming out of it you will be blown away and wondering why everyone doesn't do it.

I picked up a Roland GR30 very cheaply and it really beats inputing guitar from a keyboard and gives you a better way to record classical string instruments as well.

Thank you Scoot,

I'm doing some shopping around. It looks like I'll have to drop a few hundreds of $$ to get what I need.

Can't wait for a guitar Strum/Arp implemented in Metro.

Anyway thank you for your help
Much appreciated

Based on the samples I heard I think the Rhythm Explorer does what you want now. Simply select the pattern (8ths, 16ths or user) and then make sure RE is configured in guitar mode.

Will try it and let you know ASAP.

Thank you
