Subject: Re: [motm] Guitar synthm MOTM style?

From: Ben Vehorn <ben@...>

Well, it's not polyphonic or a guitar synth, but I have something calleda Fairlight Voicetracker that works really well. It takes an audio signalin and outputs midi and CV.  The CV out gives the normal pitch, gate,and envelope as well as qualities such as brightness and purity. You canhook it up to a computer monitor and tailor the tracking response. I findit really useful to sing lead lines on my synth. The best net info I havefound is at:

I remember using one of the old IVL units years ago with an Emumodular....
you never really knew what you were going to get.  Seemedto work ok with
"pure" tones such as a flute.  No surprise there.  Justdon't play too fast!
