is this autotuned to each nearest semi tone, or do you have it tuning to a scale that you made up?

[lukeydargons]

@futureforestsss it's tuned to a pentatonic scale

Schematic or it didnt happen

[lukeydargons]

if you want to make your own:

-take any radio, open it up

-clip the wires headed to the speaker at the halfway point

-solder on longer wire if you need it, and audio jacks on all ends

-plug the audio jacks into the input and output of EITHER a hardware autotune unit OR a computer that is running autotune software (here i am using a MaxMSP patch that incorporates the object pvtuner~, part of the "fftease" collection of externals developed by eric lyon and christopher penrose)

[lukeydargons]

-you may need a small preamp in between the autotune and the speaker to get the volume in the right range, you may be fine without one

-in my case, the laptop i am running the software on is too bulky to fit inside the radio, and so sits off to the side out of view, but if you have a smaller processor, or a bigger radio, stick it inside and close the radio back up!

This is brilliant

Thats a modulator for you. A small solid state version of this would be simple to cram into a radio like the ones you have there. Sounds like a great idea for my next project.
