Audio Signal - Voice vs. Guitar - Change Settings

If I want to (for example) feed a VOICE audio signal into JO, are there any BIG reasons this will fail?

btw, I am not looking to have words/lyrics come thru, but would like to experiment singing a la la la melody in as an Audio Signal.

Could anyone share some suggested settings (tracking? etc) to focus on that could help making a VOICE audio signal the audio input?

i’ve attempted this with a singer with excellent pitch/control/chops and was not successful.

regardless of if i asked her to sing ‘oohs’ or ‘ahs’ or whatever i could not get note to midi to work for more than a note or two.

i believe that the primary issue is that a guitar string has very predictable physics but a vocal cord does not.

i hate to discourage anyone from trying something new, so please do experiment with the trial. but i would not recommend purchasing mg3 for use with vocals.

You have saved me a bunch of experimenting. THANK YOU for the quick REPLY!

I will now explore other ways to possibly get my voice to trigger a midi instrument. (for instance, a google search says, “ Yes, Antares Auto-Tune (specifically Pro and Artist versions) features MIDI functionality that can detect vocal pitch and output it as MIDI data, though it is primarily designed to receive MIDI to control the pitch (Target Notes) rather than act solely as an audio-to-MIDI converter.”

THANKS AGAIN

Hi, perhaps the voice audio to midi converter Dubler 2 from vochlea.com is something for you.
