[Sursound] getting the peak frequency from microphone input

[霖の]

Dear all,
There must be some easy way to do this that I'm overlooking: I want to scan the audio from a microphone input and get the peak frequency. I know how to use myriad of spectral analysis software and the spectroscope object, but I don't see an obvious way to display the frequency with the greatest amplitude in Max/msp. Seems like a trivial task. I must be going about this the wrong way.


Looking forward to your reply,
All the best,
YL

Can it somehow be tracked programmatically, and e.g. turned into a
controller for further processing? I'd be interested in the primitives
used for that as well.

You can use the fantastic peak tracking feature of sigmund~ then. A 64 bit port has been done for Max and it is also available on Pd

Doing this was one of the programming assignments in the course "Audio

Excellent course. Tools here:

True! This is actually the assignment for this week. :-)
I could post the solution here after I succeed,
but I’m afraid that would be against the “Coursera honor code”...

Marc... As I recall, this is the first assignment that requires some
experimentation to determine the correct parameters. Good luck with it.

Regarding the original poster's question ... as you learn in this course,
the perceived pitch is not necessarily the strongest frequency in the
signal -- you need to analyze the harmonic structure of the signal. In many
instruments (trumpet, trombone, low-string on a violin, bottom octave of a
piano), the overtones are stronger than the fundamental.

Similar analysis is needed for parametric decoding of Ambisonics signals,
such as done by Harpex.or DirAC.
