Overview

Name | Version: Data MIDI 1.1
Author: ManifestAudioLLC
Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: What if you could transform raw data into MIDI sequences? Data can be typed in manually, randomly generated, or copied and pasted from any text, website, Google Sheet, CSV, Excel file, or basically anywhere to embody a string of numbers as change over time. Then select and loop the data as you like, with the lowest data value automatically corresponding to your lowest allowed output, and the highest data point automatically corresponding to your specified upper output limit — be it note pitch, velocity, or length.

Trigger data at any factored or fractional metrical base rate with optional cycle reset for a wide variety of rhythmic patterns. Offset delay and swing further enhance MIDI output timing. You can also trigger data at a millisecond rate for more abstracted results, or via arbitrary note input.

A variety of trigger modes allow you to engage with Data MIDI’s output in a variety of ways, all of which can be constrained via 69 scales in any key, set locally or via the included Global Hub utility. Better yet, you can expand or contract the range of data pitch, velocity, or length output in real time to dynamically express the data in highly musical ways. Data can also be Gated to only output MIDI above or below a certain threshold for more rhythmically complex output.

Not sure what data to use? Sites like Our World In Data are a great place to start. You can also type in personally meaningful numbers — or an arbitrary string of data can also be randomized from scratch within each device to easily generate infinite sequences and patterns.

A groundbreaking set of tools for artists and producers, Sonification Tools allow you to embed real-world phenomena into your creative process — and express those phenomena as uniquely as you wish, giving them a voice through your music, and inspiring newly meaningful approaches in the process.
