Hello,
Here´s an idea.
How ´bout creating a humanizing tool to convert midi files velocity to specific midi library velocity?
My problem:
I´m creating a song and want to use some old midi drum loops our drummer has played using simple midi drums.
In addition I want to use some generic midi files from some commercial libraries and then some Toontrack files.
Now, these files don´t match in velocity and my midi track sounds just awful and not like it was played by the same drummer.
Correcting the velocities by hand takes way too long.
Solution:
Would it be possible to create a tool ( inside ED2 or Superior ), where you import a reference Toontrack midi file and a file you want to be matched?
The tool would change and humanize ( randomize ) all the different instrument midi ( snare, kick, cymbals… ) to the same velocity “ballpark” than in the ref file.
So, it´s not the same as randomizing a midi file as a whole.
There could be even more options: random quantize, how to accent hi-hat or ride ( none, every other, every third… ), change the file´s closed hi-hat to the same fully open one as in ref file, etc…
…or is there any other ( fast and simple ) way to do the same?
Thanks.
