i'm a new max/msp user and i'd like to build a frequency analyzer which will analyze the frequency of a sound coming in through a microphone and output as a floating point number the frequency of the incoming signal. i would then use this to trigger different processes. any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The [fiddle~] external object already does this. You can find it here:

There is a pdf file on that page in with the [bonk~] downloads which might be worth reading if you're interested in how it works. Sounds like an extremely adventurous project for a beginner so good luck!

fiddle~ is an awesome way of going about this.

Assuming the signal you give it is a single note, it actually tracks quite 

well. If you want to use multiple sounds incoming to trigger multiple 

sounds in software, bonk~'s multi drum mode is quite wicked. I actually 

used it with success in mapping beatboxing to midi drums with a little 

Easy to find online if you search "Miller Puckette Fiddle". I'm not a big 

fan of using externals (less externals usually means more stable), but 

fiddle~, bonk~, centroid~ and PeRColate~ are just too fun/useful to
