Is there a way to achieve similar functionality as shown in this video with reaper?
I know the audio to midi lua script exists, but it would be nice to be able to do it in real time.
I have tried setting up an audio track with the @x42 autotune plugin and sidechaining it out to a midi track, I can see input on the midi track, but I can’t get it to trigger notes on the synth.
I think https://guitarix.org/ LV2 plugins come with a tuner has a realtime audio to MIDI mode, but I don’t know for sure.
In the distant past the tuner I wrote had MIDI note output, but the timing was all over the place (higher notes triggered earlier than lower ones and latency was generally unreliable, so I removed that feature).

I am unable to check, but reatune should be included in this download. Would it be possible to add this to a midi instrument track ? Or is there an audio routing issue that would prevent this from working because it is not possible to have audio and MIDI in the same track ? Could you manually add a sidechain on the plugin (in the plugin routing) then route audio to it from another track ?
I am not able to check…just some ideas…
@x42 , I don’t see an option in gxtuner to send notes to midi
@Schmitty2005 I installed the reaplugs but it does not include reatune
I ended up finding this, but have not tested it out yet. Dodo MIDI by Dodo Bird - Audio to MIDI Plugin VST3
I also ended up finding a way to rewrite the audio to MIDI lua script to do monophonic notes which seems to work a lot better than the original script, it would just be nice to have a Linux native FOSS solution for realtime audio to midi
According to Guitar-to-MIDI conversion in Rakarrack/Guitarix? - LinuxMusicians it should be possible. Then again that post is also over 10 years old and maybe the feature was removed.
using rakkarack is more trouble than it’s worth IMO, I just stick with modified audio to midi script, thanks for your help on this.
