envelope follower. Then patch them in to a CVto midi
adapter and bob's your uncle. i have a schemo for he
available from Paia also.
Hi everybody,
I want to use my voice as a MIDI controller (i've
always been one to
push the envelope, so to speak). I know, I could
use a vocoder, but
that limits to the presets available, usually. I
want to be able to
control any MIDI instrument that is out there with
my voice, and not
rely solely on the vocoder patches that are
available.
Hey, i know people are working on this (engineers
and so forth), and
it may be 10 years out, but I had a thought I wanted
to run by some of
you "makers" and other gear techs.
Really, something like the GR-20 just needs a signal
to hit the pickup
that sounds like a guitar to it, right? So, would
it be possible to
use a vocal processor to make a voice sound enough
like a guitar to
fool the GR-20 to thinking that its hearing a
guitar, and thereby
convert the signal to MIDI controller data? What if
you mounted a
GR-20 to something and amplified the guitarized
voice against it to
activate the pickup?
It really doesn't matter what the processed voice
sounds like, as long
ast the GR-20 would think its a guitar.
Is this too crazy to work?
Michael
