Abstract:
Real-time pitch detection of voiced musical notes involves converting sound waves, produced by a voiced rendition of one or more musical notes, to a time domain electronic audio signal. The electronic audio signal is processed to determine a true pitch of the time domain electronic audio signal. True pitch information is displayed in real-time, concurrent with the voiced rendition of each musical note. A pitch indicator conveys to a user information concerning the true pitch which has been determined. The true pitch is determined by segmenting the electronic audio signal into a plurality of audio signal samples and applying a constant-Q transform. Additional processing steps are applied to reduce pitch detection errors.
