Innovative Music Systems Releases IntelliScore 5.0Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter Software Adds Multiple Track
Capabilities November 10, 2002
Innovative Music Systems announced the
release of version 5.0 of its patented intelliScore music recognition
software that listens to prerecorded polyphonic music (in WAV or MP3 format)
and creates a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) file containing
the notes played, likely chord names, and overall key. The MIDI file, in
turn, is suitable for notation, editing, and playback, and allows musicians
to spend more time making music and less time figuring out the notes in
unfamiliar pieces. IntelliScore also allows musicians to use their voice or
analog instrument as a real-time MIDI controller or to record directly into
a MIDI editing program such as a sequencer, recreating many of the
expressive nuances contained in the original performance. A trial version
is available for download at www.intelliscore.net.
The new intelliScore simplifies the task of separating detected notes and
assigning them to different MIDI tracks when the prerecorded music contains
multiple instruments. IntelliScore can assign each musical note to one or
more MIDI tracks based on their pitch and stereo channel via patch maps.
Each MIDI track, in turn, can be associated with a different instrument.
Musicians can use any of intelliScore's pre-supplied 23 patch maps that
represent common instrumental ensembles, or they can create and save their
own.
In addition to processing each stereo channel separately, intelliScore helps
to isolate or remove individual instruments from stereophonic music based on
their position in the stereo image. For example, intelliScore can help
remove vocals from a performance, or alternatively, process the vocal part
only.
Joe Kohler, president of Innovative Music Systems, stated: "IntelliScore has
already broken ground as the first commercially successful polyphonic music
recognition system. Now, intelliScore adds multiple track support as well."
Polyphonic music contains more than one note at a time. Most music is
polyphonic. Kohler added: "Musicians, teachers, and composers around the
world have expressed to us a desire for a music recognition solution that
will help them edit MIDI files generated from multiple instrument audio
recordings. We have responded by providing a set of new features to assist
the musician assign notes to different MIDI tracks, each associated with a
different instrument."
