Thanks all for responses.

I think you should assume that all UGen names are reserved words and change your own Pitch class to something even more descriptive of its functionality.

Nick, I take your first point, but think Pitch could be improved in terms of its name IMHO (eg PitchFollower or whatever). For those of us sometimes working in set-class theory land - and this has included you! - Pitch has a *much* more usual meaning, no?

Workaround (sorry if the formatting is poor). The idea is to use a
custom-named class to return an instance of Pitch, which the server
will understand.

MyPitch {
*kr { arg in = 0.0, initFreq = 440.0, minFreq = 60.0, maxFreq = 4000.0,
			execFreq = 100.0, maxBinsPerOctave = 16, median = 1,
			ampThreshold = 0.01, peakThreshold = 0.5, downSample = 1;
		^Pitch.kr(in, initFreq, minFreq, maxFreq, execFreq, maxBinsPerOctave,
			median, ampThreshold, peakThreshold, downSample);
	}
}

best not to change the Pitch UGen's name, it's possible but you'd have
to alter the source code for this (and it would only work on your
system). I think you should assume that all UGen names are reserved

descriptive of its functionality.
