I actually thought of making a 'freqency quantizer', but I'd use different
divisions of the octave.  Say 9 or 13 steps to the octave.   Obviously this
wouldn't work with the grand piano model but...


What I was thinking of doing was a f->v converter, then use a resistor
string and something like a flash a-d to decide what the output note would
be.  The input signal would be from a guitar for what I'm trying to do.
This is a very rough sketch of course.
