Graillon 2 "Enable MIDI Input" in Waveform?

[Jon_Eiche]

I have the Graillon 2 plugin from Auburn Sounds and would like to use the "Enable MIDI Input" function to use a MIDI track to pitch-correct an audio track, as shown here (starting at 2:22):



But the menu shown in the video doesn't appear (Maybe because Waveform sandboxes the plugin?), and I can't find that function in the Properties panel at the bottom of the window.

Please help! TIA!

I did a quick test of it - I had played with MidiChoir before and it operates similarly.

Add an extra input to your track - so you have your audio AND a MIDI device at the same time. Do it by clicking on the input where you would select input device, and specify you want 2 input devices. Select mike as the first, and MIDI device (or track) as the second. ENABLE both for recording.

You DO have to make sure you're inputting MIDI at approximately the pitch that matches voice, or you'll get a chipmunk-like voice; and may have to play with enable level and smoothing. I didn't read the documentation, so may be "better" ways of doing things.

PS - this records both audio and MIDI in the same "track", but you can go back and adjust the MIDI notes after the fact. You can optionally input MIDI from another track, if you really prefer to keep them separate - just select that track instead of a MIDI device.

The "enable MIDI input" is part of that DAW, not the plugin. You don't need it with Waveform, but you need to make sure there is nothing before the plugin that will block MIDI. For example, Graillon itself will accept MIDI input but it doesn't pass the MIDI through.

Yeah, some DAW's seem to have MIDI/VST kinda bolted on the side, rather than Waveform which has always had a fairly straightforward left-to-right philosophy. Which is why plugins like this just get MIDI input by default, if you send it their way. Don't even need a second track for it, as the track can store audio and MIDI together, as separate "lanes" .

(Although I'm sure internally there's more to it than that ).
