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.
