Overview

Name \| Version:	SmartFrequencyShifter 1.0
Author:	vulume
Device Type:	Audio Effect
Description:	Ring modulator/frequency shifter with pitch tracking/midi input and interval setting. This began as an experiment. I figured if you can track the fundamental frequency of a signal, you can use a frequency shifter to effectively make a crude monophonic pitch shifter. Over time it turned into so much more, now a true ring modulation powerhouse for all your spectral experiments. Features: - Multiple tracking modes. - Freeze tracking to easily tune the carrier to a base note. - 4 ways to detune the carrier. - 4 waveforms for the carrier, works for both ring modulation and frequency shifting. - Delay the carrier tracking for a glitchy effect. - Phaseshift or detune left and right carrier to create a stereo effect. - Drive the input signal after analysis with builtin analog drive. For midi input use the "Max MIDI Sender" from the "Max 7 Pitch and Time Machines" pack. I included a customized version in the zip but the original will work just fine. Keywords: Octaver, distortion, pitch shifter, harmonizer, ringmodulator, ringmod, Ring Thing, Vitruvian, Ringmaster analog multiplier.

Ooh, this looks exciting. Very cool.
I remember trying to use fzero~ at one point, but never had much luck with it. Then again, I was a novice and had little idea what I was doing. I do recall having a lot of success with Miller Puckette's fiddle~ object, but I was still too much of an amateur to do much with it beyond appreciating what an impressive tool it was.

This is great! I'm using it in max 8 and I'm trying to control various knobs etc. I can set the level of wet/dry and that's the only parameter which works. (got the names from getparams command). I get a 'bad number' in the max console for all the others. Is this intentional?

Cheers for sharing.

Also Phase, Drive, Source and Waveform work. I was hoping I could control pitch functions.
