Sloppy copy

Posted by Tim Cole on 16th March 2008

I keep wanting to get around to trying a technique I call “sloppy copy”. This is basically having an audio track going in the background, and using an audio to MIDI plugin to then extract some MIDI information from it. I then want to feed that into noatikl to get it to compose around that data. At the back of my mind is that I want to try this with some of my guitar work. However, I think this could also be fun with other tracks, and it would be interesting to see what noatikl could come up with!

The interesting thing about this technique is that it is really nothing at all to do with copying (i.e. a one to one process). It is more a case of indirection, where the underlying element can be used to create a one to many relationship.

Anyhow, I am looking forward to trying it….

intermorphic progress

Posted by Tim Cole on 16th March 2008

Ever since intermorphic.com launched noatikl and liptikl in early December and got its store online Xmas eve, it has been busy moving things forward. There is always too much for it to do, and what Pete has been able to do with the software is simply incredible. Fingers crossed that some of the stuff being worked on now gets out of the labs sooner rather than later…. :)
