The technology and algorithms have been out there for awhile now and it seems like we're just getting around to implementing it into some viable realtime processors. I feel like these guy's are SO CLOSE to getting what I want to mess around with. TarsosDSP features an implementation of a percussion onset detector and a number of pitch detection algorithms: YIN, the Mcleod Pitch method and a Dynamic. I also saw "Imitone" imitone: mind to melody and "MIDI Merlin" which seems exactly what I'm looking for but are still in development. Spectrotune is unfortunately for OS X only and I'm on windows machine so I can't give it a run for it's money. ![]() I looked around but haven't been able to find any software that's promising, except for a program that's been off/on in development which goes by the name of "spectrotune". But for simple monophonic instruments, like a bass guitar, I could see it being possible. Polyphonic signals obviously wouldn't work very well. I understand that is a very advanced and difficult utility to program and has lots of room for error. I wanted to tack this a step further and use Realtime Pitch Detection, similar to 'autotune' but with outputing midi notes on a bass guitar to use through a sampler or other virtual instruments. It also saves me from going out and buying one of those expensive mic to midi hardware packages. ![]() Thing works great for performances and it's a lot of fun to use. It works by using an Audio threshold Send device which triggers a Receive signal device on a midi track. I found an awesome open source Audio to Midi device using Ableton's Max 4 Live.
