thanks for the feedback, i give it a go (both amdf fine tuning and the papers peiman sent) On Thursday, December 26, 2013 at 3:53 PM, cameron bobro wrote: > Pitch tracking in Csound is superb, using the pitchamdf opcode. You can follow the pitches of acoustic sources accurately enough to track and transfer coincident partial effects and beating effects to synthesized sounds (for example the beatlessness or slow bwooonggg of simple Just intervals). > > There are a couple of catches, though, in addition to the obvious condition that pitchamdf is reading a monophonic pitch. > > First of all, the incoming sound must be clean, and that almost always means it must be prepped: bandpass is almost a must, and some compression and noise gating might be necessary too.
