Re: More new modules

2001-04-23 by John Papiewski

There's a practical limit on pitch follower accuracy.... it has to
figure out what the fundamental frequency is, and in the presence of
harmonics, esp. dynamic harmonics that becomes a real problem. I don't
know if the digital pitch trackers have some exotic algorithm that does
a good job with guitar etc.
