Apple Patents Polyphonic Note Detection

via Apple Insider

"The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday granted Apple a patent for polyphonic note detection, or the ability to parse out single pitches and tones from a plurality of voices, a technology that may make its way to an expected version of the company's Logic Pro music editing software.

Aptly-named "Polyphonic note detection," U.S. Patent No. 8,309,834 describes a method in which a polyphonic audio signal is converted and sampled against a reference note to distinguish individual voices.

Prevailing technology is limited to detecting single notes, such as a person singing or the picking of a single string on a guitar, which can be used for a number of audio applications like tuning, music creation and pitch correction. With polyphonic detection, a user would be able to tune all strings on a guitar with a single strum.

While there are certain algorithms on the market for digital audio workstations, such as Melodyne from Celemony, Apple has yet to include the feature in its own Logic DAW..." Full post here.

Livid CNTRL:R and Dave Smith Tempest

Livid CNTRL:R and Dave Smith Tempest: Setting up the Tempest with Live and CNTRL:R from Livid Instruments on Vimeo.

"While the Livid CNTRL:R provides a huge amount of control over Live's instruments, effects and Livid's Step Sequencers, the sonic originality and beauty of outboard synths are an essential part of most electronic music setups. Livid teamed up with the best synth maker in the business, Dave Smith Instruments, and explores some ways to seamlessly integrate the Tempest and Mopho into an Ableton live set. With the help of DSI's Carson Day, Peter puts full control of these analog beauties into the CNTRL:R, ending in a thick and rich mix of synths, sounds, and sequences.
In this video, Carson Day of Dave Smith Instruments and Peter Nyboer of Livid give an overview of their plan of attack for getting the DSI Tempest and Mopho setup and integrated into Live. Carson explains how the Tempest is setup and Peter shows how the Livid CNTRL:R accesses everything on the desktop, both real and virtual. Not just an ideal setup for DAW production, but the wealth of hands-on control makes for a perfect setup for collaboration and jamming."
