Digital Ear

 

75%

 

Digital Ear analyzes a recorded solo performance (a singing human voice or musical instrument) and converts it to a standard MIDI file. That file can be send directly to any synthesizer or can be imported to your favorite sequencer for mixing with other tracks, or further processing. Digital ear reads standard PCM wave (.wav) files.

Unlike conventional so-called "Pitch-to-MIDI" converters, Digital Ear sends high-resolution pitch events closely matching those of the original sound. Any vibrato, tremolo, pitch-bend, or portamento effects of the recorded sound will be converted and reproduced into any voice of your synthesizer.

A unique capability of Digital Ear is that it can capture and send to your MIDI synthesizer, detailed envelope and harmonic content (brightness) events. Those features can boost your synthesizer's voice realism and enhance your musical expression.
