Connecting C++ libraries
Hello!
I came across a max device where the author uses a desktop app for key detection, is it possible to implement the library into my max patch?
It's worth mentioning that I'm looking for a simple way since I don't know programming.
Or how can I repeat this trick with desktop app?
I guess this M4L use a communication protocol with the desktop app (UDP or OSC I guess?) to sort of use it as an API. The author of this app and the underlying library could have built a Max external out of this library, but I guess they found much simpler to just implement a communication protocol in the existing app.
If the author (which seem to be quite proficient in programming) didn't ported their library into a Max external, then you'll most likely wont be abe to do so.
Or how can I repeat this trick with desktop app?
Buy the device and look into it?
Oh, and if with this method you want to track the pitch of kicks or bass synth samples as you described in this post, I think you're going in the wrong direction. Detecting the key of a whole song is very different problem.
