(Wait until they go ON SALE - they go on sale often!!!!!)
Imitone is audio software that can run standalone or as a plugin (VST) inside your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Imitone converts incoming audio signals - humming, whistling, or even another instrument - into MIDI notes that can then be played through your chosen virtual instrument!
This way of producing music - literally humming what's in your head - is invaluable to people like me who can't play well and don't yet know musical composition.
I make regular videos with the help of direct support.

No way Crafsman said he ain’t a musician. Every single one of his beats are iconic. Perfection all the time!
I was thinking the same thing!
I agree... "Don't forget to wear your dust mask" is so good!
100%
just on a different level than everyone else
Frfr and/or no cap and/or 💯
The most forceful thing about this is how when CM uses a new tool, no matter what one, it results in his own unmistakable sweet style. Gifts from God. Lucky us.
Absolutely wild to me that I first found you when I was looking for ways to transfer images to wood (polycrylic shoutout!), stuck around for your pure effortless charm, and now I'm watching these masterfully produced videos! Vive le Craftsman, forever x
Similar - began watching clay videos, glue, craft methods.....immediately hooked & watch 'em all. Rewatch sometimes. Even things I have no intention of doing (sorry, but I have trouble with radio! And I'm so bad I can't even hum a tune). But enjoyed the video anyway. Can a person just be asmr?
Every video is quality. Easily one of my favorite RUclips channels
This is one of those inventions that’s like, “… How did *NOBODY* think of making this thing before!?”
Evan is a certified genius!
For the record, lots of people have had the same idea! At least 3-4 dozen tools like this have been built, going back to the 1980s. The actual hangup is that voice pitch tracking takes years of work to fine tune, so most of these projects didn't stay afloat long enough to reach maturity. I started making imitone in 2013-ish, and there are still several stops left on the roadmap for completing the tech.
@@imitone_team Oh, nice!
@imitone_team Any chance you guys make this software available on steam? My bank makes it really hard to use things like itch and humble 😫
Really proud of your progress in Reaper Crafs! Seems like only yesterday (years ago...) that I commented and let you in on the media explorer! Have owned imitone since it first released like a decade ago and I have to say...this right here the BEST tutorial out to this day. Keep it steady my friend!
Wow - thank you so much for this! I mean it. And thank you for watching!
Just played one of y'all's videos - you guys sound super nice!!!!!
@@TheCrafsMan I have been overwhelmingly humbled my friend! Such a long time has passed since my heart last felt so filled on up. 🤩
That was a band of local pals from JXN that we streamed live one evening in our old studio spot. Soon enough we will unload the archives. Decades worth of personal songcraftin’ & timelines alongside a personal life journey.
Hopefully when we next meet we will have made you truly proud!
Happy Holidays to you and yours crafs. Stay the sweetest homie.
Crafsman! I figured out why you always wear gloves; it's to hold all that talent in.
Also, Crafsman! Don't you know singing is like dancing; it don't matter if you can or not, just do it.
That "cat" sounded like a Wookie!
Don't forget to wear your dust mask will forever be burned into my brain as Crafsman's greatest creation
I start singing it randomly without realizing it sometimes.
During the worst of Covid, I'd hear it every time I saw people.
Ooh yes you are talking to me! I often have melodies in my mind But don’t know how to make it 😊
You say you aren't a musician, but I strongly disagree. You are a true Renaissance man.
Looking at the view velocity, im thinking a crafsman in the thumbnail makes a big difference 👀 love this video and the breakdown at the beginning to make something digital tangible!
Nobody can imitone your creative qualities, Crafsman! I appreciate that you show off these new tools and techniques in an approachable way. So much of the creative process is really just playing around and seeing what works.
Oh...that's why i suck at making things...
My mind has literally burst itself through the top of my skull and splattered itself up on the ceiling. Crafsman you have blown my mind!
It’s rare I watch a video that gives me that extreme inspirational itch. I need to give this a try! Thank you
Hey Crafsman, long time subscriber and fan
The craftsman stopped popping up on my RUclips. Good the see him pop up again.
Nobody is like CrasfMan, NOBODY! 🐯👍
Craftsman; I would definitely listen to you narrate a book.
He did some of the Frog and Toad books. It was excellent
Talent comes in many forms, for each person. You say you can’t sing; ok that. Is. Fine. But you comprehend music and it’s accompanying technology and theory very well. Many PAID musicians can’t do what you’re doing here. Crafsman, you ARE a musical marvel and you are influencing me with each musical addition in your videos. You are QUITE talented indeed. You continue to show your curiosity’s prowess. I believe your power is limitless. Craft on, steady. 😌
What a better way to start the day than with Crafsman AND REAPER!
Your videos always make my day better and this was perfect.
Dude. Wow. I'm sold. In the last year I've been learning clawhammer banjo and bass. Both a jazz bass and a fretless bass ukulele that I'm trying to restore. Yes, I have ADHD, if it weren't obvious. I know maybe I'm being impatient, but I love music and I want to make some myself but it's a bit overwhelming! So this couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you!
Just wanted to let you know this comment RESONATED. :) P.S. I sometimes play my 4-string baritone ukulele clawhammer style, since I first learned to play on banjo.
LOL - I still do the full bump-dit-ty stroke, although I have no 5th/top string for my thumb to pluck. :D
@@TheCrafsMan I'd love to hear some Crafsman banjo playing. It's one of my favorite instruments, but I don't have the fingers to play it. Though I may try with Imitone.
I'm sorry CrafsMan, RUclips did not tell me you released any videos! I have a backlog! Love you!
It's been years since I've been a subscriber. And it's amazing to see that this once small channel has shaped up. Influencing hopefully the action figure market in North America. Because i knows from the outset that this channel was one of the best on RUclips 😂❤
I wanna LIKE this video more than once. I can't believe I haven't heard of this plugin. While there ARE plugins that do this same thing (sorta), they're not generally accessible. They're relatively hard to use. This one is easy. Another top-notch video
I’m a total midi nerd and I love that you made this video. I personally use some software called Jam Origin Midi Guitar 2. It allows me to convert my guitar audio signal to midi(and I would imagine it would work with processing vocals as well, but I’ve never tried). Many products have been developed as electronic midi guitar instruments or special pickups or pedals to achieve the same result, but this works with any standard guitar or even other stringed instruments depending on their range. It’s a load of fun to be able to play a piano or keyboard part with a guitar.
Crafsman is making it worth the risk in the intro XD
I love your unique take on music-making. A great twist on crafting, love it!!!
I used an Imitone once. I hadn't sung but three notes when it said "Fer the love of Pete! Please stop singing, and never do it again." Then it made some popping noises and started smoking.
Truly the most unique RUclipsr around
So much information in this vid! I've wanted to play with music before, but had no idea how to start. Thanks for another craftin' outlet!
Great stuff - I myself muck around in Garageband and make my own 'soundscapes'. It's very relaxing and time just flies by as you get involved with your creation.
Dear Crafsman, no video has ever begged for the use of a kazoo more than this one.
I haven't heard that Trio song since 1986 in the undergound dance clubs in Houston...that's when the X was really really gooooood! Lots of good memories from that time :)
Oh cool, Crafsman is a Daniel Johnston fan! Awesome video.
Absolutely loved the 32 bit shop intro!
Reaper is the best! It's by the same guy who made WinAmp.
0:06 Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...?
2:31 It just kicked in my head from those first couple of beats! Da-Da-Da! Do-do-do-do-dooooooooo! Da-da-da!
16:23 What was that voice?
20:10 That site looks interesting!
29:06 I get it what you are saying, but still a funny moment.
Reaper is so worth the price! :)
@4:54, the captions should read as follows: for people who aren't musicians like Mr. Crafsman [is a musician].
TheCrafsman laying down the beats. Nice
Watching this brought back waves of "college-days" Nostalgia to my Maker, when some of his suitemates would be workin' in "Cakewalk". #DADADA
Fun fact: a piano is a percussion instrument because the player strikes the keys and the hammers that they lever strike the strings. Yes I was surprised too but when my pianist dad was in the royal marines band he was assigned the drum as the closet instrument to his. 🎵
Your ukulele playing is beautiful, as is your music. Soul food for the ears.
Achtung crafting full velocity 🎵🎶
Freaking coolest thing I've seen since learning about midi 🤩
I just recently got a midi keyboard and found I have an idea but like you have a lack of music theory so not only the imitone plug in but the key plug in will help a bunch. Thanks a bunch crafsman!
Crafsman and music, match made in heaven!
@TheCrafsMan, Thank you for introducing us to this cool IMITONE instrument! I'm sure I'm not the only one out here who would like to see more of your music making videos... especially if the IMITONE and MicroKorg is involved. That was a MicroKorg at 25:45 wasn't it? (another cool instrument!) 🙂 I'm looking forward to your next creative video adventure.
This is SUCH a game changer. I always wanted to create music for my songs, but I could never figure out instruments xD
Beautiful cover song.
This is such a great video! I love watching you apply your skill and creativity to tools like this. Thanks as always for the inspiration!
I'm pretty sure that if Crafsman was my uncle, and I could visit his house every day, I'd never be depressed again.
Great video, Crafsman! I loved your cover of True Love Will Find You and your ukulele playing was great!
I have been looking for something exactly like this for ages!! Thanks Crafsman!
This is so cool! Im going to try this for FL Studio
This is beyond cool... you continue to bring us amazing things, Crafsman!
SOLD! and Yay for REAPER ~~>
I hope you enjoy imotone as much as I do! :D
Thank you for watching!
You make it seem so easy. good one Craftsman👍👍
Extremely fascinating
I used to have the synsonic drums back in the 90's, So much fun!
CrafsMan you rule, thanks so much for all the amazing content
I'm always impressed that you can learn these very powerful pro software tools.
As soon as I saw the sock puppet, I subscribed
This was so interesting! I love your cover!
Thank you Crafsman, for being you, and for brightening up my day.
This video is awesome! thank you so much for making these type of videos! :)
Real cool lots of options
Fascinating to watch and listen. My brain got a little full, will be rewatching later. Keep up the good work! Aloha
Craftsman steady AWESOME!!!!!
You're so great👍
Thank you
Great visuals I watch all your vids, especially the insight into explaining how things work with patience and wit is so calming to my own productivity. I always rewatch your mold castings and stop motion videos. Those 80’s dollar bin figures are gems.
I just watch for the mental health boost, but I'm starting to dig the projects too.
This is amazing, I was looking into making music from humming for those who are trying to avoid CopyRight Strikes. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Craftman the ultimate digital YouTubing handyman -- can do it all bro!! Big props!!
Def a lot of playing around with these tools, i'm sure...plus some knowledge and appreciation for the craft :)
Yes a new Crafsman!!! 🤩
Love this!
This is the earliest I’ve ever seen a video
Loving this!
You are so talented crafsman
Most excellent!
I’m totally a musician, and I still very much want that!!! Beats the old “hum at the tuner” method for sure! Really cool!!!
Loved the video. :)
Thank you so much for demonstrating.
Even if you couldn't carry a tune, your voice is still easy on the ears. :)
Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for this!
Well, this was way over my head, but I could listen to Crafsman all day, anyway!
The track you made makes me think of a relaxing computer game, like the music for Stardew Valley.
I am from Germany and can confirm: Da Da Da is still number 1
You make some crunchy beats, Crafsman. 👍
That is beautiful! I would listen to this it was on a music platform if I could!!
thanks steady, pre-ordered my full version via your discount link and I'm messing around with the beta edition now!
I think i didn't quite understood what was going on until about half way through and then i was like... That's amazing
"horn" was good but "oboe" is where I lost it 😂
I recall a lot time ago a device that was supposed to work similarly to Imitone. It had a mic on one and and a little box in the middle for controls and electronics or something, and this Imitone software re-creats what that was meant to do but better. It's very much something I'd been chasing for a while in my efforts to make music without a lick of musical knowledge. Add in all these other technical wonders like Midi and you can do even more than you set out to do.
even tho i know pretty much everything that CrafsMan is talking about (music theory wise), these music videos are still nice to watch :P its delightful to see how he makes his iconic bops, the music in all the videos are always a really nice vibe brining everything together
All hail CrafsMan
dropped to #3 for a bit in the 90's, think its #1 again though. This is what you got to know.
i love you crafsman, youre still my senpai
I love you crafsman
Nice vintage book it sticker
So, as the Imitone-Team mentioned in an answer of a comment - I got some nice results(for that time) with my 80's Korg DVP-1 in the 90's with some workarounds. Don't forget for example the audio to midi function in Cubase that exists for years now. Didn't used it in realtime and can't compare this in realation of latency and quality with IMITONE.
But I'm using for years a product (microphone+software) called "Vochlea", that works very well.
Oh, and of course you should definitely mention this - it doesn't mean that the melody you have in your head is actually notated as midi notes. How many people can have melodies 'in their head' but can't articulate them? A lot. So the title "Mind to Melody" is quite (absolutely) wrong.
Oh man. Now I'll have to try that.
