PLL Phase Locked Loop
Im curious if anyone has implemented this or knows what it would consist of, Ive only heard of it in a few analogue modular systems, looks like it follows harmonics?
half way down is the English version and further there is a block diagram and a few sound examples. Seems like it could be cool, any thoughts?
gonna toy with this more tonight.
looks like pitch tracking is a big part of it, was going to use fiddle but I wonder if thats missing the point of phase tracking.
It sounds like you're still after demodulating?
I found this interesting website while looking for what phase comparison was on the doepfer page.
Maybe this could help?
I'm getting interested in what you're trying to work out...
There was a great mod for the Paia Fatman that used
this technique - see http://tinyurl.com/486ulj. Mine
has sadly died, and I don't have the time to fix it,
but it would be nice to be able to recreate the sound.
The trouble with digital simulations of analogue
techniques, is that they always end up sounding rather
disappointing - ring mod being a classic case in
point. Sure, multiplying two signals does the job /in
theory/, but the results are never going to sound like
a Bode in full cry. I think the only way you're going
to get those sort of sounds out of Max/MSP is by
coding your own physical modeling objects.
That said, it's always fun trying, and if anyone does
manage to get that Tomita/Pere Ubu/Terje Rypdal sound
out of standard Max objects, be sure to let us know!
cheers

Im actually working on something really cool that I plan to make freely available to the community very soon, and I think people will appreciate it (I sure would have if someone else made it)
Still researching this bit, cant seem to figure out how to track pitch based on zero crossings, but Im sure theres something out there. Im still wondering if fiddle uses a technique like this or if its spectral based.
I think you will be rather suppressed at some of the sound quality im getting, max has some truly incredible objects if you know where to look, and Ive learned about many of them through the awesome people on this forum.

suppressed hahaha, damn spell checker, surprised is more like it

fiddle~ uses a spectral approach.
here is a simple zerocrossing counter that works reasonably well with
basic input signals like sinusoids and squarewaves etc.
actually i doubt that a pitch tracker like this is used in PLL, but
maybe this will still get you somewhere.
volker.
thanks! looks good, Ill play with this soon and let you know how it goes.
