hi. i'm new to Pd and i have what might be a stupid question but nonetheless i can't figure out a solution. i want to create a patch that recognizes the notes that i play via my line in or mic and then gives them back to me in in manipulations of my choosing. ideally i want to play single note improvisations, and have Pd recognize the notes, then giving them back to me as random chord clusters. for this i am using the fiddle object. however my idea is nowhere near realized since the only sound i get out of the fiddle now is crackling. i have tried tweaking all the numbers from the default (1024 1 20 3) and nothing. only different kinds of crackling noises. how can i at least get sound from this object that i can begin to manipulate?
thank you
