Chapter 12. Plugins 145
The 12/12 for the shuffle create 1/4 triplets. Just do a bit of math;-) This is still a
metronome, not a drum machine, but it can act like a basic one, helping you to figure
out a certain rhythm within the meter.
The UI is developed so that it fits into the display of a Sansa Clip+ and that is the
hardware device it is tested on. It seems to work reasonably on some other models in
the simulator.
At last, a more complete tempomap file:

12.4.14. Pitch Detector
With the Pitch Detector, you can play a note on a musical instrument, and the plugin
will tell you what note it is (e.g. A, A#, B, etc.) The frequency will also be displayed.
This may be a great assistance when tuning a musical instrument.
