If you're interested in merely converting a guitar performance to MIDI without converter hardware then you could try Jam Origin's Midi Guitar 2 plug in.Īrm and monitor your track, strap the plug-in across the recording input FX, put a VSTi in your track effects. To be followed, then, whilst saving up, if this is a real need. What it did do was very good it'll be of limited practical use for the moment. I don't know what Melodyne would make of the same samples, and I haven't the cash to find out it'll be good to see how far this can evolve. To be followed maybe I should try again with cleaner samples, rather than my own playing (OK, I play badly I know. Reaper didn't allow 'drag'n'drop of the audio, so I had to firstly render the ten seconds, before importing the rendered audio into the Vst.

True, yes, but difficult to manipulate, as they're very much interdependent.

I play badly, OK.? Wanna make something of it.?) all translated into MIDI notes.

It depends a lot on the quality of the audio for rendering a clean result my poor guitar strumming brought out a fit of ghost sounds, absolutely true to the original, but with all the noises, squeaks and rumbles (yes, so much in ten seconds. Ten seconds is no time at all, and it takes a lot longer than that to process those seconds, so cutting a longer sample into ten-second slices is going to take a while. Well, it certainly works, but it'll make heavy weather of composing whilst it retains its limitations.
