Description
The fzero~ object estimates the fundamental frequency of an an incoming, monophonic audio signal. It performs multiple layers of wavelet transforms on an incoming vector, comparing the spacing between the peaks in each.
Arguments
None.
Attributes
freqmax [int]
The maximum frequency, in Hertz, that the object will report.
freqmin [int]
The minimum frequency, in Hertz, that the object will report.
onsetamp [float]
fzero~ gives a bang or list out the right outlet when a new event crosses this amplitude threshold.
onsetlist [int]
Onset detector output: bang or list(pitch, amplitude)
onsetperiod [atom_long]
This attribute sets the minimum number of samples between reporting any offsets.

size [atom_long]
Sets the buffer size to specify how many samples are analyzed each time.
Possible values:
'128'
(
samples
)
'256'
(
samples
)
'512'
(

)
'2048'
(
samples
)
'4096'
(
samples
)
threshold [float]
If the peak amplitude of the buffer is below this threshold, then fzero~ will report nothing.
Common Box Attributes
annotation [symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in the Clue window when the user moves the mouse over the object.
background [int] (default: 0)
Adds or removes the object from the patcher's background layer. background 1 adds the object to the background layer, background 0 removes it. Objects in the background layer are shown behind all objects in the default foreground layer.
color [4 floats]
Sets the color for the object box outline.
fontface [int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname [symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize [float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'
'13'
'14'
'16'
'18'
'20'
'24'
'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
hidden [int] (default: 0)
Toggles whether an object is hidden when the patcher is locked.
hint [symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.
ignoreclick [int] (default: 0)
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
patching_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 100. 0.)
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position [2 floats]
Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.
presentation [int] (default: 0)
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 0. 0.)
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.
rect [4 floats]
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).
size [2 floats]
Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.
textcolor [float]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification [int]
Text Justification
Possible values:
0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'
varname [symbol]
Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.
