device.
Converting the audio to a Drum Pad adds the audio clip into a new
Drum Rack on the first pad.
You can also convert audio into MIDI notes using the Audio to MIDI
methods: Harmony-MIDI, Melody-MIDI, or Drums-MIDI.
Harmony-MIDI
– The pitches in a polyphonic audio clip are identified
and converted into MIDI notes, and the audio is replaced with an
Instrument Rack containing a piano preset (which can be
swapped out
for any other instrument as needed). This option works best for
harmonic instruments like guitar and piano.
Melody-MIDI
– The pitches in a monophonic audio clip are identified
and converted into MIDI notes, and the audio is replaced with an
Instrument Rack containing a synth preset (which can be
swapped out
for any other instrument as needed). This option works best for vocal
clips or soloed instrument samples.
Drums-MIDI
– The rhythms from unpitched percussive audio are
identified and converted into MIDI notes, and the audio is replaced with
a Drum Rack containing a 606 Core Kit preset (which can be swapped
out for any other drum kit as needed). This option works best for
recorded breakbeats or beatboxing clips.
Note that the Audio to MIDI options are not available in the Live Intro
edition.
