MT-03 Voice to MIDI

Hum

The idea catcher. Hum, sing or whistle a line and get clean, key-snapped MIDI out: melody in your head to notes in your DAW, without touching a keyboard. The display shows every decision as it happens, so you always know why a note fired or did not.

Ripening


The Hum interface
What it does MT-03
  • 01 Tracks one voice from 60 Hz to 1.2 kHz, low hum to high whistle, and writes MIDI notes with velocity
  • 02 Key and scale snapping keeps the line in tune, by the same in-key rule as Voicings
  • 03 One sensitivity knob against an adaptive noise floor, so the gate means the same thing on any microphone
  • 04 A display that explains itself: pitch lane, gate meter, and a state chip that says why a note fired or did not
  • 05 Tightness pulls onsets onto the host grid while the transport runs
  • 06 Live and Accurate latency modes: fastest onsets, or reported latency so recorded MIDI lands in time
The idea

Hum is for the melody you would lose on the walk to the keyboard. Sing it, hum it, whistle it, and clean MIDI lands in your DAW, snapped to the key you are working in, with velocity that follows how you sang.

The display is what earns the trust: a pitch lane, a gate meter, and a state chip that says why a note fired or did not. One sensitivity knob means the same thing on any microphone, and when the take matters, Accurate mode reports its latency so the line sits exactly where you sang it.
