Dubler Studio Kit adds a fifth limb, so to speak.įurthermore, Dubler Studio Kit doesn’t use the VST or Audio Unit plugin format for integration with a DAW. Traditionally, you have to lift one hand off the keyboard to make tweaks to the sound, or use a foot pedal. Perhaps even more exciting is the way Dubler Studio Kit can be used in addition to playing an instrument, such as a synth or other keyboard, to control various parameters and effects. However, being able to create MIDI notes and other MIDI data using your voice, instead of raw and often badly recorded audio, has the advantage of being able to edit and manipulate those ideas later within MIDI, including patching the resulting MIDI data to different sounds and effects. It’s common for artists, such as singers, to make a vocal note of their melody ideas using the iPhone’s voice memo app or similar mobile recording apps. In a call with Vochlea Music founder and CEO George Wright, he explained that the Dubler Studio Kit was created in part to lower the barriers to generating and recording musical ideas, especially for those who are unable to play an instrument. While in pre-launch beta testing, Dubler Studio Kit has been used by Mercury Prize-nominated grime MC and producer Novelist, alongside other musicians and producers. A demo on the Kickstarter page shows a singer's wordless "ba bums" being converted into MIDI notes instantly.Vochlea Music demoed an early version of the technology at SXSW last year and won the festival’s pitch competition for its live vocal recognition for music making. Another advantage of Imitone, he said, is that it works in real time. And there's also Sibelius and Finale, two of the most popular music notation and composition software products for the desktop.īut Imitone is designed to be easier to use for less advanced musicians who don't want to use a MIDI keyboard, Balster said, and it can connect with major music recording products including GarageBand, Logic and Pro Tools. On the desktop, there's Digital Ear, for converting singing and other instruments into MIDI files. For smartphone users, there's ScoreCloud Express, which turns people's singing into annotated music. There are programs already available that provide some similar functions to Imitone. A version with more features, such as adjustable tuning and more visualization tools, will be made available for people who pledge at least $60.
Balster aims to launch some version of the product regardless of whether the campaign hits its US$20,000 goal.īalster aims to launch Imitone in May for Mac and Windows machines, with early access to the beta version for people who pledge at least $20. A Kickstarter campaign for the app started on Tuesday.
