Granted, it may not be easy to convert a pitch to CV, but it should be possible. We have tuner software that detects a frequency, right? Let's map that frequency value to a CV value and run it into an oscillator. If it doesn't exist, I'd be willing to take a crack at writing one, but not if I can't get ams to actually do anything. So where are all the people who always chime in with "pd can do this?"
