Using a pitch tool like sigmund or fiddle to control a parameter like grain size

Hi there,

I'm relatively new to Max MSP. I want to be able to play my saxophone and using a granular synth like sugarsynth the pitch of the sax to alter things like grain size or position. I basically just don't understand how to use fiddle and sigmund in order to code a set of rules depending on pitch.

Any help would be amazing it doesn't have to be using sugarsynth!

Thanks you

I would try with the built-in [retune~ @pitchdetection 1] first. Factory supported, compatible on all systems. Something like this:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
