try some "aodio-to-midi" converrters, like the
roland cp-40
it has simple controlls, cheap to buy and does
the trick...
good luck :-)

Does such a thing exist as a handheld vocal microphone with
switches or
controls for MIDI?
That would totally &%$#ing
rule.
Anyone?

Hi
There
were a Roland ( I think)( I'll check it up) Mic for Midi but if I remember
right no audio just for trigging synth or whatever. I used it with a band
Tinnitus Therapy Trip( virtual Guitar, Vocals, Reeds, Drums ), that had two
loopers going, a Jamman and a Boss RC-20 and the Midi mic to a Synth with
percussion sounds, we started playing and after a while the loopmachines
triggered the midi mic and the synthperc so we could all walk of stage and
still be playing. (the synth also triggered itself with amazing feeling
!!!:)

Subject: Re: Looping on my
mac
Hi All, first post to the list.
Anyone of you doing
realtime looping on a Mac?
Since i cant seem to find any dedicated
software: what software,
interfaces and (midi)/controllers are
usable to get good realtime
looping from a laptop running OS
X?
I suspect that CoreAudio is as realtime as it gets so it should
by
far
be
possible.
Thanks

Hi
Jan,
I've been following this thread with interest, since I am a Mac
looper
myself as well. As your question was not particularly specified
you
received many answers addressing a broad span of live looping
techniques and strategies. All good advices has already been given, but
here are some additional short notes on priorities concerning
"ready-made" software (leaving out MAX/MSP):
1. If you want to
record loops in parallel that keep going rock steady
and stay in sync -
try Ableton Live. Record loops as "clips" on Live's
"tracks". Toggle
your recorded clips from a midi foot pedal.
2. If you want to record
loops of many overdubbed layers, that may also
swosh and wash -
sometimes out of dead on beat sync - and if you want
to keep the option
of getting experimental with changing the pitch or
even play melodies
with the spinning loop - then loop in Augustus Loop.
Now, Augustus Loop
is an AU plug-in for OS X, so you will need a host
application for it.
Two good host applications are Live 4 and
Numerology. With Live you also
get the option to mix your live looping
with "canned loops" (audio
files). With Numerology you also get the
option to set up hairy step
sequencers to control parameters of the
looping plug-in (like pitch, yes
- this makes chord changes in live
looping an option) or just about any
AU plug-in that you like sequenced
for sound design. This kind of
"building your own looping effect
processor" (setting up beat synced
pitch jumping, tremolo, filtering,
gating etc of different rhythmic
patterns etc etc) is also possible in
Live, but the alternatives are
more limited than with Numerology.
