Midi Bang v1.2 is a Max4Live device developed with the capability to convert audio signals into MIDI notes. This tool works by translating audio inputs into a MIDI output, providing near real-time conversion with a latency of just 2ms. Midi Bang v1.2 integrates smoothly between audio and MIDI tracks in Ableton Live music production software.
One key feature of Midi Bang v1.2 is its envelope follower mechanism, which responds to the dynamics of audio signals. This functionality allows for the reflection of audio signals’ intensity in the MIDI velocity, enhancing dynamism in performance.
Midi Bang v1.2 setup involves a straightforward process of applying an envelope follower to your selected audio track and adjusting the device’s gain for optimal performance. Once configured, it triggers your chosen audio samples situated within a sampler or drum rack by the audio signals delivered from the envelope follower.
Additional features include the ability to link the velocity of the MIDI note with the level of the triggered note, customize the MIDI note to trigger, and adjust the threshold needed to trigger the MIDI note. Midi Bang v1.2 supports Ableton Live version 11.3.25 and Max version 8.5.8.
