Helmholtz (Free; Max for Live)

Helmholtz is a simple monophonic pitch follower that tracks a monophonic audio source continuously. Pitch data is then scalable and mappable to control any parameter in your Live set.

Plug in a microphone, select the voice preset, and map the pitch of your voice to control audio effects in real-time. Or set Helmholtz to log mode and map the output to the fixed frequency parameter of an oscillator in Operator.
