Future Music magazine:
"So close to the original
sound that it is scary !"
"This clever little program from Greece
is a rather advanced sound-to-MIDI converter that not only understands pitch,
but also understands volume and brightness. And it's extremely simple to use.
Load up a WAV file, click Start and you're away. Chances you'll have to fiddle
with scary settings as Harmonic Threshold and Time Resolution a few time before
you get the result you're looking for, but once you've got it sussed the quality
is superb [Note: Version 3.0 offers automatic
settings].
As long as the samples you are using are
clean enough (things like delay and background effects tend to get in the way
somewhat) the MIDI playback is so close to the original sound that it is scary.
With cappella samples it's almost as if your computer is singing to you.
Really!
There are a few niggles though. The lack of sample
previewing is a pain in the butt [Note: Version 2.0 offers sample previewing]
and you can use only mono recordings, it would also be cool if you could play
the sample and the MIDI rendering at the same time to compare them. Plus you've
got to know the exact BPM of your sample if you want to use the MIDI file
created in your own compositions.
In general Digital Ear is
very useful to have around"

I
found this whilst looking for a single button midi controller for work (need to
trigger sound effects in a museum using buttons) - any
ideas?
Is this software as good as i think it might be for humming
basslines into a tune if youre as bad at playing keys as I
am?
Interesting stuff...
