Forge Audio Designs Intros Beat to MIDI

Forge Audio Designs has announced BEAT to MIDI - a fast acting, low overhead beat detection and drum replacement tool, designed for extracting MIDI data from Drum loops.

Features:

• Detection of drum strikes and output of detections to a (defined) single MIDI note
• Supervised Pattern Matching system to identify drum instruments
• Detection of drum strikes and drum instruments with output of detections to appropriate(General MIDI defined) MIDI notes
• Automatic ratio settings to allow easy settings of thresholds

Here's what the developers have to say about BEAT to MIDI:

BEAT to MIDI allows for the correction of poorly captured or performed drum recordings after the recording session has taken place.  

BEAT to MIDI uses sophisticated algorithms to identify each drum hit (or transient) in the time domain. Once this point is detected, MIDI data can be used to trigger replacement drum samples to alleviate poor quality recordings and/or timing errors.

The plugin is the first release for Forge Audio Systems. 

Pricing and Availability

BEAT to MIDI is expected to ship in mid July. Pricing is to be announced.
