Hi @ PD List
I'd love to hear from anyone with some information on objects and note detection. I've been messing around with fiddle~ and sigmund~ but nothing is really precise enough. It would be fantastic to have an object that recognises pitch or pitches so as to play in chords or single notes (pitches) that then could be detected and used as needed via patches.
Any suggestions? Or maybe Miller has an idea of an object or something to add to the system that could be of use?
Big thanks in advance.
All the best Joe (Higham)

Depends on what you mean by 'precise enough'. If that means someone palying a piano piece and [someonject] spitting out exactly the notes played by the player AFAIK it is impossible with the audio input only.

It would help to have a little more background and understand the requirements. "pitch detection" can be a very broad term...

Hey,
As Lorenzo said it's as broad as it's long...
I had some recent success with sigmund~ in conjunction with William Brent's [pitchEnv~] http://williambrent.conflations.com/pages/research.html This was for a mono source only but there's no reason why you couldn't get some harmonising etc etc. in a Voyager stylee going from that.
There's also umpteen various settings and tweeks you can apply to sigmund.
As a side note I was chatting with the UoHudd hardcore-coder#1 recently who was telling me the algorithm in sigmund is about as good as it gets currently, so perhaps asking Miller to chuck something together might not be a goer:) but hey who knows.
Best wishes,
Julian
I don't know of any polyphonic pitch tracking object in Pd, but there's PolyPitch in SuperCollider. You could run it there and route the results to Pd via OSC. The quality of results will depend a lot on the kind of input signal you're trying to analyze.
