So this morning I was searching for a software that turns audio tracks into MIDI notes and I came across a little program called WIDI Audio to MIDI. What I wanted to do was take a track and turn the Ohm64 into a “player piano” so the LED’s would blink when a note was playing. I did a quick look into my itunes library and took a Coltrane track (I almost chose “Total Soul Future” from Beck, but I needed more piano). After opening the track in WIDI, I connected my Ohm64 and here is the result.

Pointless? Perhaps, but still pretty cool. I actually have it playing at my desk all day with John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” and it does add to the free jazz philosophy of Coltrane.
