Reamp vocals thru a piano? - uh.....no problem!

[Ben Johnson]

Very creepy, but awesome.

 

[SentencedToBurn]

yea that looks really simple to do

 

[crazykarl]

It's only a matter of time before T-pain starts to use this. Re-pianoing app for iPhone (including full grand piano) will follow soon after.

 

[egan.]

AWESOME.

 

[John_C]

That was really impressive! It look like it took a LOT of work though

 

[SocialNumb]

Wow, really cool Ben! Thanks for posting that.

Just wish I could understand them.

 

[Toni S.]

hahaa awesome

 

[Aaron Smith]

That is RIDICULOUSLY cool. Very clever idea. I would have never expected that merely pressing piano keys to match the timing and frequency response of a human voice, could result in words being audibly understood.

 

[ParsonsMatt]

Let me know when I can get a VST of this

 

[MetalJonesy]

awesome, thanks for posting!

Actually that seems pretty simple... As long as you take that wierd MIDI-to-actual-piano-interface out of the equation it's just a matter of splitting the voice into 12 bands per octave, and use each band to trigger the respective note... lot's of EQ -> lot's of drumagog instances -> VSTi


wouldn't that work? I'll try

i could be wayyyy off but in theory wouldnt you be able to record something in melodyne or some other audio to midi program...convert it to midi and then throw a like a piano plug in on it?

nope, the difference ist that it's not about musical pitch here, rather about actual harmonic content. You could put melodyne on sung vocals and turn them into a piano melody, but that won't sound like vocals anymore

Btw, I tried to do what I mentioned above and failed
The problem I had was mainly that I used reaeq's bandpass tuned to a note, and reaegate afterwards sending midi messages on open/close, but i only got about 3 or 4 octaves covered until my cpu freaked out :Smug:
The other thing is that reagate doesn't output any dynamics (of course not, it's just "i opened now") so i don't have any information how loud the spectrum is at a given frequency, only that it is above a certain threshhold... In the end i couldn't understand any words...

Maybe somebody else (with a better pc) wants to give it a try with something like aptrigga or drumagog?
I used this for the frequencys btw...

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

That is effing dope. Is this something that can be done via plugin?

 

[onqel]

Anyone fast enough to do this on a guitar?

 

[sash poask]

now that you said it, there probably will be a 12 year old on youtube that is able to do it lol

 

[mick thompson]

thats so fucking creepy - imagine you never seen that video and one night your piano started doing that while you were alone in the room - "resistance is futile"

Did you get to test it with ~3 octaves?

I think an offline render would be much more ideal than running 88 plugin chains in real time.

Yeah, i could run it with about 4 octaves actually, but I think I started to low, i guess everything under 250 Hz isn't too important... Is there a way to strictly use reaper offline? The plugins even suck processing power without playback...

Probalby a completely dedicated little program that uses FFT to gather the information about the spectrum and computes a MIDI out of that afterwards would make more sense... Unfortunately I have very limited experience with programming, especially with audio (But since I just started to study Physics this will change soon )
Maybe somebody else wants to pick up on the idea? ABG?
