Can Melodyne (or for that matter anything else) even isolate the synth within the track as it is? If so I'd really love to see that, even though I doubt it a bit ;). And yup, you can isolate anything you want to here, and more than that, I mean you can do anything even senseless stuff, you can even try to turn a sound into a whole nother unrelated sound hehe.

Yup, but it doesn't have the power of editing it with Photoshop, it's more basic ;).

The next version of Melodybe, called Melodyne DNA I believe can. It can even break apart notes in chords so you change stuff from major to minor.

Insane right?

I know that is why I posted in the thread. Save it for later.

It doesn't do that. They even tell you that you should be working on a track with a single instrument and preferably no FX. It is still pretty amazing but not that amazing. Is it ever even going to come out I wonder? It seems like the boards have been discussing that program for forever.

I knew about notes in chords, it's actually not too hard to identify/separate, but any program that claims to be able to automatically separate from samples like what I did I'd like to see, because it's impossible to a certain extent i.e. I had to recreate bits of the synth that were literally gone.

Haha awesome! That's quite the sort of thing I had in mind. I need to grab a hold of whatever recording they're talking about.

Not that I'm tired of people saying "pfft X did it before", but how does beep map come anywhere close to filtering instruments out of music?

did you write this/make it ? or just good at using it/photocopy ?

Im sure someone will sort you out a copy, you can be a god in the breakdigging world !

Yep I'm the one guy behind it all. I'm myself only mildly interested in break digging, I'm more interested in learning to paint my own sound, although I'd surely love to be commissioned for break sampling related tasks ;-).

Render out the spectrogram, take it into photoshop, isolate the melodic line + harmonics, load it into the beep map. See what you get.
You try that and tell me how it compares ;-). Photosounder, in lossless mode, does lossless time-frequency domain filtering, that's why it's called lossless, cause.. it's lossless! :)

BeepMap just uses sine synthesis/noise synthesis (a non-optimal kind of) and therefore would lose greatly in quality.

RESPECT! A_SN for knocking out this incredible piece of software, have you any other things in the pipeline or already out too?

For real, this looks awesome. Please let me know when a UB Mac version drops!

Right now I'm sticking to only deving on Photosounder, the next big thing for it being higher resolution sound to image algorithms, I'm considering spin-off programs doing something specific just right, but not working on any such thing right now.

It is defiantly brilliant. Big up for that. I am a bit disappointed to come to the conclusion it is slightly over my head :lol:
