Pitch Detection on Arduino using Autocorrelation
While playing my clarinet, I realized that it would be fun to hear other instruments playing alongside me. Instruments like guitar, piano or even a choir. It would also be nice if the melodies could be transcribed on paper. All existing solutions to these problems require a bulky computer or a cell phone. I realized that creating this compact device would combine my interest for music with my passion for engineering and math.
This project creates a small, affordable and accurate device that listens to a musical instrument and recognizes the notes played. These notes can then be sent to a synthesizer in the common MIDI format. This allows musician to hear other instruments playing alongside with them, and allows them store their compositions. The implementation is in C++ and uses an Arduino UNO, breadboard, microphone and optional display. It displays the music as a piano roll and sends it to an external synthesizer.
The implementation is in C++ and uses an Arduino, breadboard, microphone and display. It changes the sound wave to an electrical signal; uses autocorrelation to find frequency played; display frequency as note on screen while sending to a MIDI synthesizer.
