amplitude envelopes using a pitch tracker

tflood's icon

Hi Everyone,

I have been using Tristan Jehan's pitch~ object to track the input
pitch from my bass guitar. Cycle~ then outputs a sine wave at the same
pitch. The amplitude envelope is set using 'breakpoint' (see example),
but I am wondering: is there any way to 'track' the amplitude envelope
of the bass guitar directly?

Thank you,

-Tim

Hi Tim,

Here's a basic envelope follower you can insert into your patch.
Nothing fancy, but gets the job done.

Good luck,

Steven

I'm on an Intel Mac, so I can't test pitch~, but I bet the amplitude output of pitch~ is pretty close to what you need. You may want to do some smoothing or other integration on it, but it should be in the ballpark.

I am very new to Max/MSP but have been interested in using a pitch tracker as well. I know this is VERY basic, but i had a question regarding the patches that have been posted, when I open the patch in Max/MSP and there is an inlet and an outlet at either end of the patch, how do I go about sending my guitar signal/line in to the patch to make a sound? I tried using the patches from this thread in a sub patch but i think i'm just a little confused about this. Thank you all for your help in advance!

Best,
Julian

personally i would use adc~ for input and output using a
signal level fader to dac~

I'd personally just recommend to read the tutorials...
(Things which are too basic provoke it... ;-)

at least you did not recommend to "do it with java", this time.
