Hi guys,
I try to transform a few seconds loop of a speech into the sound of a sort of violin tuned on a single frequency.
Now... I came from Ableton and this is my chain:

1. the looped sample
2. CORPUS (fundamental to obtain the "strings" efx)
3. Resonators (to control the precise note/freq I want)

I'd like to use PD instead of a commercial sw, but I don't know which objects match for me.
Could you help me, please?
Thanks

Hi,

You probably want to look at [fiddle~], which is an object that can identify pitch and amplitude. So you can feed the speech audio into it and then use its output to create MIDI information for some violin synth or something like that.

Take care,
Gilberto

Thx for your answer, but for conceptual reasons I'm searching for something that transform the voice into the violin sound.
So, no MIDI or synth...

Sorry but then I don't understand what you want to do. So you have two samples, one of speech and one of violin? And what do you mean by transform?

Take care,
Gilberto

I mean this:

Here I've just filtered a loop of the sampled voice of my father until obtaining a violin effect.
The filters were mainly Corpus and Resonators (in Ableton): Corpus filters a sample to "extract" an instrumental timbre; while Resonators controls the pitch of the obtained timber.
(At that point - and only at that point - I've used this violin-like sound as a virtual instrument via MIDI with my keyboard, but I don't need it now.)
Simply I'd like to know which combinations of PD filters could replace Ableton's Corpus and Resonators as I decribed them.
Thx

Oh, I see. Sorry but I am not familiar with Ableton, but now I think I understand what you want to do now. I don't have much to say about it as this is a fairly complicated area which I am not very familiar with, but you could have a look on the wonderful tutorials by Alexandre Porres: https://sites.google.com/site/porres/Tut-Eng.zip?attredirects=0

He explores cross synthesis and morphing sounds in the folder 6 - Cross Synthesis (Vocoder) & Convolution, it is really worth having a look at it.

Take care,
Gilberto

Thx so much for this info!

Sorry, but in the zip I've downloaded there isn't the Cross Synthesis (Vocoder) Folder... Folder 6 is 06.Send-Receive...

Sorry, my bad, here is the correct link: https://sites.google.com/site/porres/ComputerMusic.zip?attredirects=0

Take care,
Gilberto

Thank you so much.

@adrjork Check out the "I' section in the PureData manuals in the audio examples. Specifically IO6.timbrestamp.pd. Hope that helps!
