Great video! The velocity at the end of some words seemed a bit off/the words did not seem to overlap perfectly. But I think is due to the attack, decay and release settings in the volume envelope inside Halion Sonic.

Yeah that's a challenge because Cubase does not really do polyphonic pitch detection. Maybe first separate the stems with SpectraLayers and then convert those to midi with either Cubase or melodyne in case of polyphonic stems. But expect to do a lot of 'manual labour' in that process. If someone else knows of a smoother way, I'm interested as well.

@@philipssamuel5433 you need a midi cable from your PC to the keyboard if you want to play the midi in Cubase. Then you need to take audio out of the keyboard to the inputs of your audio interface in the PC. Then you can record what’s coming out of the keyboard.

You didn’t play the robotic voice on its own therefore we cannot distinguish the differences. For example, when you use more pitch bend does this mean you used less note changes? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE MIDI NOTES THEMSELVES when you use the pitch bend options? Please play the robot voice on its own. Otherwise the whole example is wasted for the viewer.
@LanewoodStudios
@LanewoodStudios Жыл бұрын
Yes I understand now that you would want to hear the robotic voice separately to more clearly hear the difference. I tried to explain the difference in the midi notes. The midi notes appear to be based on the pitch segments in variaudio so the same for all options. The pitch bend data with the static option appears to be based on the deviation of the pitch segment from the absolute note value. With the continuous option the pitch data follows all the small pitch changes that are detected in variaudio over the whole length of the pitch segment.
