| Roland's Pitch-to-Midi converter is exactly what you said. It supports either
voice input via microphone or guitar pickup. If you can accept some tracking
especially on low frequencies it is a very useful tool for converting
your humming into Midi signals.
By the way: I am selling mine for DM 420,--.

Joerg

I could be interested, where are you located ?
Anyway I'd like to try one before (looking for a dealer here), so don't refuse
other offer.
BTW, CP40 it is introduced (by the ad I saw) as the latest Roland product ...
are we (in Italy) so late as usual, or is it actually a brend new product ?
... and again, any info about pulse-to-MIDI converters ?
Thanks, Mauro.

| re: .1:
why are you selling yours? strapped for cash, or doesn't it do
what you wanted it to?
are these available in the uk? (italy isn't the only country where
products arrive a couple months after release in the states!).
if it's mono only, that just means you have to play each piece 10
times, doesn't it? :-)

I asked a dealer about it, it's mono voice ... he couldn't answer about chords
(e.g. guitar) handling because he just tried it with microphone (vocal) ...
he'll do it as soon as he'll receive the new delivery (he sold all the units he
had).
My guess (my hope) is that it can recognize the chord note but not its
components (so you'll need a little editing on the part, after the sequencing)
I just wonder how well it does it...
BTW, I phoned to Roland Italy as well, but they seemed to be less informed than
the dealer.

Good question.

Here products usually arrive a couple of months after all the other european
countries received it a couple of months after the release in the states...
Cheers, Mauro.

| re a pitch to MIDI converter - a friend of mine has one, and we tried
to get it to emit MIDI by playing guitar chords... it will NOT do it.
in fact, it's VERY sensitive and has a hard time with pitch-wavering
vocals or too quiet signals.
best of luck, but I don't think it'll work for you. karl

| 2502.8 | is that the Roland? | MINNIE::DOUG | When half-gods go\The gods arrive | Mon Dec 03 1990 20:11 | 4 |
| re: .-1 are you talking about the Roland one? or another one? there
was another one released about a year ago, which did exactly as you
describe. i was hoping that roland (being a kind of "big" company)
could sort out these kinds of problems.

| .. I think it was called the Pitchrider. Been about a year.
sorry for the ambiguiuty, but my impression that all pitch to MIDI
converters have a definite mono in requirement.

| Pitch to MIDI is going to be an essentially mono thing until someone
is willing to throw hardware at it. Poly output is possible, but it
takes a much more involved analysis, with FFTs. Mono output can be
done by filtering and counting zero-crossings. To do the FFTs fast
enough will require DSP chips and very fast processors.
This is if you want to do it in real time, of course. If you are
willing to do it slower than that, you can do it in software on a PC.
