Playing with pitch-to-MIDI in Max 9

I have been thinking about pitch-to-MIDI technology lately and what it might take to build something that does even 1% of what MIDI Guitar 3 can.

So I dug up a patch I started making ages ago in Max and tried to build a very basic pitch-to-MIDI patch. It kind of works, but sounds pretty awful.

Have any forum members built anything like this in Max or PD?

I plugged back into MG3 Hex after this failed experiment and all I can say is, @JamO, you’re doing some amazing work! :nerd_face:

aside from the physics and the programming, we are also in great debt to jamo for dealing with the apple infrastructure - this makes it look like something i wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy (ever so slightly edited) -

But to first vendor lock me to your ecosystem for developing apps, then demanding a whole bunch of money so I can sign my software and it not get quarantined all while I’m not too well off financially, then refuse to let me submit my documents to you because your hardware produces pictures that are not good enough and make me have to install the app on a phone that’s also expensive and that not even everyone has, then to still make me wait and have your apps not even show that I’ve submitted my application?

You know what? Apple, #$%^ you and your forsaken ecosystem. This sucks.
