Concept: The app “Jardineira” will convert incoming singing voice to fine monophonic MIDI data using pitchBend. It works as AUv3 effect. Please check out the following system requirements. System Requirements: 1. AUv3 host which has a flexible capability of MIDI routing (“AUM”, “apeMatrix”, “Loopy Pro”, etc) 2. Headset (Apple’s “EarPods”, for example) 3. 3rd-party instrument that has a functionality of pitchBend. Scheme: Voice in -> Jardineira (MIDI out) -> 3rd-party instrument Usage: One important calibration 1. Adjust Jardineira’s pitchBend range to the same value as the one of destination instrument. There are 9 sliders. 1. “channel” means the output’s MIDI channel 2. “audio out” determines whether the input voice is turned on or off (default: OFF) 3. “pitchbend range” determines Jardineira’s internal pitchbend range 4. “transpose” transposes MIDI note. 5. “input gain” means microphone’s input gain in dB. 6. “latency” : the smaller the value, the worse the analysis. this trade-off is inevitable. 7. “envelope follower” determines whether envelope follower works or not (default: ON) 8. “MIDI CC” determines MIDI control change number. 9. “amount” determines how the envelope follower affects MIDI CC value. Specifications: Available range: C3 - C6
