Hi, thanks for your interest. The pitch is stable after attack and before release phase. But during those phases it jumps arround. aubio has a method for detecting those phases, which I want to try out. When nothing is played it get irritated by the noise if your input gain is to high. You have to set your input gain low enough to silence the noise, but high enough that the synths kick in. For Hardware: Any cheap soundcard should do the job. I tried it with the onboard card of my computer. But if your looking for something beyond alpha stage checkout Rakarrack's monophonic audio to midi converter. My plans are to test aubio's polyphonic pitch abilities, which doesn't need a hex-pickup (is that what your building?). so stay tuned Gerald On 18.04.2015 20:47, Michael Nelson wrote: > Hi, > > I am very interested in this. > > I've put some piezo-sensor saddles in a Strat, and have knocked up > a rough PCB design for a set of preamps.
