SOFTWARE UPGRADE "Multilayer"

a bit of advice for anyone using this feature and enjoying a better experience:

  • This feature is monophonic: as in 1 note at a time, monophonic instruments will give you better results, ie. flute, sax. Polyphonic instruments will work as well but you have to stop sustaining notes before you play the next.

  • Each triggered note will allow you to pitch bend a little before suddenly jumping to the next midi note message. A smooth note glide is not possible.

  • This feature detects notes in relation to their actual wavelength. This means it will have a hard time recognizing lower pitch notes and will have a higher latency (delay between you playing the note and aubio recognizing it) A solution if you want to play lower registers comfortably with minimum latency is to play 1 or 2 octaves above the intended notes and to transpose the midi data afterwards.

  • Practice: audio to midi has been around for a while and it requires a different style of playing on each instrument for it to work seamlessly Sonuus g2m , migic , Jam origin, this one is polyphonic!

Thanks for the advice, @mcgperu!

For those of you wanting to tweak with this, you can do it by adjusting the aubionotes parameters in the service script:

/etc/systemd/system/aubionotes.service

The current adjustment is:

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/aubionotes -O complex -t 0.5 -s -88  -p yinfft -l 0.5

And this is the aubionotes documentation:

https://aubio.org/manpages/latest/aubionotes.1.html

You can also get it from command line:

# man aubionotes

As you can see, there are different methods for onset (note-on) and pitch detection, and also a few parameters.

Aubio project is quite active, so perhaps there are new improvements or features that are not present in the Gorgona imageā€™s version, that was compiled in December. In such a case, you could update to the last version. There is a recipe script (/zynthian/zynthian-sys/scripts/recipes) that could help you with this.

Regards!

I had tested this nice toy. Yes - it works but it is unisono and I am not a very good guitar player for solo parts. Also it has a noticeable latency.
