MIDI Resynthesis Example - Africa Hitech "Out In The Streets" (Intro)

Crude MIDI Resynthesis

A crude MIDI resynthesis tool. Incoming audio is split up into 128 bands across the spectrum in 30 ms chunks. For every band and every chunk, the energy is converted into velocity for that particular MIDI pitch.

Thus, every 30ms chunk can consist of up to 128 note on events (one for every pitch), which can then be played back to give a strange, low resolution impression of the timbral, pitch and to a lesser degree rhythmic content of the music.

I love the data that is created by this tool.

Instruments with a Polyphony of 128 in Ableton Live

To create an instrument with a polyphony of 128 in Ableton Live is easy. Simply make a fresh instrument rack, place multiple copies of the same instrument preset, maximise the polyphony of each instance (perhaps to 32), and the use the key routing to spread out each instance across the 128 note range, thus giving a polyphony of 127.
