PULMU for Linux is coming.

PULMU estimates the plucking point on the string of an acoustic guitar. By the output of the estimator you can control audio effects. It is a Pure Data external coded in the C-language.

PULMU the plucking point estimator is a Pd plugin for conrtolling audio effects by merely changing the plucking point on your acoustic guitar. It works on your acoustic guitar, equipped with an undersaddle or bridge pickup, made by B-band. You can download the implementation from the Software pages and try it out. The Manual helps out with the installation and informs how to use it. The plugin/implementation of PULMU provided here is free. In addition, the Pd software needed to run PULMU is also free and provided at the Pd download page.
