subhToHarm: Subharmonics-to-harmonics ratio

In soundgen: Sound Synthesis and Acoustic Analysis

Subharmonics-to-harmonics ratio

Description

Internal soundgen function

Usage

subhToHarm(
  frame,
  bin,
  freqs,
  pitch,
  pitchCands = NULL,
  samplingRate,
  method = c("cep", "pitchCands", "harm")[1],
  nSubh = 5,
  tol = 0.05,
  nHarm = 5,
  harmThres = 12,
  harmTol = 0.25,
  amRange = c(10, 200)
)

Arguments

frame	the abs spectrum of a frame, as returned by fft
bin	spectrogram bin width, Hz
freqs	frequency per bin of spectrogram
pitch	pitch per frame, Hz
pitchCands	a list of pitch candidates and certainties sent from analyze()
samplingRate	sampling rate (Hz)
method	'cep' = cepstrum, 'pitchCands' = existing pitch candidates below f0, 'harm' = look for harmonic peaks. Only 'cep' is really working at the moment.
nSubh	the maximum ratio of f0 / g0 to consider
tol	target frequency (eg f0 / 2) has to be within tol * target (eg tol = .05 gives a tolerance of 5%)
nHarm	for method 'harm' only
harmThres	minimum height of spectral peak, dB
harmTol	maximum tolerated deviation of peak frequency from multiples of f0, proportion of f0

Details

Looks for pitch candidates (among the ones already found if method = 'pitchCands', or using some other pitch-tracking-like techniques such as cepstrum) at integer ratios of f0. If such candidates are found, they are treated as subharmonics. Note that this depends critically on accurate pitch tracking.
