Hi!

I'm looking to start a project whereby people make noises at the computer to make objects on screen move.

I've very new to PD and often make stupid mistakes - so while I'm sure that PD will need the ADC~ object to make noises come in, how do I get PD to recognise pitch?

I would like to hear from anybody who has done similar things with PD. Even if its only slightly related, then maybe it will help me get my head around this.

[fiddle~] gives you the main pitch of the sound incoming.

I do a project with sound analysis and sound production related to this analysis. For that moment, I've been inspired by a book " interactive musical systems" by Robert rowe.

I split the patch in two parts : LISTENER (analysis) ans PLAYERS (sound production).
Now I've focus 8 differents styles of incoming sound, very primitive with 3 couple of parameters :
CHAOS / REGULARITY
LONG / SHORT
STRONG / LOW

It has to be appreciate for different situations. But I think it's a good way to start. Now, I'm a little disturb by the actions of the PLAYERS. I'm split between two position : use a lot of different sounds (like audio files from crowd, weather, voices, drums and synthesis and live recording and playing )and focus just a limited range of sounds and use them to the death.

if you like to see the project, it's in french sorry :

Fantastic!

I'd heard of the fiddle~ object as being used for sound analysis, in connection with the bonk~ object.

Thanks glair!
