[PD] [helmholtz~]

Hi Katja, I'm looking with great interest at your [helmholtz~] pitch tracking object. I'm not asking to be lazy (I'm going to try it out for myself!), but I'm wondering if you have any general impressions of its performance as to how it compares with [sigmund~]. I'm particularly interested as

hi phil, what are you trying to do? do you need midi from your electric bass? or just a way to make a synth in pd? i ask because i built a gr-300 emulation for bass that works very well and with almost no latency. you can drive any oscillator within pd from that. it's all signalpath though. id

Hi Simon, I've been using [sigmund~] with pretty good results, tracking the bass and using it to drive various things in a complex Pd setup. I'm always interested in alternative pitch trackers, though. I play a Steinberger XL, so I won't likely be carving it up to put in a hex pickup; that's

[helmholtz~] is probably more accurate and will show you all of the pitch fluctuations live. [sigmund~] with the argument "notes" is probably preferable, if you only want one simple value per note. On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 1:24 AM, Phil Stone wrote: > Hi Katja, > > I'm looking with great interest

but don't use it! the osc2 part is really cpu hungry in this form. i did a rewrite which is much easier and works better. however as said before the frequency-extraction is the same. On May 25, 2013, at 11:15 PM, Simon Iten wrote: > here is an old version. the interesting part is in the synth s

How would one (and how hard or easy would it be) write a patch which does the following: Instruct the user to play a sustained note on the violin; then give feedback about how accurate Helmholtz motion is achieved; Could we measure how short the transient takes from nonHelmholtz motion to helmholtz

And a different question: Just like how the different non harmonic partials are shifted and forced into a harmonic compromise in a bowed string, does something similar happen when playing simultaneous harmony? I.e. would partials on 2 strings sharing bow and bridge, say fingered at a frequency rati

Interesting idea! Might be a good idea to use a pickup, since the body resonances of the instrument will smear the helmholtz motion from the signal a bit if you use mic. Regarding your second question: There will be no phase lock across 2 strings, which is why it is possible, and even likely, t

A job for spectral tools I would guess. At the point spectral flux hits a first minimum and autocorrelation hits a first maximum, the string will be in stable resonance. You could use something fast like bonk or a schmitt trigger to time those from the onset and get a measure of "how well" the no
