RABid Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 I have a song in my head that I would like to put onto midi. The song is piano based and the tempo is constantly changing. Is there a program that will follow my playing, record it into midi, and keep track of tempo changes? I cannot find that feature in Sonar, though I may be overlooking it. I thought about turning off the click track and just recording into Sonar without using notation screen. In short, ignoring any predefined measure length or tempo. If I do it this way I can record all parts but I will never be able to print notation. It would also throw off any effects defined to follow midi tempo. Any other suggestions?

Gus Lozada Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 One upon a time there was something called "FREE STYLE, the trackless sequencer". I don't remember if it was from OPCODE (RIP) or MOTU... Perhaps I am wrong but it was supposed to do exactly what you ask.

Freestyle is distributed by MOTU, and it does, in fact, adjust it's tempo to follow the player. It's actually prettty good at it, too... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevush Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 There used to be a "tap tempo" feature in Cakewalk. You could use it while recording or apply later to create a tempo map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you can do in SONAR is to first create a TEMPO MAP. It's very easy to draw -it allows curves- tempo changes instead of inserting TEMPO change commands. You can predefine tempo changes over time, then start recording. It will -of course- give you the "click" to follow it according to what you defined.
