Polyphonic audio to midi

I believe I saw a studio one video where they had an Audio example, and the DAW was able to tell that it was a G minor chord.

This is essentially what reasons audio to midi function does. But reason does it better with pluck sounds and monophonic lines. I’d love to see what chords my favorite artists use

This would be very helpful to deconstruct sayyyy trance songs.

Iv found that making a polyphonic supersaw patch is only half of the battle
Supersaw sounds can generally only sound as good as the music that they are being played (for the most part).
Listen to tiesto or kshmr for examples of great uses of supersaw chord progressions

So with that being said, it would be cool to see Reason get this feature to help with the further understanding of music production:)

If you open up the audio clip in "note edit" mode before dragging it to an instrument/MIDI track, Reason will do it's best interpretation of the audio clip and provide a polyphonic MIDI clip as a result. Is this what you are talking about?

Not sure I follow what you mean here.

Note Edit?

There's Slice Edit, Pitch Edit and Comp Edit, what's Note Edit?

They probably meant pitch edit?

You put your response inside my quote.

How d'ya open up Pitch Edit before you've dragged the sample onto a track?

Lol, that is true, I did that. Not good with forums, quotes, and such.

I think they mean, the track is on the sequencer as audio, you open pitch edit mode, then bounce to midi. I think this is what they meant (the user you were answering to in the first place).

But either way it's only monophonic material that can be bounced or pitch corrected.

Ableton Live can do it. Not always perfect on busy and complex harmonies. It's a great feature though, you can create midi out of audio. Also for rhythm it works nicely. Real acoustic grooves > midi parts.

I meant "Pitch Edit". Apologies. This causes Reason to analyze the various note pitches within the clip. Then when you drag to a midi channel, the result will be midi notes derived from the pitch analysis of the audio clip (this is still monophonic). I was wrong in my original post. Sorry.
