Karen, There seems to be some confusion about exactly what you would like (or at least I am a little confused), so perhaps some clarification can help.

I am not sure what you mean by the term adaptive. Do you have some sight impairment like Jeanette and need tools that can accomodate that, or do you just mean a tool that can adapt to your preferred work flow? > How possible might it be to use your singing voice for composing? ... > what I mean is to sing the parts into your software of choice, then using > that software to first add the orchestrations, playback etc., then produce > that music in printable form? What exactly do you want when you use the term composing? Of course you can use a multi-track recorder and layer harmonies with your voice. By the term add orchestrations, do you mean add additional instruments in addition to your vocal parts (which is of course possible with multi-track recording), or do you mean convert the vocal parts into other instrumentation? Do you want to convert to MIDI data to drive synthesizers or samplers to mimic traditional orchestration? And preferably convert to conventional music notation as a final step? Depending on what workflow you would like, I suspect that pitch-to-MIDI may be the term you are looking for. That would involve recording a vocal part, sending to pitch-to-MIDI to convert to MIDI data, then editing that data to correct any errors in transcription, shift up or down by octaves to account for differences between vocal range and instrument range, add details which are difficult to sing, etc. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
