Vibrato

streaming mode | Pitch category

Inputs

  • pitch (vector_real) - the pitch trajectory [Hz].

Outputs

  • vibratoFrequency (vector_real) - estimated vibrato frequency (or speed) [Hz]; zero if no vibrato was detected.

  • vibratoExtend (vector_real) - estimated vibrato extent (or depth) [cents]; zero if no vibrato was detected.

Parameters

  • maxExtend (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 250) :

    maximum considered vibrato extent [cents]

  • maxFrequency (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 8) :

    maximum considered vibrato frequency [Hz]

  • minExtend (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 50) :

    minimum considered vibrato extent [cents]

  • minFrequency (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 4) :

    minimum considered vibrato frequency [Hz]

  • sampleRate (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 344.531) :

    sample rate of the input pitch contour

Description

This algorithm detects the presence of vibrato and estimates its parameters given a pitch contour [Hz]. The result is the vibrato frequency in Hz and the extent (peak to peak) in cents. If no vibrato is detected in a frame, the output of both values is zero.

This algorithm should be given the outputs of a pitch estimator, i.e. PredominantMelody, PitchYinFFT or PitchMelodia and the corresponding sample rate with which it was computed.

The algorithm is an extended version of the vocal vibrato detection in PerdominantMelody.
