Dear FluCoMa community,
since this is my first question here, I’d like to say hello and I hope I’m not breaking any rules.
I’m PhD at Turin Conservatorium researching on hybrid lutherie and HMI. I’ve read a lot on this site, and found some discussions close to this argument but not completely on focus on this issue I’m having. I’m currently researching on an hybrid instrument electric guitar-like, that I’m calling Chelys.
Recently I’ve created an installation as a study case for this. Everything worked but now I’m trying to push the instrument to a next level. Most of the job is done by fluid.pitch~ using the algorithm HPS, that’s because placing the excitement system on the “pickup area” enables mostly harmonic excitement (I attach a graph I’ve made where the grey bobbin symbol represents the exciter).
Filtering the In signal is possible of course to push the “harmonic” to the fundamental frequency. That’s easy using a fixed string pitch but since I’m dynamically changing the tune of the string this simple patch starts to tweak all over the harmonic spectrum. I’ve found that instead of using Yin, HPS works better but not enough as I’m trying to jump to different harmonics of the string and create harmonic or fundamental glissatos.
I’d appreciate your helpful knowledge.
Thank you,
Guglielmo
