How to make a guitar tuner

pluginboi

@goldee this is an older snippet of mine but it uses detect pitch and scriptnode to get note names sorta like a tuner

Don't we still have a solid tuner that we can use to tune the guitar?

@JulesV Enjoy! https://x42-plugins.com/x42/x42-tuner

@JulesV GVST GTUNE is still incredible. I'm assuming OP is asking though because they want to build a tuner into part of a larger plugin, not because they think there's a gap in the market for a standalone.

TBH if we come up with a good solution, I'd love to use that code too.

I've read and watched quite a lot on tuner dsp, and as simple as it seems at start, things are going exponentially complicated. having the pitch of a buffer is one thing, but getting a smooth response (not erratic) and good tracking especially with lower notes becomes incredibly complicated. Not speaking about the time response for lower notes... Especially for guitars where useful pitch can be hard to discriminates from overtones

That being said, there might be a free library existing somewhere

@ustk Just use the pitch tracker in Faust and call si.smoo on it twice. It's incredibly fast and its error is consistent and correctable with an almost linear function (slightly higher at low freqs than at high freqs).

Sweet. But since it's GPL, I can't use it on a commercial project, right?

JulesV

@ccbl I'll take a look at that, thanks

I agree. I hope it will be available in the future.

Thanks for the tip. Although I am new to Faust, I'll give it a try.

You can, as long as your project is gpl
