Possibilities for Plugin Parameters

Two directions we could take:

  1. No parameters
  2. Enough parameters to be interesting

Fast and Slow modes

A problem with "no parameters" is that there is such a big difference in processing speed between different configurations. There's a strong case to be made for offering at least a choice between fast/draft mode and slow/thorough mode.

  • The most obvious difference would be that "fast mode" should suppress the 5-step shift factor.
  • We might also consider using a finer-grained time step in "slow mode". I think the current 40ms step results in audible jitter, though I may be wrong (possibly any timing imprecision results mostly from some other aspect of the method).

Possibilities for Plugin Outputs

Currently we have

  • Note transcription
  • Raw constant-Q
  • Filtered constant-Q
  • Pitch activation
