Yes, in a popular sense, here in Spain there are enough interest towards electronic music, that is way, MIDI and synthethizers. A few of composers make up an elitist circle (I think that's the same in other countries) and they "cook and eat" their "musical products" which have both philosofical justifications and extramusical considerations.

Dear listers, I have a little problem: I'm using Autoscore (a pitch voice recognizer program) in combination with Practica Musica (an aural training program). In some Mac models like LC the microphone works (not fine, but works at all) in tasking of voice recognition, while in another models based in Motorola 68030 (and best) microphone don't works. I think it can be due either to high or low microphone impedance. If some list member know what is the real microphone impedance on M680x0 based Mac plattform, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Comments: To: SYNTH-L@american.edu I sure do hope someone can help me with this! I am the vocalist, keyboards, guitars, and programing for an industrial band. I work with one other person in the studio, but here's my problem... In the studio, we used sound modules and wave playback from the computer to suppliment the rest of the band. Our reasons for only having two people doing all of the writing and recording isn't important. We also used a ton of sequencing...Anyway... We just recently put together a band to play the songs live. (drummer, bassist, guitarist, and myself - vocals) I explained to the rest of the band that we would have to play to a tape, but my question is would having a keyboard trigger samples of the taped material in small bits be easier, or should we just go with the tape? We would still be playing, just some of the layered keyboard tracks and samples would be on the tape. If sampling is the answer, can any of you suggest one that could pull this off? Also, could anyone suggest a keyboard foot-controler for switching patches during a song? Any amount of help is appriciated and you will be worshiped as a God from this day forward if it works!

Hi, The cpu shouldnt have any effect on whether the mic works or not. You simply need to know if the mic you are using is LO Z or HI Z. My guess is LO Z or low impedance. Dont expect any great degree of accuracy, no matter what mic you use. Mac hardware, even on the fastest macs, is too slow to do fast and accurate pitch recognition. Especially when trying to process a vocal audio pitch to midi. The computer has a difficult time trying to figure out what is a vocal fundamental and what is an overtone. Also has a hard time figuring out what is the vocal sound vs what is a background noise. Thats why no one as yet has ever come out with an accurate software or hardware based audio pitch to midi. Its mainly a hardware problem. Autoscore does the best job it can based on the limitations of the mac hardware. Same with Opcodes attempt at single line pitch to midi. Using a mouse is still faster and more accurate, as is using your favorite midi controller. Happy Emusic Timothy Kelly MidiVox -- MidiVox-Worlds 1st Voice to Midi Converter. Real Time. No Delays.

The band I'm in plays everything live, but this is what I've found out from some of the industrial folks out at the rehearsal complex: The most streamlined and most dependable system was a tape, with a click track for the drummer. This requires very little set up/tear down and there's not too much that can go wrong. If it's just a few things like some extra layers and a handful of samples, could one more band member do the trick? The guys I talked to said that taking a midi rig on the raod and triggering lots of stuff live is much more trouble than it's worth. good luck, Jon jonmor@moontower.com ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 15 Feb 1996 21:54:26 +0000 Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: Nick Rothwell Subject: Re: Contemporary Dance, Contemporary Music >Tell me: am I understanding you correctly?

Actually, some dance does work in silence, and a lot of music works in the absence of dance. But since I do music and love dance, my interest is drawn to the way they can be made to interact.

There's stuff there which no-one has done yet.) >>dance projects are basically commissions.

Thanks for asking about MidiVox Voice to Midi. Timothy Kelly MidiVox DAVID RUBIN ON MIDIVOX IN HIS NEW BOOK THE DESKTOP MUSICIAN OSBORNE McGRAW HILL 1995 BERKELEY CA In writing about devices that convert singing into MIDI data, David Rubin says the following about MidiVox: ( pages 105-106 ) David Rubin is also the author of The Audible Macintosh and co-author of The Audible PC. "One company, SynchroVoice, has come up with an innovative solution called the MidiVox, which works far better than previous pitch-to-MIDI converters. In fact, SynchroVoice doesn't even refer to its device as a pitch-to-MIDI converter, because the MidiVox doesn't convert audio signals to MIDI: instead, it reads and tracks vocal-chord movements and uses the information to generate MIDI messages. The basic setup consists of a special polyurethane neck band, called a biosensor, and a single-space rackmount interface. Inside the neck band are four gold-plated sensors connected by a lightweight cable. To use the MidiVox, you wrap the band around your neck so the sensors are positioned correctly on either side of your Adam's apple. A six-foot cable than connects you to the rackmount unit. On the rear panel of the interface are two parallel MIDI Out ports. Through the biosensor, the MidiVox determines the frequency and volume of your singing and converts this information into MIDI Note On, Pitch Bend and Volume messages. The unit provides two vocal range settings, designated Male and Female /child. It also provides two volume-tracking modes, Variable and Fixed. In Variable mode, the unit responds to changes in your singing level by sending out Volume messages. In Fixed mode, all notes receive the same MIDI Volume setting of 64. There are also two pitch-tracking modes as well: Continuous and Chromatic. Continuous mode sends Pitch Bend data along with Note on messages. As you swoop and bend notes, the MidiVox sticks with you. In Chromatic mode (the hardest to control), the interface chooses the closest note to the pitch that you produce. In either mode, the MidiVox responds to the very first vibrational; cycle of your vocal chords and instantly sends a Note On message. This combination of near-instantaneous response and isolation from extraneous audio interference enables the MidiVox to significantly outperform pitch-to-MIDI converters. MidiVox holds great potential for both performers and students. It is already being used by universities for voice research, pitch training, music education, and other applications. And professional musicians are exploring its potential as well. At the very least, singers now have a way to join the MIDI club." *** MidiVox - Worlds 1st Voice to MIDI Converter ! *** Audio Engineers Society- AES Best in Show, Electronic Musician Editors Choice.

Another advantage of throat based triggering is isolation from extraneous background noises . . ." " we. . . started singing a simple passage into our Mac sequencer . . . we got squeaky clean results on our first pass . . ." " We decided since legato mode was working so nicely for us, we'd try recording a walking bass line into our sequencer. Within a couple of minutes we actually had a track we could work with; it was packed with grace notes and dynamic changes." " We preformed a few minor edits to the sequence and presto, it was done. Now we were starting to have some fun . . ." " it is an exciting product that delivers. " " An expressive and very unusual addition to your studio or live rig. " " The number one consideration is performance . . . MidiVox roars. " Electronic Musician " With their extensive experience in biomedical speech analysis . . . SynchroVoice designed the MidiVox, which tracks vocal cord movement . . ." " Unlike conventional pitch to midi convertors, the MidiVox is entirely nonacoustic in its operation, which eliminates many pitfalls associated with more traditional designs." " the MidiVox consists of 2 major components: a neck band called the BioSensor and a 1U rack-mount interface unit. " " The neck band is a strip of thermally reticulated polyurethane, which is a soft, spongy foam material . . . this material doesn't become hard or brittle with age. It is also completely hypoallergenic and absorbs perspiration quite effectively. . . The polyurethane doesn't slip against itself and relaxes to a comfortable tension that rarely needs adjusting once it's properly in place. " " The MidiVox also features 2 pitch tracking modes; Continuous and Chromatic. Remarkably, in both cases the MidiVox sends a Note On message after the very first cycle of the vocal folds." " . . . the synth followed the voice quite well." " Scatting worked surprisingly well. " " Singers join the Midi band with this unique voice to Midi convertor." Electronic Musician ( cont ) " System setup is straightforward. Simply connect one of the MIDI Outs from the MidiVox to the MIDI In of a sound source, set the transmit channel on the MidiVox to correspond with the recieve channel on the synth, and set the Pitch Bend range on the synth to 12 semitones." " Variable volume tracking worked very well." " On the whole, the MidiVox is an excellent tool . . . " " Those who wish to expand their palette of possibilites would be well advised to check out the MidiVox." " It will certainly become the tool of choice for singers who want to join the Midi band." Computer Music Journal " SynchroVoice has found a neat way around the problem of pitch tracking the human voice. Its product, the MidiVox Professional Voice Controller, uses an electro-glottograph instead of a microphone to capture vocal output. The transducer is make of 4 copper pads, each about half of a square inch in area, held firmly to your neck by a foam band . . ." " The entire sensor is so lightweight that after a few minutes you're not even aware you're wearing it." " The MidiVox has some musically interesting characteristics . . . Unlike an acoustic-signal pitch detector, it can measure the time between the first and second glottal impulse and determine the pitch instantly. Of course, your voice may not be in tune during the attack of the note. In continuous mode, MidiVox is just as accurate ( and inaccurate ) as you are. " " In stepped mode, MidiVox outputs no pitch bend information. The output pitch is exactly on a semitone . . . it's easy to hear the difference between the vocal pitch and the synthesizer pitch. This is a fun way to practice singing on key." " MidiVox gives not only an accurate fundamental frequency, but also glottal pulse amplitude and precise voice onset and offset times. " " . . . step back and look at what this box represents-an innovation in musician computer communication. MidiVox senses a signal from the body that most people don't even realize exists and transforms it into a musically useful control. " " if you want to be on the leading edge, you can't wait. " " You'll have to experiment to verify that MidiVox is what you've been dreaming of. But I can guarantee that the experimentation will be fun !
