New iPhone App Turns Human Beatboxing into MIDI

Via mikegao85 on YouTube:



In case you missed it over on Synthtopia. How bad-ass is this? Vocal Beater is an iPhone app that lets you "beatbox" a rhythm with your mouth, which it then turns it into a MIDI file you can load in to your sequencer of choice. Anyone used it yet? I can definitely see the next stage of this allowing you to turn your singing into an e-mail-able MIDI file in case you get a melody idea when you're out and about.

If you've got Logic, you might be able to achieve similar results, albeit in a more roundabout way, by using the drum replacer...
