Hi all,

I’m researching various tools that can be used for building a note and chord detection module that can be used within Unity3d gaming engine. Is this something that can be done with Juce?

Cheers.

You could certainly write that type of thing with JUCE, and I’m told but have never tried, that it’s possible to integrate C++ modules into Unity.

Have you looked at the VAMP plugins?

The VAMP SDK is very easy to integrate into JUCE (or any other C++ code).

Afaik it’s not such a well-solved commodity task.

For example Guitar-Hero and Rock-Band’s pitch detection is obviously really bad because it insists that I miss notes! 😉
