How can I control external MIDI devices from my PXI Real-time system?

[Frenk]

I am trying to implement a psychoacoustic experiment using an external MIDI device that can be used to shift the pitch of a speaker's voice.

I have a 8176 controller in a 1002 chasis with the 6052E IO card. I would very much prefer to run the system in real-time mode (rather than win XP), and need to control the MIDI device through one of the interfaces on the controller.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Frenk

Hi Frenk,

one way would be an analogue to MIDI converter.
There are some out there (ask for music equipment)which can convert an analogue signal to some MIDI controller signal. This way you could control the pitch shift with an analogue output of the 6052 in realtime.

Hope this helps
Regards
