Sound analysis?

Ignacia's icon

I'm a beginner and my question may seem infuriatingly simple to most, apologies! How do you create a patch to analyze a sample from a file? A live waveform graph for pitch and frequency? I'm very greatful for advice!

Check out spectroscope~. For pitch detection, you'd have to use a 3rd party external like fiddle~.

Thank you very much for your reply! Unfortunately I can't open it!!! I use max4.5 - is that why it won't open it other than as text?

Yes. Sorry, I'm using 5.1. You can still check out spectroscope~ in the help doc's. Also, sfplay~ for sample playback.
