Not sure. Don't see anything in the AMS documentation that refers to
the PCM In module, although I see the header and class file for it in
the source code -- no comments even in the header file about what it is.
Granted, it may not be easy to convert a pitch to CV, but it should be
possible. We have tuner software that detects a frequency, right?
Let's map that frequency value to a CV value and run it into an
oscillator. If it doesn't exist, I'd be willing to take a crack at
writing one, but not if I can't get ams to actually do anything.
Yep, I mention that very thing (tuning software) in another email.

Isn't ams a
soft-synth that is controllable by MIDI? I don't think it's
capable of doing anything with PCM audio input, you'd need a MIDI keyboard or
something like Rosegarden to control it.
So what does the PCM IN module do? Many real synths have audio inputs
so you can route a signal through the filters. Also, is there a module that will convert an audio
signal to CV? I
know MCV converts MIDI to CV.
That would be a real trick. MIDI is easy because it is a defined protocol with
a finite set of instructions... you are basically doing a digital-to-analog
conversion of MIDI control instructions to a defined set of voltages to control
a synth. There might be something out there, but I daresay it's probably not
software-based. You are probably better off getting a bass or guitar MIDI
interface and using that.
