We would like to develop a self-tuner for an electric guitar. We would be connecting a control box to the audio output of the guitar. The analog signal sent to the output jack on the guitar will be used to determine the frequency of each string. Once this is determined, it will be compared to a frequency which is the exact frequency of the pitch we are looking for. Then the control box will output a signal to a small motor attached to the tuning knobs which will then turn the tuning knobs until the desired pitch is reached. The self tuner would be activated by a foot pedal similar to other guitar foot pedals which are used for effects. We could also implement effects such as distortion or whammy into the controller and output that to an amp if we need to.
