A Note About Live Performance Mode
Thanks to advances in intelliScore technology and processor performance, it is now possible for intelliScore to listen to live audio and generate MIDI data in real time, in addition to converting audio files to MIDI files. You can connect the audio output from a non-MIDI instrument or a microphone to the audio input on your computer's sound card. As you play the instrument, intelliScore generates MIDI data and sends it to the synthesizer on the sound card or external MIDI playing device. This allows you to use your non-MIDI instrument as a MIDI controller without need of expensive hardware MIDI adapters.
When you installed intelliScore onto your system, you may have elected to install a set of project files to the Live Performance Templates sub-folder on your computer. These are predefined project files for using several common instruments in live performance mode. These project files are ready to use but can be modified to your preferences. Additionally, you can create live performance project files from scratch. To specify that you want to use live performance mode for your project, select the last option on the Obtain Audio step in the New Project Wizard, or by leaving the Audio File Name blank in the Project Editor.
Although the MIDI data is generated in real time, there is an unavoidable delay between when you play a note and that note is sent as MIDI data. IntelliScore must listen to a short piece of the note before it can determine what note it is you are playing, resulting in the delay. The duration of the delay varies depending on the speed of your microprocessor and the recognition settings you use, but cannot be less than 30 milliseconds. With monophonic audio, the delay is imperceptible. To minimize this delay, chord name detection and key detection is disabled during live performance mode. Additionally, the following settings are ignored while in live performance mode:
