Some MIDI manipulations I want to do.

[budtz]

I'm currently working on getting my fingers back in shape on the piano and had a few ideas about some software assist that could be cool when practicing scales or similar. Essentially what I want to do, real-time, is read MIDI time and velocity data, compare these two values two a quantized version of the same note and a fixed/running average velocity value respectively, and then decrease the output velocity of the note proportionally to the mismatch between these. The idea being that this would be an intuitive way to practice both finger timing and force.

Has anyone done something like this? Is there a piece of software out there that can let me program this that doesn't cost the price of Reaktor or similar?

Regards,

Casper

Should be possible in Pure Data, which is free.

Also, some hosts like Reaper and Renoise) allow scripting. I've only barely scratched the surface of Reaper scripting but that seems do-able.

Maybe you could look on sourceforge or github. They have quite a lot of music tutoring/practicing programs there.

Kind regards,

That sounds fairly simple to implement. Any programming language which can deal with MIDI should suffice. You could look into Processing for starters. Its a great programming environment for beginners with plenty of example code included. And it is built on top of Java, so you could extend what you learn into "real" programming if you felt so inclined.

Is there anything in Pizmidi that could do what you want ?
