Title: Music gadgets (software)
Post by: Francois de Villiers on 2005-06-22 07:50 AM
1.  There was a gadget which would transform a piece of music by transposing some of the pitches (not all by a specific number of semitones). The rhythm was not affected.
I think the input & output files were MIDI, & that Barry Graham may have mentioned it (or made it?). Now lost because of computer crash. Can someone recall it?

2.  I cannot download The Well-tempered Fractal from Fred Nachbaur's site. Can someone help? Or maybe suggest an alternative?

Thank you.

Not sure I understand your question, Francois.  Are you thinking about the (Tools/Transpose) feature within NWC, or something else altogether ?

You might have been thinking of the Van Basco Karaoke Player - it sounds as if you have used it. And if not, then this is what you want, I hope! Google will provide.

I think you mean MIDI Inverter
Its on the Scripto under MIDI Tools.

(Down the page a bit to MIDINV).

What it does is invert/mirror or expand the pitch intervals around a pivot note.
You need QBasic for it to work.

If there is enough interest I could redo it as a stand alone Basic app.

OOPS.

The program is MIDEXP.
And there is a standalone Visual Basic version by Fred Nachbaur included in the Zip.
(I'm getting old and forgetful)!

Thank you very much, Barry.
That solves my first problem. Help with the second will be much appreciated.

Thanks Lawrie, I didn't find it on my own search.
