midiAuralizer

This GUI allows to easily render MIDI- to Audiofiles through VST-Instruments and was developed for the Projects DISKOS (BMBF) and MODAVIS (PhD). All parameters that have been set in the Instrument can be traced in a Protocol (JSON), including Hashcodes for every Audio- and MIDI-File to identify them for further management and processing.
_{Note: VST-Instruments only work on Windows, Support for Mac OS & Linux will be added soon (including Audio Units and SoundFonts)!}
