It detects the pitch of each slice and writes the note values to the pattern. Usage is pretty much the same as Slices to Pattern with an added GUI that lets you select the destination instrument and also a low pass filter control for fine tuning the pitch detection.
Pitch detection can vary depending on the type of sample, it is by no means as good as something like melodyne and is really more of a fun experiment/proof of concept…
Thanks, do you have suggestion on what you would like to see added?
Currently I’m thinking about:
Volume/Velocity detection.
Better and automatic slice detection, the built in slicer is good for drums but not so good for melodic loops where the pitch changes but volume doesn’t.
Better pitch detection and no need for the filter control.
The first one is easy to do, the next two are a lot more difficult, I really need to get my head around FFT

Is it possible you create a hack version of this tool that uses the pitches of slices to set the pitch envelope of a destination instrument? (The pitch envelope in the instrument settings)
Maybe you can look into vV’s arpeggiator tool code in which he does something similar, using the note-event value’s in the pattern editor to set the pitch envelope.
I think it’s possible and its a great idea, it will take me a while to get onto it as I have little free time at the moment but I will try add this to the next version.
BTW, big respect to you for consistently coming up with great ideas and feature suggestions for tools, its probably as (if not more) valuable than being able to code… keep em coming
