MIDIMaestro is a program designed to enable musicians to convert notes played on an
instrument into MIDI messages. This can be done in real-time or from a recording of the
instrument as a file. It was developed for my third year computer science project at the
University of Southampton.

I have not put in any restrictions on this program (other than what has not been coded
yet) and it is completely free! It may NOT be distributed for profit.

This will allow a musician to play notes on an instrument and have them played back
(in real-time) in a different key, on many instruments. By converting to a MIDI file
it would also be possible to convert this to MusicTex by using Midi2Tex (aminet:
mus/midi/Midi2Tex.lha) and obtain a print out of the music in standard music notation.

MIDIMaestro also comes with a built in tuner for tuning an instrument to concert pitch.

MIDIMaestro requires any Amiga computer running OS  3.0  or  above.  For real  time 
work at least a 50 MHz 68030 processor with a 50 MHz FPU is recommended. A sound
sampler, connected to the parallel  port,  is  also required  for  real  time  work 
and  if output is to be sent to a MIDI interface then a MIDI interface is also
required. To work from sound files a datatype will have to be installed for the
particular format (datatypes for most common formats are a standard part of
Workbench).  MUI 3.0 or better is required for the user inetrface. A fast Amiga is not
required for conversion from an audio file to a MIDI file.

Versions are supplied for 68000, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68030, 68030 + FPU, and 68040. The
documentation is in AmigaGuide, PostScript, and Plain Text formats.

An Installer script is supplied for simple installation onto hard drive. For Amigas
running from floppy drives (get a hard drive!) use the Install script and simply set the
destination to a floppy disk.

I intend to develop MIDIMaestro to make it more reliable, faster and have a whole load
of new features. The following features are hoped to be implemented in future versions:

* Recognition of more MIDI messages (such as pitch bends).

* A piece of hardware to sample each string of a guitar seperately so that chords
  can be recognized.

* Real time spectrum analyzer.

* Real time oscilloscope.

* Transcribing and editing of music in standard music notation (with support for tab on
  the guitar).

* Output to Amiga sound channels as well as MIDI interface.

* Ability to select what instrument is to be used on which channel from within the
  program rather that on the MIDI equipment.

* Improved user interface.

* Improved documentation and on-line help.

* Fix some known bugs.


As can be seen I have a lot of work left to do to make this the ultimate MIDI utility on
the Amiga.

Long live the Amiga!
