Description
Ring modulator/frequency shifter with pitch tracking/midi input and interval setting.
This began as an experiment. I figured if you can track the fundamental frequency of a signal, you can use a frequency shifter to effectively make a crude monophonic pitch shifter. Over time it turned into so much more, now a true ring modulation powerhouse for all your spectral experiments.
Features:
- Multiple tracking modes.
- Freeze tracking to easily tune the carrier to a base note.
- 4 ways to detune the carrier.
- 4 waveforms for the carrier, works for both ring modulation and frequency shifting.
- Delay the carrier tracking for a glitchy effect.
- Phaseshift or detune left and right carrier to create a stereo effect.
- Drive the input signal after analysis with builtin analog drive.
For midi input use the "Max MIDI Sender" from the "Max 7 Pitch and Time Machines" pack. I included a customized version in the zip but the original will work just fine.

I remember trying to use fzero~ at one point, but never had much luck with it. Then again, I was a novice and had little idea what I was doing. I do recall having a lot of success with Miller Puckette's fiddle~ object, but I was still too much of an amateur to do much with it beyond appreciating what an impressive tool it was.
Cheers for sharing.
