Simple guitar tuner sample app with BSD license.
There are plenty of tuners out there. This one is designed to be easy to understand and follow. I've also written more about how frequency detection works, and specificly explain this codebase.
It should also be easy to port to other platforms, though right now it compiles only on OS X and Linux.
- OS X and Linux only :(patches for other apps accepted!)
- Download and install portaudio.
- For OS X, use homebrew or macports to install --
port install portaudio
. - For Ubuntu, use
apt-get install portaudio19-dev
.
- For OS X, use homebrew or macports to install --
- run "make"
- the output is ./tuner
