Hype Or Reality?

Has anyone tried what’s showcased in this video?

It looks pretty un-plausible. Can someone throw-down how they thing this thing works?

I think it involves finding dominant frequencies and their harmonics and “seeing” that as a note. And it seems to work only on pretty simple things, too?

it isn’t a april fools joke :)

If I had a clue I would tell you but I guess it’s top-secret and if anyone finds out then that person has to die. :P As Johann points out, the software must use pretty clever algorithms and some kind of reverse engineering.

Wow, guess I missed that thread. Thanks for the heads up.

It has to do with detecting transients (peaks) in a waveform split by fourier transform (fft), and grouping statistically similar, harmonically linked attacks and decays.

… at least I think that’s how he does it :P

Wondering how it would translate the farting sounds from that other thread?
:rolleyes:

I think it might have something to do with FFT analysis… Something similar to that what can be done in Izotope Total Restoration.

I can’t wait to get my hands on this!
