[PD] Transposing samples using MIDI numbers

[Quim Llimona]

There's  a number of ways to transpose a table... the [tabread4~] object
allows you to change the speed, right. If you want to change the pitch but
not the duration (pitch-shifting + time-streching) there're spectral objects
that can do it. You can also have a look at the audio example G09,
pitch-shift... its only problem is aliasing.

But the most important thing for your project is to know what is the
"central" frequency in the table, because all transposition you can do will
always be relative. You can try with [fiddle~] or [sigmund~] to do
pitch-tracking and average it, but if the samples are "complex" (more than 1
note) you should to use some spectral analysis tools. I'd suggest the
PDescriptors library, and its chroma objects.

Lots of luck!
