Using the “tremolo project” from Designing Sound (In Mac OS 9).
Use instructions in c74 wiki – not the ones from Designing Sound:
http://cycling74.com/wiki/index.php?title=Gen_Code_Export_AU
But you’ll need the gen~ code and patch from this blog:

Note: some of the projects are in project examples below

Go to the future. Make music. Bring it back to the present.
It should be a very short piece or an excerpt. Less than two minutes. It can be a remix of a song that you believe represents a future direction in music. Near future or distant future – your choice. Use any tools to create the music. The result: an audio file (mp3) or a link to audio or video on the Internet – like Soundcloud or Youtube.
Due: before the 9/23 class. Send an email attachment or link.
Uses video frame subtraction in jitter to control playback of audio clip.
https://github.com/tkzic/max-projects
folder: frame-subtraction
patch: frameSubtraction_example.maxpat
You will also need an audio file: aiff, wav, etc., to load into a Max buffer.
You will also need the cv.jit library (computer vision): http://jmpelletier.com/cvjit/
Add the location of these files to your path in Max using Options | File Preferences.
Note: When I loaded the patch in Mac OS 10.8 – the computer automatically downloaded and installed Java updates.
This project uses the Max fzero~ object to detect which key of the piano gets pressed and send a pre-written Tweet like “Signs point to yellow” based on the color of the key.
It works with the Internet sensors project that sends Tweets from Max using Ruby. https://reactivemusic.net/?p=7013

fzero~ is probably not the best choice for this. It doesn’t work above 2500hz which means it won’t probably distinguish between the lowest and highest key which are an octave apart. In fact the Little-Tikes piano, for a pitched instrument, is difficult to analyze. Due to relatively equal weight of partials to fundamental, and the quick decay. Other choices, would be pitch~ (Jehan) fiddle~ (Pucket…)
I remember seeing an Arduino project where somebody did this in reverse – actually built a motorized striker to play the piano)
… insert link to video here…
The more it hears a pitch, the more plays that pitch.

A vocaloid character
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsune_Miku
(from Wikipedia)
Hatsune Miku (初音ミク?) is a singing synthesizer application with a humanoid persona, developed by Crypton Future Media. It uses Yamaha Corporation‘s Vocaloid 2 and Vocaloid 3 singing synthesizing technology. She was the second Vocaloid sold using the Vocaloid 2 engine, and the first Japanese Vocaloid to use the Japanese version of the Vocaloid 2 engine. Her voice is sampled from Japanese voice actress, Saki Fujita. Hatsune Miku has performed at her concerts onstage as an animated projection.[1] Hatsune Miku is portrayed to be a 16-year-old girl with long teal pigtails.
