I'm not sure if real hardware stompboxes of this type are better then this plugin, but this might be the kind of sound I might like to buy a hardware stompbox for. Maybe I can test one somewhere and compare it with Gxdetune. Thanks for the comments Fons, tips for improvement are always welcome I think.

True for bass and guitar.

Still this algorithm is far from what it could be. I don't blame
for you that, it's Bernsee who is missing the consequences of his
own analysis (which is valid as far as it goes).
Take alook at his table labeled 'pass #5'. The input signal is
halfway between two bins. Assume we want one octave up. The expected
output signal corresponds exactly to bin 225. For that signal, the
output of the analysis FFT would be (similar to 'pass #1):
bin amplitude
------------------
223 0.000
224 0.500
225 1.000
226 0.500
227 0.000
And that is of course also what the correct input to the synthesis
IFFT should be. Which is quite different from what the algorithm
produces (by scaling each bin individually):
bin amplitude
-------------------
222 0.170
223 0.000
224 0.849
225 0.000
226 0.849
227 0.000
228 0.170
The result of this after the IFFT is the correct frequency, but
with two periods of the window applied (it will be zero at the
center).
The frequency values that are calculated provide exactly the
information required to avoid this and to do the correct
calculation. But it's just thrown away.
