Re: multi-pitches of quasi-periodic musical tone

[Matt Flax <flatmax@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chen-gia,

I am not 100% sure what is going on in that transcription ... it does
look like you have captured some form of tonal reference in them.
Assuming you have used temporal correlative techniques to generate these
then you may also want to check out the place models.

For references you can check the paper which is distributed with an
algorithm of my own which is still in development ...

Multi-pitches of these quasi-periodic complex tones have been transcribed with the help of autocorrelation. However, it seems that stream segregations due to multi-pitches is noticeable, but the perceived pitches are ambiguous.
