Hi,

I always wondered how to turn a guitar sound into another one

so far I found 2 methods

• technicaly speaking EQ should change the spectrum so the nature of the sound, but I need something more drastic
• using fiddle to figure the note, feed it in a wav table, but it's only monotonal
• using a vocoder ? but ...meh, not that great

I want to achieve a more general version of something like this

thanks

nobody ?

@phil123456 He says it responds like the guitar because it is the guitar (no triggering of samples), and I would agree..... that it is all "effects"...... wah-wah, chorus (a lot), reverb, echo, tremolo, expander/compression......etc. (with some recorded Malibu beach sounds in the background).

There must be lots of guitarists that have tried in the past...... I just found this..... https://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/showthread.php?127086-Rhodes-sound-on-guitar
but there must be other threads out there.

I just found that as an example
the question is more pure data oriented than it seems

I always thought I could figure the transfer function of a sound and apply it to any input sound to change it that way

technicaly that's what a vocoder does, but the vocoder robotize everything

@phil123456 Someone had a similar question very recently on this forum (unless it was you), and a few different vocoder patches were posted........ that is a big "maybe" from me.......as to whether any are any good..... https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/11028/attempting-to-make-a-vocoder-help

??

no I mentioned eralier vocoder that was not the way

more like this one https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/994/voice-morphing-conversion-pd-voice-conversion/6
interesting thread

There's an object in the fftease library called dentist~ that lets you specify which partials to let through or block, which will let you do more radical editing of the spectrum of the guitar tone than an EQ. It won't get you to a piano sound but it might get you to something that's more plinky plonky out of the guitar.

All of these fft based solutions are closely related to what a vocoder is, though. They'll likely sound artificial and robotic without careful tuning. There's no real general purpose solution to these kinds of questions, as far as I can tell.

You might look at the I06.timbre.stamp.pd help file but try replacing the example sounds with piano and guitar samples and see what you get and go from there.
