  • Oh, brilliant. The colors make it more identifiable. ..the GGAB..I'm not a programmer though I had tried writing in C++. I still can't figure out how the voice can be inputed into a program. Do you have to input GGABA....? Thanks for sharing. This is the most exciting thing I find today.

  • There are many different audio file formats of varying complexity. One of the simplest ones to work with is the uncompressed .WAV file format. You can use iTunes or ffmpeg to convert audio file formats such as MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, etc. into .WAV files. The latter can then be parsed without too much difficulty. Google ".wav format" for details of the .WAV specification.

  • Thanks for the reply. I know wav file. What I don't know: 1. Do you convert a sould file into this visual form?

    or 2. Do you convert the digital scores into this visual form?

  • 1. sound file -> visual form.

  • How can I do it with one of my piece?

    It is great!

  • gouldberg ?

  • but I just noticed nearly the whole keyboard is vibrating each note. maybe just GATE the display by suppressing any animation if the velocity/gain isn't above a certain threshold?
