Backed! Really hope for a VST version. This is revolutionary.

I've always wanted an easy way to transcribe the music of my dreams to my DAW.

That's where I'm at, the only thing interesting about Prime is polyphony and I'm not left feeling too confident reading "(experimental feature)" next to it. What are your thoughts?

The Sonuus audio-to-midi devices do it and are cheap. The bass version locks audio to pitch, too.

Well it's optimized for voice it seems and one obviously can't sing polyphonically anyway, so I'm wondering what are you planning to use it for.

Actually it's stated as resposive to a wide range of instruments, so polyphony is possible.

Tuvan throat singing.

a few people can trigger different instruments together in a perfomance for example. as much as i probably would enjoy to hear and see a well done show i'm personally not very interested in the prime edition features. the regular imitone is more then enough for me. also i dont think that it's optimized for voice, at the end the voice is also only a instrument. can't wait to put out the old flute!

VST with MIDI output is essential for something like this.

That is the company I mean, actually

If I am not mistaken, for singing one would need to buy the i2M model, which is 150 dollars, though. For a hobbyist that is not cheap at all.

Backed it yesterday and it was at $56k. Right now it's at $59k with 4 days to go...I'd say a VST is on the cards

I have never participated in such a funding model. When you pay those 25 bucks now, will you get them back if that guy is a criminal and never delivers anything?
