RollOff¶

standard mode | Spectral category

Inputs¶

spectrum (vector_real) - the input audio spectrum (must have more than one elements)

Outputs¶

rollOff (real) - the roll-off frequency [Hz]

Parameters¶

cutoff (real ∈ (0, 1), default = 0.85) :
the ratio of total energy to attain before yielding the roll-off frequency

sampleRate (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 44100) :
the sampling rate of the audio signal (used to normalize rollOff) [Hz]

Description¶

This algorithm computes the roll-off frequency of a spectrum. The roll-off frequency is defined as the frequency under which some percentage (cutoff) of the total energy of the spectrum is contained. The roll-off frequency can be used to distinguish between harmonic (below roll-off) and noisy sounds (above roll-off).

An exception is thrown if the input audio spectrum is smaller than 2.
