Hi all.. another little patch... my first go with using fiddle for detecting incoming pitches... detects sung/played pitches and stores the frequency values into an array for playback via an oscillator: either smoothly in real time, stepwise or randomly. Would like to expand it to properly play back each pitch with its corresponding amplitude envelope mapped to the output of the oscillator.. I know there an attack detector in fiddle back don't know where I'd go from here.. any suggestions??

enjoy!

you could just set up a second table that would record the amplitude levels, but scale it from 0 to 1 instead of a midi value.

thanks godinpants.. sorry for the late reply.. I've been working on that for the last day or so.. seems as though I'm getting a very cut up version of the real amplitudes coming out of both env~ and the amplitude outlet of fiddle~, ie it's not as smooth as I expected.. will keep looking into this. Would this have anything to do with the block/window size?

PS not sure if you remember the dethklok you posted for me a while back? Just put up another solution for this in patch~ if you're interested..

to smooth the output, run it through a [line]

you might need a creation argument for line to make the resolution better.

eg:

[env~]
|
[$1 50( <--- 50 (ms) is the smoothing time, change this if u want.
|
[line 0 10] <--- second creation argument (10) sets the delay between output values (in ms).

thanks hardoff I'll try this now.. can I just say that this forum is really amazing.. it's fantastic to get such great advice from all you guys! Cheers..
