Guitar and Bass Tuner Library v3.3
Teensy 3.1/2

>Software algorithm ([YIN]) for guitar and bass tuning using a Teensy Audio Library. This audio object's algorithm can be some what memory and processor hungry but will allow you to detect with fairly good accuracy the fundamental frequencies fo from electric guitars and basses. >>You can install this as a normal Arduino Library and will work with the Audio Library, no need to edit the Audio libraries source now.

Not that simple because the YIN algorithm uses a squared difference tweak to the Auto Correlation.

YIN Algorithm
  1. Difference Function - Squared difference of the (signal - signal lag())
  2. Cumulative Mean Normalized Difference Function - Calculate the cumulative mean on the normalized difference signal
  3. Absolute Threshold - Fix for subharmonic error with Autocorrelation, choose () that gives a minimum
