Hi all–having a weird experience. No matter what I feed into the Entrian Pitch follower, it’s reading a tritone too low. I can use audio (my voice) or V/Oct from my midi keyboard, or a VCO. I can check the incoming pitch using, e.g., FourView and that’s ok. But what reads on the Follower and comes out to FourView is offset down a tritone. I’ve initialized the module–no change. No other modules in seem to be doing that in the patch. I can transpose it (e.g., Bogaudio Stack) but I’ve never had to do this before. Rack and modules all up to date…what could be going on?
a tritone seems way too off even for wrong sample rate settings @Richie
Which OS are you on? Works fine for me on Windows, can test on Mac later too. Try Nysthi P2V as an alternative, I’ve found they’re about the same for accuracy (I’ve used them both to make a guitar synth, works OK if you play slowly and very carefully!).
I’m sorry you’re having trouble, Ellen. Following on (see what I did there?) from what the others have said:
- What sample rate are you using (for the Rack engine and for the Audio module) and does changing it affect the behaviour?
- What OS version are you using?
- What CPU do you have?
- What do other pitch follower modules say for the same input?
- Are you using standalone Rack or are you in a DAW? Does it make a difference if you switch?
- Does changing the number of Rack threads make a difference?
- Can you attach a patch that demonstrates the problem?
Thanks - I’m sure we can get to the bottom of this!
Another thing to make sure of, is to have a valid audio device selected in the Audio module in Rack, if ever you are doing some quick non-monitored tests. It needs this to have proper timing.

Have you already tried with Surge XT TreeMonster? Do you see the same problem there?
It also has pitch V/OCT and an envelope output (set TRESH to a low and SPEED to a high value). In my experience, both TreeMonster and Entrian Follower perform equally well.
Windows 11 some version. I am just scaling it. I prefer the Entrian follower because i need both stable pitch and i need the envelope…and it’s frankly easier for me to read/use 
. it’s just weird!
I’ll have to try that out…I’d used TreeMonster for other things. I haven’t tried to use it to sample/follow my voice.
Be advised Treemonster uses a purposefully very naive pitch detector, which rarely gives stable results. Perhaps the comparison can give useful info anyway but just to be clear I wouldn’t expect it to be a suitable replacement for your needs.
