Hi, im new to Max MSP and im using it for my University course and need to make something for one of my units.

My idea is to make a guitar tuner which would output a display on a launchpad to show which note you are on and how far away from it you are so that it can be used in live situations or similar where you can see the output on a large scale.

Because i am very new to this i do not know how to make this work, and so far i am looking into fzero~ to make it work but im not sure if there is a simple way to do this or if anyone would be happy to lend a hand on this.

Hi Andrew, did you get any further with this ? I am also doing the very same .

hmmm... i'd never really looked at fzero~ extensively before. I was about to tell you to check out the FFT tutorials on this site by TimPlace(he shows a form of frequency tracking there), but if fzero~ performs "wavelet transforms", I think that might be even more fast and accurate than FFT(?), definitely much more easy compared to creating your own solution.

(and thanks for peaking my interest in it :D)

So i'd just stick with fzero~ :)
