Hey guys and girls, I was just wondering if anyone knew where I can find sheet music from Circa Survive instead of just tabs. If they have any sheet music out, or if someone can link me to something, maybe something they wrote out, that would be fantasmic. I really need this for a design/project I'm working on. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help out.

Thanks in advance,

thieves

No, I don't. But I do know that someone made a .midi version of Act Appalled. You might be able to download some type of sheet music composition software and open this .midi file and tweek it if need be.

thanks september, I'll see what I can do with this.

[thieves]

does anyone have any other info? It would really be a great help to me.

I tried doing what you suggested september but I just couldn't get it to work.

Please? anyone?

There are many apps that can do this.

1. Go to http://www.notation.com/Download.htm
2. Download "Notation Composer Trial" with/without User's Guide
3. Install and run said program
4. Click on "Open a MIDI or Notation File On My Computer"
5. Find and open "circa.mid"

There it is. The sheet music for the Circa Survive song "Act Appalled"
All parts scored for the conductor.

TabIt MIDI - Track 1 is Brendan's Guitar part
TabIt MIDI - Track 2 is Colin's Guitar part
TabIt MIDI - Track 3 is Nick's Bass part
TabIt MIDI - Track 4 are Steve's Drum parts (*more on this)
TabIt MIDI - Track 5 is Anthony's Vocal Part

It doesn't notate the inflections or strum patterns.
It does, however, have the notes in time and in pitch [90+ % of the work]

*All that is left is for you to do is solo (mute all other parts) the drum part and write down which line is kick/snr/hh/ride/crash/toms/etc.
& write out the lyrics along with the vocal part.

I think this program has the ability to separate the parts into gtr1/gtr2/bss/drms/vox
You can print it as sheet music.

I don't know who made this .midi file. i don't think its perfect but it is pretty close.

its a 30-day free trial on this software. if you took a little time to learn how to use it you could clean things up a bit and add the song title/band title/lyrics/etc all within the software and could make it look pretty legit.

here's "circa.mid" once again: http://www.mediafire.com/?p9ge4kxdzth

this is how mine looked:


let me know how the design/project works out. gl

wow. you're a badass september. I was wondering though. would I have to create/compose my own music for a different song? or is there a way I can play the track through said program and have it write for me?

You would be able to compose with this software with your mouse.
If you wanted to play it in real time with a guitar, as far as I know, you would need a hexidecimal pickup or some other midi controller (keyboard/sequencer). There might be a realtime .wav to .midi converter, i just dont know.

No, I seriously doubt this app can do that. I know there are ways to do it.

Converting a 2-channel (stereo) song, down to each instrument would be very problematic, yet possible.

this would be along the lines of a

#1 specific-frequency-band multi-channel audio filtering device coupled with a
#2 pitch/duration analyzer that saves or converts to midi.

The process #1 conducts might officially be called "Score-Informed Source Separation" and
#2 would simply be a .wav to .midi converter.

#1 I don't know anything about it as a product. I believe its still in the research/development stages.
It could be built but might be difficult to fine tune from an engineering standpoint.  
I would think it would have trouble separating strange chords.
(Especially if there are 2 or more guitars both playing chords and the stereo recording is not panned hard)

#2 is widely available online: (one of many examples/might be crap) (.wav to .midi converter)
http://www.pluto.dti...ki/amazingmidi/

For best/easiest results, you would want to have each instrument as a seperate track (gtr/gtr/bss/drms/vox) to begin with.
(to bypass the #1 filtering device).

experiment with various wav to midi converters if you want to get out of manually sequencing/transcribing.

i don't know if there's anything to these .tab to .midi converters (.tab = tablature file?)

Good Luck!

These types of these extreme audio devices are being worked on as we speak.
I remember years ago hearing about a thing that was a vocal-timbre replication synthesizer.
Vocal timbre is the distinct and unique qualities/characteristics/nuances of your voice.
Basicly it would be like a guitar pedal that when you plug in your mic to it and sing, you would sound like someone else.
The singer would have to submit many many samples of their singing voice at different pitches and inflections and intensities for it to be a true replication synth device and would be similar to training voice recognition software.

Imagine the Anthony Green Vocal Pedal. Talk about identity theft.
