Howdy,

 First, you need a pitch to CV module, then an
envelope follower. Then patch them in to a CVto midi
adapter and bob's your uncle. i have a schemo for he
pitch to Cv part, envelope follwers can be found
anywhere an excellent kit can be bought from Paia but
will need a gate extractor, and CV to midi is
available from Paia also.

Hi everybody,

I want to use my voice as a MIDI controller (i've
always been one to  
push the envelope, so to speak).  I know, I could
use a vocoder, but  
that limits to the presets available, usually.  I
want to be able to  
control any MIDI instrument that is out there with
my voice, and not  
rely solely on the vocoder patches that are
available.

Hey, i know people are working on this (engineers
and so forth), and  
it may be 10 years out, but I had a thought I wanted
to run by some of  
you "makers" and other gear techs.

Really, something like the GR-20 just needs a signal
to hit the pickup  
that sounds like a guitar to it, right?  So, would
it be possible to  
use a vocal processor to make a voice sound enough
like a guitar to  
fool the GR-20 to thinking that its hearing a
guitar, and thereby  
convert the signal to MIDI controller data?  What if
you mounted a  
GR-20 to something and amplified the guitarized
voice against it to  
activate the pickup?

It really doesn't matter what the processed voice
sounds like, as long  
ast the GR-20 would think its a guitar.

Is this too crazy to work?

Michael
