PitchYinProbabilistic

streaming mode | Pitch category

Inputs

  • signal (real) - the input mono audio signal

Outputs

  • pitch (vector_real) - the output pitch estimations

  • voicedProbabilities (vector_real) - the voiced probabilities

Parameters

  • frameSize (integer ∈ (0, ∞), default = 2048) :

    the frame size of FFT

  • hopSize (integer ∈ [1, ∞), default = 256) :

    the hop size with which the pitch is computed

  • lowRMSThreshold (real ∈ (0, 1], default = 0.1) :

    the low RMS amplitude threshold

  • outputUnvoiced (string ∈ {zero, abs, negative}, default = negative) :

    whether output unvoiced frame. zero: output non-voiced pitch as 0.; abs: output non-voiced pitch as absolute values; negative: output non-voiced pitch as negative values

  • preciseTime (bool ∈ {true, false}, default = false) :

    use non-standard precise YIN timing (slow).

  • sampleRate (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 44100) :

    the sampling rate of the audio signal [Hz]

Description

This algorithm computes the pitch track of a mono audio signal using probabilistic Yin algorithm.

  • The input mono audio signal is preprocessed with a FrameCutter to segment into frameSize chunks with a overlap hopSize.

  • The pitch frequencies, probabilities and RMS values of the chunks are then calculated by PitchYinProbabilities algorithm. The results of all chunks are aggregated into a Essentia pool.

  • The pitch frequencies and probabilities are finally sent to PitchYinProbabilitiesHMM algorithm to get a smoothed pitch track and a voiced probability.
