realtime MIDI input visualization as staff notation

kensuguro · Post by **kensuguro** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 3:02 pm

anyone know of a sequencer or any program that takes MIDI input and just puts it on staff notation? I'm trying to go through a bunch of stuff in notation, and all I want to do is make sure I'm playing it right. I recall something that did this.. but that memory's like.. "something I've seen once, in my entire lifetime" kinda thing..

edit:
k, there's an object in max/msp that does this.. still it'll be nice if there's a more lightweight solution..

What sequencer are you using? All should do that.

MusicMasterWorks is a cheap (30-40$) MIDI sequencer that does it.

yes, f.e. Cubase does that

what? cubase does that? What I meant was something like MIDI monitor, that just puts nots on staffs.. kind of hard to put in words...

here's the max executable I made.. run the staffvisual.exe, double click on notein module to select which MIDI port to monitor. Basically I was looking for something to do exactly this, but a bit more plugin like, or a light weight standalone. But for now, this is perfect.

Hi Ken ...as Hubird said.... Cubase has the "Notation" function. Whatever is sequenced is notated at the same time. Have a look up at the top toolbar.

thanks for confirmation

I did and checked it once...in prehistorical times, on a very very old Cubase on Atari!
It was fun to see those bars filled with the nonsense I just played

I new somehow that function still is there, it has to, for all those modern componists working with notes and 'orchestral' setups.

people should start teaching the piano roll midi matrix instead of all this tadpole nonsense. And teach kids about how important trackers were for the demo scene. (lol)

I know the notation menu option you're referring to notates to staffs, but I was looking for a realtime monitoring thing so I can see the specific chord I was playing, on staffs. (so there's no time axis, just whatever I'm playing, always notated as quarter notes)
