Technical Architecture Documentation Generator

Write comprehensive technical architecture documents for the saxjaxTunerIntelligent project, focusing on audio processing pipeline and settings integration.

Document Structure

Part 1: Core Audio Architecture & Data Flow

  1. Technology Stack & High-Level Design

    • Core technologies: Swift, SwiftUI, AudioKit
    • High-level audio flow: Microphone → AudioKit Engine → Pitch Tap → Detection → ViewModel → View
    • Include Mermaid.js flow diagram
  2. TunerEngine.swift Deep Dive

    • Role & Responsibility: Central audio operations manager
    • AudioKit Integration: How it uses AudioEngine, InputDevice, Mixer nodes
    • Input and Pitch Tap:
      • How audio is captured from microphone
      • Explain tap concept (installTap) for real-time, non-destructive analysis
    • Pitch Detection Algorithm:
      • Which algorithm is used (YIN, DYWA, HPS, etc.)
      • Reference PitchDetectorType.swift for abstraction
    • Output Data Flow:
      • Data structure (PitchResult, DetectedNote)
      • How results pass to TunerViewModel (delegate, Combine, callback)

Part 2: Settings Integration & Functional Impact

Include high-level Mermaid diagram showing how settings influence main data flow

For each setting, provide:

  1. Setting Name
  2. User Interface (UI): Where configured (SettingsView, QuickAccessBar)
  3. Data Model & State: Where stored (TuningProfile, TunerViewModel)
  4. Core Logic Integration: How TunerEngine uses this value
  5. Functional Impact & Purpose: Effect on algorithm/UI, why musicians use it, practical example

Settings to Analyze

  • Transposition
  • A4 Frequency / Kammertone
  • Tuning Tolerance
  • Sound Playback (reference tone)

Mermaid Diagram Examples

Audio Flow

graph LR
    A[Microphone] --> B[AudioKit Engine]
    B --> C[Pitch Tap]
    C --> D[Pitch Detection Algorithm]
    D --> E[TunerViewModel]
    E --> F[SwiftUI View]

Settings Integration

graph TB
    A[Audio Input] --> B[TunerEngine]
    C[TuningProfile Settings] -.influences.-> B
    B --> D[Pitch Detection]
    C -.influences.-> D
    D --> E[Display Calculation]
    C -.influences.-> E

Writing Guidelines

  • Be exceptionally specific and clear
  • Reference actual file names and component names
  • Include code locations where relevant
  • Explain data flow with precision
  • Use visual diagrams to clarify complex flows
  • Target audience: Senior engineer new to the project
