mirack audio to midi

Birdpie

hey mirack specialists!
is there a way to put mirack au as a insert in cubasis3 and converted the mono audio to midi/cv in mirack and drive a monosynth there?
or even put out the generated midi to another track in cubasis?

thanks!

Yea use the Nysthi pitch2voltage module and patch your audio from the audio in port to the “in signal” on the pitch2voltage, then patch the voltage out to any v/oct or host midi out if you want 👍

Technically you can use any of the Nysthi tuners but pitch2voltage was specifically designed for that purpose

Birdpie

wow, thanks mate!

Now after you get used to that workflow, use a clock input (or gate sequencer!) into a s&h, sample your voltage output from pitch2voltage, make new variations from your audio in and patch them elsewhere! Maybe add semitones to it and pass it through a quantizer (Lazy Susan is fantastic) and get more and more variations harmonic to your source audio 😄

theres definitely crazy stuff going on. 🤙

i have routed my cv output now to a midi modul (cv input)
now i need a trigger on/off gate, which i wanna generate with the same audio.
can i set up a gate with a threshold before passing it to midi cv gate?

interesting.i don't think i get it, could you try to explain different, please?

Gate extraction is a bit harder but should be still doable, try Delta from HetrickCV, it’s a rate of change comparator so patch your voltage into it and it should output a trigger every time the voltage changes. I haven’t tried it before but it should work

thanks i try that and put a gate in front of delta

Alright it’s all about manipulating the voltage you got out from pitch2voltage into interesting variations

So you can do it as follows
1 run a clock in your patch in sync with the host clock (you’ll find host sync modules)
2 get the clock to trigger a sample&hold module
3 feed your voltage from pitch2voltage into the s&h
4 now you’re taking “samples” from your voltages at regular intervals
5 add semitones or octaves to the voltage you output from the s&h (use 21khz D ♾️ module)
6 then put a quantize the output to your scale (as the modified signals are now off key or transposed)
7 you can now change the clock setting (triggering the sample&hold) for more variations
8 you can also trigger the sample and hold by any gate sequencer for more and more variations

I hope that’s clearer 👍 I’ll try to screen shot a video of this stuff tonight

thanks, iam going to experiment!
