May 3, 2001 Digital Ear is a Windows-based program that can analyze a recorded solo performance (e.g. a singing human
voice, or a musical instrument) and convert it to a standard MIDI file. That
file can be send directly to any synthesizer, or can be imported to your
favorite sequencer (e.g. Cubase VST, Cakewalk etc. ) for mixing with other
tracks, or further processing. Digital ear reads standard PCM wave (.wav)
files.
Unlike some conventional Pitch-to-MIDI converters, Digital Ear will
send high-resolution pitch events closely matching those of your original
sound according to the company. Any vibrato, tremolo, pitch-bend, or portamento effects of your
recorded sound will be converted and reproduced into any voice of
your synthesizer.
A unique capability of Digital Ear not found elsewhere, is that it can
capture and send to your MIDI synthesizer, detailed envelope and timbre
dynamics events. Those features can boost your synthesizer's voice realism
and enhance your musical expression.
