TuningFrequency¶

streaming mode | Tonal category

Inputs¶

frequencies (vector_real) - the frequencies of the spectral peaks [Hz]

magnitudes (vector_real) - the magnitudes of the spectral peaks

Outputs¶

tuningFrequency (real) - the tuning frequency [Hz]

tuningCents (real) - the deviation from 440 Hz (between -35 to 65 cents)

Parameters¶

resolution (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 1) :
resolution in cents (logarithmic scale, 100 cents = 1 semitone) for tuning frequency determination

Description¶

This algorithm estimates the tuning frequency give a sequence/set of spectral peaks. The result is the tuning frequency in Hz, and its distance from 440Hz in cents. This version is slightly adapted from the original algorithm [1], but gives the same results.

Input vectors should have the same size, otherwise an exception is thrown. This algorithm should be given the outputs of the spectral peaks algorithm.

Application: Western vs non-western music classification, key estimation, HPCP computation, tonal similarity.
