RE: [LAU] Progressive Quantisation

Hm, my reply to munging got damaged there! Kurzweil developed a box to do this, I think as a project after selling his company to Young Chang. It was just such a PLL that would sync to the drummer so that the massively overproduced garange bands could play their music live, something that was impossible without miming the whole act. Basically the drummer would lead the tempo (some are notoriously bad at following a set tempo anyway), from that the software would derive a MIDI time code and away it went to drive the sequencers. Not sure if it caught on or even worked. Firstly garage bands became more popular than overproduced, resampled and sync'ed music, but it never worked very well with extended endings as the sequencers would become confused - they understood if the drummer wanted to change the speed for mood, or for lack of drumming abilities, however if they wanted to play an extra chorus it kind of fell apart. Have not heard of any open source examples, but, as Fons says, it is possible and would be an interesting project. If it was not Kurzweil I am certain somebody can give a pointer in the right direction.
