Hi Guru's, As a python newb, I was thinking about trying to implement a program that converts whistled music into midi; the idea coming from a proposed application in the Mydreamapp competition hosted last year, more details here: http://stratfordisland.com/whistler/
So, does anyone have a suggestion as to the best way to implement this? I was thinking maybe a fast fourier ever 20th of a second, selecting the dominant frequency, and then mapping that onto a real musical scale, then stretching or cutting the notes to a preselected timing scheme. Is this a stupid idea? Can one do a real time fourier transform in python? Or is there some other way to find the frequency of a whistle easily? I want to do this in real time, so as you whistle a tune, you see the notes appear, but if this is too hard, the prerecorded should be also good I guess. Im just looking for some vague opinion on how to start, so please post any idea you might have, every thing helps! Also, If you know of any code that already exist that might help, please post a link! Thanks in Advance, Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
