Audio to MIDI in any DAW - Neural Note: a free VST Plugin

[@hrrld]

I like you highlighting these impressive efforts from others - very cool of you to participate in the community this way. Keep it up.

[@PolarityMusic]

it's always the small indie devs who make the most interesting plugins (for me) :D

[@hrrld]

@@PolarityMusic That's so cool - using your platform to put some sunshine on their names and projects is very cool.

[@anksuczka]

@@PolarityMusic it's always like this, even in "gaming" industry

[@offcrcartman]

I just found out about this program so I searched and landed here. Thank you for such a concise overview of the features and limitations!

[@oystercatcher943]

That’s an impressive plug in. Knowing a bit about bit this area I’m surprised we don’t have more of these. Issue will be ability to cope with different instruments and more complexity. This is a hard problem and the tools will get better and better

[@PolarityMusic]

AI classification could help in this area: "only pitch track the piano/voice/guitar" :)

[@TI-80MARC]

@@PolarityMusic That's a good idea, perhaps they could integrate another open source project like Spleeter to target specific parts of the source audio

[@DenianArcoleo]

I think you answered your own question- it's a (very) hard problem.

[@Petros_Michalakopoulos]

I just want to mention your videos regarding bitwig are extremely helpful. I have been using another daw for 9 years and now my second day on bitwig. You helped me really to orientate myself.

[@SoundmanCH]

I tried it, it’s really impressive, thanks for the tip!

[@iamYork_]

I will have to try this out... I came from Cubase to Bitwig and i only keep Cubase on my desktop because it has an audio to midi feature and also the scoring to video option which Bitwig hasnt intergrated... This seems almost better than Cubase's version or at least has more knobs/options... Thanks for passing on the information and FREE is my favourite price!!!

[@hazmatproduction4562]

Cubase version only works on monophonic audio though right?

[@sternenherz]

Nice thing - still hoping for a Bitwig-internal solution though! Abletons Drag&Drop Audio-to-Midi is unmatched, concerning the quickness of workflow.

[@muddyblue]

Wow! Great work, really usefull and easy to use! Nice, small & handy, nice GUI and for free! Thank you for showing us and many thanks to the developer!!!

[@EnervatedSociety]

Pretty good for free. Out of curiosity I've tried this in the past with Melodyne, because I have it. It did pretty well, the results were even usable with semi-complex drum patterns after some adjustments and editing.

[@SitWithAnkit]

I use Melodyne to "get inspiration from" the other songs I like and release as my own productions. :P

[@MB-zm6rr]

Always on top! Thanks Polarity

[@TheAlburp]

What a time to be alive 👏😂

[@Zenonbuster]

Fuck yes boys we cooking tonight!

[@PolarityMusic]

😂 les go

[@Megallicafan18]

for whatever reason when I drag the file out of the vst I can't seem to load it into the project, any idea what am I doing wrong?

[@fallenleaf24]

Logic Pro X has somthing similar inbuilt. its less tweak able. but I have got great results with it.. this is pretty sweet!

[@fredericholyszewski7740]

that makes the only one reason i needed ableton live to dissapear!!!

[@paulguy2545]

I think I might find this useful for finding out the right note or pitch of my Vocals after recording them into my Logic Pro & Bitwig DAWs (I am a Bitwig Newbie but really like it so far!). I think I could live with some of its shortcomings but they’re only minor… its a Freebie Plug-in thats also a work-in-progress so you have to expect these things but it can be very useful. Thanks for sharing this!

[@PolarityMusic]

maybe look at this video, it could be helpful / interesting for you. its more experimental but maybe also more fun :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6fNeIB_qZqqrLc

[@berniehcc]

That’s nice 🤟🏻Thanks, I will it try out 😎

[@adamvolkinshtein1184]

Free Melodyne!! Pog

[@sstrudeau]

Polyphonic note detection is really impressive, even if it's not great... would love to try something like this can do near-real-time conversion of monophonic audio sources (with pitch slide tracking) so I can plug in my Silent Brass mute into my trombone and use it as a synth controller...

[@PolarityMusic]

maybe watch my zero crossing video (if you havent already), it should work nice with single pitch sounds kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6fNeIB_qZqqrLc

[@sstrudeau]

@@PolarityMusic I have this on my project list :)

[@colingoldberg346]

As a newbie to this, two things are not clear to me as I try to install it. (a) which file (vst/au/standalone) to use, and (b) which Audio Music Apps folder to copy to.

[@PolarityMusic]

a) where do you want to use it, in Bitwig? then you need vst. Logic, then au. b) which system? windows? which plugin standard? vst3? vst3 on windows goes always to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3"

[@chiboreache]

awesome tool for self education in _alternative_ way 👌☺

[@megwatts1903]

It works better on sources with NO reverb. It reads the reverb as notes.

[@Petros_Michalakopoulos]

I write something unrelated to this post, but it is about a feature that I used to have in cubase but seems to be missing in bitwig. It is called direct monitoring, where you would listen to external audio bypassing the FX of the daw while listening and so didn't have any latency. Does this feature exist in bitwig or is there maybe a workaround?

[@halflightdnb]

Very cool.

[@jord1242]

Anyone figure out why the Quantize isn't working? I mean, importing and doing in the DAW is easy, just seems strange they would have a feature there but not allow you to use it.

[@tarekhassan6958]

Great.. Thank you

[@klinikat5313]

drumloops & sequenced synths probably not working ?

[@brianmi40]

Would also be great if it had some preview playback sounds it had built in, such as a piano, or guitar sound to hear playback of the rendered MIDI, which then you could tweak the detection parameters and hit "Test" again to hear if it is a better match to the original with altered settings. Also would have been helpful to see it's amount of success on a full mix, or a bass line, or..., not just a sample of solo piano, the easiest instrument in the world to do pitch to MIDI... Confused by your "too hard" for computers to do this. Melodyne has done this for 22 years...

[@petergreen2013]

I've tried standalone version - not working !

[@b.l.h.d1300]

coole sache

[@andyziko]

But Melodyne already exist for this.

[@tomkent4656]

@@andyziko Melodyne is not free!

[@leonnaffin]

For this example melodyne would give a much better results.

[@manufacturingdissent666]

or scaler but not free

[@lukather1]

Scaler is very poor at midi as it converts every not as a Separate chord so hard to work on !

[@arnulfschnitzler4695]

I use Ableton for that

[@PolarityMusic]

this is probably more precise! give it a try

[@BappinProductions]

@@PolarityMusic and not tied for a 600e DAW that still can't do multiclip fading or compensate for latency between devices 🤦‍♂😅

[@stephenroldan5107]

​@@BappinProductions600? Not even close

[@lukather1]

Just doesn’t work very well tried for hours ! Unreliable and indifferent results ? Anyone had success ?
