Hi all,
Is it possible to create a music identifier. I want it so that if you play a midi or mpeg on this program, the program can identify the notes played and how long their played and create sheet music. Is there some kind of tuner tool to identify the frequency of the notes and put a mark on the music every time it hears a note?
start looking at various ActiveX controls. do a search on google.
lol... I don't even know what ActiveX does. I'm not familar with many programming terms... Thanks anyways... Maybe you can find a ActiveX download for me(send me a url) and walk me through using it?
hehe... I'm not a programmer either, and a lot of terms and stuff posted in these forums cause my eyes to glaze over.
you have an ActiveX object in MMF2. It can extend the functionality of MMF by giving you access to other controls... I look at it as providing more objects to work with. The catch is that if you use an ActiveX control in your app, you'll have to make sure anyone who uses your app also has that control (either is already on their machine, or you put it on there with your installer). Check out the following link to learn more.

I have thought of the same type of program before and did some reseach on active x too. Sorry to say I don't think it's going to happen.
Only way to do this I think will be to.
1. record the sound to a graph maybe using overlay (I think Andos made a example like that years ago).
2. Work out on the graph what freq. each part of the graph is running at.
3. Then work out the notes for each freq.(thats the easy part)
4. I dont think an app will be able to calculate all these things while the song is playing; you will have to do it in parts.
I hope this helps.
It would certainly be possible for MIDIs or the MOD family as the files contain the note information (though I'm not actually sure if there's an easy way to extract it short of writing a tracker yourself). For MPEG files... good luck!
A midi software like this already exists maybe you can get some idea.

A MIDI file is rather easy to read. The problem is creating the sound.
Ah, I've just read the top post again - if you specifically want it to react to the sound of the notes being played rather than the information in the file itself, that's a lot more difficult.
ok well thanks for your replies. I'll try to find a way. Btw what do you mean raytrace by "the problem is creating the sound"?
