Re: vst [audio >> mid]

The ability of converting an audio file into MIDI data is a lot more  
common in contemporary music software than converting a real-time  
audio stream into MIDI data. I have tried converting files to MIDI  
note data plus controllers with Celemony and it worked extremely  
well. But since you ask specifically for the VST format, I'm not sure  
I can recommend Celomony. Check with their website if they offer it  
as VST. It's a quite expensive as well.

I have also used the audio file to MIDI note conversion that is built  
into Apple Logic and it works well. Not "extremely" well, as with  
Celemony that can also add CC's for vibrato etc) but good enough for  
tricks like creating a MIDI sequence out of a lead vocal recording  
and patch up some string synth sound to double the vocal melody.

I'm talking only monophonic signals here. Although Celemony boasts  
polyphonic conversion in their new plug-in, but I have not had the  
time to test that yet.
