Do you think the basic version could convert a monophonic bassline accurately to midi? The reason I ask is I always wanted to be able to play a bassline and look at the notation of what I played (as a way to help learn to read better and to help my playing). Also I could then easily create a midi style with my own 'style' of bass playing.




The only problem I would forsee in that scenario is that the student may not be able to recognize something that is not printed out correctly and could therefore be learning wrong things with this method.

Problem with that one is that once a habit is learned, it takes a lot more repetition and time to "unlearn" such things.

On top of that, playing back what you already know how to play - and how it sounds - while staring at the written page will not likely do much in the way of making the student into a better sight reader. Only way I know to do that one is to bite the proverbial bullet and sit down and start slowly sight reading charts that have stuff in them that you don't exactly know how it should sound.
