Using A Saxophone To Control MakeNoise Modular Synthesizers

I've always wanted to try this! In this video, I use my DAW (Nuendo) to extract midi data from saxophone audio and then I drive my Modular Synthesizer with the Midi. Check out how it sounds! Please remember to Like, Comment and SUBSCRIBE!!! Thanks for watching!

That's quite cool! I love this kind of experimentation! I play tenor sax and trombone in a rock band, so I also dabble in using FX on horns, which has really tickled my creativity (quite like yourself here)! At the moment I'm building a live rig where I have a small 4 channel mixer, with 2 XLR inputs, going into a Line6 PodGo to form an AUX loop on one of the stereo channels, so I can have both fully dry, fully wet sounds and in between stages. Still have to try it out live!

Cool you play sax too, I play tenor myself (and started on a really old and dubiously refurbished curved soprano when I was very small). Never heard of Nuendo, seems it's related to Cubase but focused more on audio production for video? I've got lots of sketches of noodling about much like this, and had vaguely considered doing "extract to MIDI" (unquantised) before. Cool to see you gave this a shot especially with your modular.

Nice, and I can't understand why anyone gives the video a thumbs down. They can just skip to some other video. I'm glad you've found something that makes you happy and creative - and that you want to share it with us. Keep it coming ;-)

Thanks so much for that. I know it’s a silly thing, but I was a little bummed about the dislike on there. Your kind words really go a long way. More videos soon!

Very cool!

Thanks! 🙏🏾

Gonna do this rn

[@VJFranzK]

There are some modules that will track the tone directly!

[@Koboto]

I’m sure there are much easier and better ways of doing that. Haha. I wasn’t super happy with the result but it was fun to try. Thanks for watching!
