[clam-devel] Important Question regarding CLAM

Hi,

We are investigating the possibilities to use CLAM to learn people how
to make music.
If you have a monophonic sound (like a sax) and a logger that logs the
pitches and duration somehow in a file would be super. Then you could
use CLAM processing powers to enter notes in a notation program. Or
compare it against a test data file with the correct sequence in it
for elearning purposes.

So I basically need the same feature as Lee.

I played around, and liked it, with the Chordata demo and code, and
tried to put some logging in some of the components code, but didn't
manage to get something useful output.

@Music 21 lover: I use a (i think somewhat similar) python package-> mingus
http://code.google.com/p/mingus/

Kind Regards Rene
