Guitar players have a hardware device (Yamaha G50 I think is the name)
that converts the picking into midi signals.

I am looking for a way to convert a "miked" analog signal from a flute
to a midi signal.  In a perfect world, I would like to have the answer
be "real-time" - so I could use it to create a "chorus" that would
play along with me.

I have access to an Echo Layla to convert an analog signal to a 20 bit
data stream.  My "gig-rig" is analog. I also have a Yamaha SPX90-II
digital effects processor.  the input is mono and the output is
stereo.  I generally like the sound of the SPX -- but the chorus is a
bit "synthetic".  I would live to attack a note with the flute and be
able to trigger a vibraphone or other instrument.

I am intending to introduce a Yamaha VL70m sound modeling box for wind
controllers very soon - so a midi signal can be "reconstructed" into a
flute sound (or any other instrument).  I recently saw a program
called "Digital Ear" and it looks like a winner. I have also heard of
AmazingMIDI and Intelliscore.

Anyone have any experience with this stuff?
Has anyone found a crack or keygen for this (these)?

Please include:

in any reply -- because I am certain to look there for responses.
Or ---- please post any cracks or usable software to:

TIA

Dear Will Smith,

The task you are speaking about is music recognition. It is not simple 
mp3 to MIDI or WAVE to MIDI conversion in opposite to, say wav to mp3 or 
  wma to wave.
Here you may read more detailed description of the problem:

We work on this problem since 1998, and have some solution. I'm sure 
that WIDI Recognition System is the best program of this kind available. 
It's not only my opinion as developer of WIDI, I have tested all 
programs you mention and many others.

I recommend you to test WIDI, it includes both MP3 to MIDI, WAVE to MIDI 
  and realtime recognition modules, as well as a special tool for 
correcting results of automated recognition (it's a unique feature in a 
programs of such kind).

You may find it at:

There is no any working cracks or serials for WIDI 3.2 -:), but I can 
give a discount coupon for it:
WIDI-S5CS
This coupon allows to save 10% when purchasing.
