[PD] Getting frequencies from chords

Hi Adam,
One of the great joys of Pd, messing with code, sound and creativity in
general, for me anyway, is starting off with a clear idea. You seem to have
that, though to give us a clearer idea of intention, perhaps you could say
what source(s) the chords will be generated from?

My own approach is that if I spend enough time at the coalface of
experimentation, the great goddess Cecilia will reward my effort with...
'something'.
99 times out of a hundred, what I end up with doesn't resemble what I set
out to achieve. This is often a good thing as we've moved beyond my own
limited set of beliefs and expectations (& I like that:).

So while very much in agreement with all the thread comments, let us
introduce you to your new favourite Pd wormhole: [sigmund~].
This is prolly best place to start (the helpfile is stuffed to the ginnels
with useful info and examples, e.g. see 'sinusiod-tracking').

Enjoy the deep-dive, good luck, have fun and give us a shout for more info
if required - sure people will share knowledge best they can...

Julian
