Voice to MIDI in Ardour

Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?
#1

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.
