detect-pitch

Detects the pitch of a signal using the autocorrelation method.

Example

var detectPitch = require('detect-pitch')
 
var n = 1024
var ω = 2.0 * Math.PI / n
 
//Initialize signal
var signal = new Float32Array(n)
for(var i=0; i<n; ++i) {
  signal[i] = Math.sin(100 * i * ω)
}
 
console.log(Math.round(n / detectPitch(signal)))
 
//Prints out:
//
//    100
//

Install

npm install detect-pitch

require('detect-pitch')(signal[, threshold])

Detects the pitch of signal by computing the period by autocorrelation.

• signal is a snippet of an audio signal. Represented as either a typed array or an ndarray.
• threshold is an optional parameter between 0 and 1 which determines the cutoff for reporting a successful detection. Higher values indicate stricture cutoff. Default is 0

Returns The number of samples in the period of the signal. If no pitch was detected, returns 0. To recover the pitch frequency, you need to divide the sample rate by this number (note that this will be NaN for signals with no pitch):

var pitchInHz = sampleRateInHz / periodInSamples
