Junction

Junction from Fretted Synth grabs a single musical line and translates its pitch and timing into MIDI so you can edit, quantize, or route it to any virtual instrument. Running as a VST2 on Windows, it listens to one incoming channel, tracks the melody, and emits note and velocity data in real time with adjustable sensitivity and smoothing.

Use Junction to extract melodies from guitars, synth leads, or vocal runs and repurpose them as MIDI clips, layer synths over solos, or drive arpeggiators and sequencers. It’s built for producers and live performers who want a fast bridge between audio improvisation and MIDI workflow. Key features include:

• Realtime pitch tracking and note output with latency-conscious performance
• Controls for detection threshold, note smoothing, and octave transposition
• Velocity follow and gate length shaping for expressive MIDI playback
• Simple VST2 setup for easy routing into your DAW and virtual instruments
