Tweaks

Improved pitch detection

The built-in pitch detection algorithms have been tweaked and should produce more accurate values. We used a large collection of samples with known pitch values to verify results:

The illustration shows how samples are distributed across notes. It should be obvious that the changes resulted in more “spiky” and less overlapping fields (this is a good thing :-)

Update checker

Finally, Sononym got an update checker! Configure it to check automatically, or launch it manually from the Help menu. When an update is available, you are offered a direct download, and you can also “snooze” the notification. This is handy when you want to skip a specific version.

Download

Head over to this page to download the release. Note that you can install this update on top of your existing installation: all configuration files, libraries and collections should continue to work as before.
