Audio filters to convert words to melody?

[Laszlo Kovacs]

Hi,

What I’d try:
get some audio from the kids words, so long that the longest note you want. Apply pitch change to it, the change you apply:
1 half note higher
-1 half not lower
12 an octave higher
-12 an octave lower

So, having many instences of that audio (each for a note in the melody) you can create the melody.
:)))

Have a nice time, as it will take a long :)))

That sounds interesting but I’m afraid I did not follow.

Do you apply the pitch shift and generate a new track and then apply the next one, or can you just cascade the pitch shift effect?

Also, what did you mean by “for each note in the melody”? My objective is to take a voice only track and “mask” the voices so that you can hear the melody but not hear the words any more.

I experimented a little and got some really funky sounds but I either completely ruined the melody or you could still hear the words.

Thanks for the help… can you elaborate?

Hi,

I completely misunderstood.
I thought you’d want to make a melody from a given piece of sound.

So now, I see (if I’m correct) the children are singing, and you want to keep that melody, just hide the text they sing?

If so, I would first play with reverb/flange or chours, resonant filters.
Also I’d triple the audio track and set on an octave higher, the other below.

Sorry no time to test now, these are just ideas, may be wrong.

But if you really need, I’d do something until monday 😉
