New subject: Re : Announcing: TalentedHack Version 1.81

28 Jul 2010

TalentedHack version 1.81 is released.

It is an LV2 pitch correction plugin which is based off of Autotalent and
has additional features and improvements.  It was previously mentioned on
the developers list under the name "AutotalentLV2", but has been renamed and
fully forked.

See http://code.google.com/p/talentledhack/ for downloads and documentation.

The major differences between TalentedHack and Autotalent are:

   - It is an LV2 plugin instead of an LADSPA plugin
   - It provides MIDI output of the pitch
   - It accepts MIDI input
   - It separates the pull to semitone and snap to scale functionality
   - It uses FFTW for the DFT routines, greatly improving performance.
   - Minor performance tweaks (substituting memcpy for loops, etc)
   - Slightly more accurate pitch detection (Uses MPM method instead of
   straight autocorrelation)
   - It is greatly refactored (broken into methods and structures, variables
   renamed)
   - The formant corrector causes artifacts not present in the original (I'm
   not sure how to fix, as it's the only part of the original I don't
   understand)

With these features, TalentedHack should give you more fine grained and
powerful control over pitch correction.

Although TalentedHack is separate from Autotalent, I will still attempt
to incorporate any changes made to Autotalent into TalentedHack.

For those who are experienced with LV2 plugins, it should be easy to get it
to work.  If you are having difficulties installing it, post your problems,
and I can probably help.  As TalentedHack is new software, the issue might
not be your fault, but mine.
