Real-time polyphonic pitch-tracking resonators.
Trigger 1 to 4 resonators from detected input pitches.
Individually triggered attack/decay behavior per resonator.
Tracks sliding notes and releases naturally when pitch content ends.

Tinman is an auto-peaking resonant filter driven by real-time polyphonic pitch detection and per-pitch attack/decay envelopes.

In practice, Tinman listens to incoming audio, identifies the strongest pitches, and spawns matched resonators that follow those pitches in motion, even when they are not tuned to standard notes.

At conservative settings, Tinman adds motion and harmonic interest to dull parts. At aggressive settings, it produces unusual, vocal, and “spooky” resonant textures that can transform source material.

Its pitch detection system ranks dominant components in the input, applies threshold and range filtering, and keeps each resonator dynamically matched while the source evolves, then releases it naturally when the source falls away.
