摘要： An audio apparatus extracts information of a musical performance from an acoustic signal having a frequency and an amplitude, which time-vary during the musical performance. In the audio apparatus, a filtering device has a plurality of filters which are set with different cutoff frequencies so as to pass different frequency ranges of the acoustic signal. A pitch detecting device is connected to the filtering device for processing the acoustic signal to detect therefrom a pitch. A controlling device operates according to the detected pitch fed back from the pitch detecting device for selecting one of the filters set with one of the different cutoff frequencies adapted to the pitch of the acoustic signal so that the pitch detecting device can detect the pitch based on the acoustic signal filtered by the selected filter. Further, the envelope detecting device has a plurality of envelope followers corresponding to the plurality of the filters. Each envelope follower processes the acoustic signal to extract therefrom an envelope representing a time-variation of the amplitude of the acoustic signal and containing an upward portion and a downward portion such that each envelope follower forms the downward portion by a given slope which matches the frequency range of the corresponding filter.

摘要： In an electronic musical apparatus having an acoustic instrument manually operable to commence an acoustic vibration and a tone generator responsive to the acoustic vibration to generate a musical tone having a pitch corresponding to that of the acoustic vibration, a pitch detecting device utilizes a pickup for picking up the acoustic vibration to convert the same into a waveform signal. Further, a first detector operates according to a fast algorithm for processing the waveform signal so as responsively produce a first output representative of the pitch of the acoustic vibration, and a second detector operates in parallel to the first detector for processing the same waveform signal according to a slow algorithm so as to stably produce a second output representative of the pitch of the acoustic vibration. A selector selectively feeds one of the first output and the second output to the tone generator so that the first detector and the second detector can cooperate to ensure responsive and stable detection of the pitch. An additional detector processes the waveform signal to measure a time interval between a pair of the peaks so as to detect a plucking point. A controller controls the tone generator according to the detected plucking point to change the timbre of the tone generator.

摘要： There is provided a method of determining the pitch in string instruments that are excited by plucking or striking, wherein a vibration of a string is converted by a transducer into an electrical signal and the electrical signal is evaluated.Up to now, the transducers have primarily been electromagnetic transducers for which a plurality of evaluation algorithms and methods are available.

摘要： A method is specified for pitch recognition, in particular for musical instruments which are excited by plucking or striking, in the case of which method the interval between zero crossings of a signal waveform of an audio signal is used as a measure for the period length of the audio signal. Reliable pitch recognition is intended to be possible in a simple manner using such a method. The method is intended to be capable of being implemented with a low level of computation power. To this end, the magnitude of the gradient of the signal waveform is in each case determined in the region of its zero crossings, and the magnitude of the gradient is used as an assessment criterion for the selection of the zero crossings to be evaluated.
