audio to midi feature?

[Christoph Hart]

The main problem is that with VST2 it's extremely difficult / error prone to get audio data into a synth plugin (a VSTi plugin means MIDI in, audio out and any audio track has to be routed via weird sidechaining stuff).

Now that VST2 has deprecated, I have to migrate to VST3 anyway sometime in the future. However this yields the following dependency chain:

1. add VST3 support
2. add support for sidechaining in HISE
3. add a audio 2 midi module

Bottomline: I wouldn't hold my breath for it :)

You might need it for that drum plugin you're working on soon :winking_face:

I realized just after I posted that this feature would need both audio and midi capability.
I found an audio analyzing library online:

Maybe I can use this to create a separate hit detection plugin that would feed the samplers I create with HISE.

When d'you think Hise so could export VST3?

Hey @Christoph-Hart! Just checking in to see if you had any plans on incorporate this in HISE3. I could really use a process trigger modules from incoming audio.

@dustbro Is it only a trigger that you want or a note recognition?

[Dan Korneff]

@ustk just a trigger

[ustk]

@dustbro There might be a way to achieve this with scriptnode... I don't know how but I'll have a look...

@ustk It would be cool to make a drum trigger.

[ustk]

@orange Sure it would be cool :)

@dustbro What is it you want to trigger? because there might be different ways to achieve it...

drum trigger

I'm looking for a simple drum trigger.
