Download j-DAFx - Digital Audio Effects in Java This paper describes an attempt to provide an online learning platform for digital audio effects. After a comprehensive study of different technologies presenting multimedia content dynamically reacting to user input, we decided to use Java Applets. Further investigations regard the implementation issues - especially the processing and visualization of audio data - and present a general framework used in our department. Recent and future digital effects implemented in this framework can be found on our web site.
Download Polyphonic Pitch Detection by Iterative Analysis of the Autocorrelation Function In this paper, a polyphonic pitch detection approach is presented, which is based on the iterative analysis of the autocorrelation function. The idea of a two-channel front-end with periodicity estimation by using the autocorrelation is inspired by an algorithm from Tolonen and Karjalainen. However, the analysis of the periodicity in the summary autocorrelation function is enhanced with a more advanced iterative peak picking and pruning procedure. The proposed algorithm is compared to other systems in an evaluation with common data sets and yields good results in the range of state of the art systems.
