2SYNts- regular guitar to poly synth
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2016 1:17 pm
Hola technologists!
I had a long thread back at SynthMaker about this mono pitch detector that Leif Oddson built.
I thought I would start one here.
I have tinkered and puzzled and then some over this thing.
NuBeat really helped with Ruby stuff at one time, and Tulamide also to make the MIDI mono.
I used Bootsy's fast RMS, which seems my best amplitude detector.
UI->
It needs a hex guitar(a Roland GK3 pickup), which is one with individual pickups for each string.
Also all strings need to be a C string(note 48, .711mm 028 gauge).
The pickup is broken out and run into an interface with 6 inputs.
Then all you have to do is set the on/off gate- using the Gain.
Here is the schematic(open source), VSTfx .dll and the UI resources->
full version 2SYN midi and synth 205->

It is 0 crossing based detection,
which relies heavily on a feedback loop to focus the band.
EDIT-> July 2020
I have now made this work for regular electric guitar turning it into synth, which works better than MIDI,
but it does push out the zippered MIDI
here's the project->

the .fsm will only open in the FS Alpha sorry, but u could back it up and open it later if u haven't yet joined the Slack group.
Here's a screen->
It works quite well and I would really appreciate it if any of you guitar players would like to try it
-- let me know here how it goes if you'd like to
NOTE: all 2SYN builds require 44.1khz samplerate to process the pitch accurately
Hope it's interesting!-
