Hi Azar,
Your question is, how to transfer mp3/audio to midi? Not midi to audio
which is easy.
The short answer is no. here is why. But only partly, I hope it
helps. The information in a midi file is note-on and note-off. THis
note-on note-off is sent to channels on your synthesiser. These channels
have sounds asigned to them. Piano, Organ, symbals drums and any other
instruments your synthesiser or sound card have installed. So the midi
signal information is sent to channel 7 on your sound/card or
synthesiser. If you have a trumpet on channel 7, then the trumpet
sounds. If you have a Drum sample, then the note-on information will sound
the drum. The note-off signal stops the sound. Midi is sent via serial
communications. The trouble is that it appears almost imnpossible to
transfer the audio content which is waveform into a useable midi
signal. There may be some clever software to do this, but where it is, how
effective it is, are 2 questions to which I know not the answers. If you
want a more in depth response, write me off list and I'll either help, or
put you in touch to folks who really know what they are talking about on
the subjects of MIDI and audio.
Best Regards,
Joe Paton
