Musicians often lack the ability to harmonize their voices within a track. To help with this matter, a tool can be developed for detecting the scale or key in which a track is sung and synthesizing pitches to make a triadchord or a tetrachord (combinations of three or four notes that fit in the scale's harmony) for each corresponding tone in the melody. In this paper, we present a fast and precise method to detect the pitch of voice and shift it to the appropriate frequencies, consequently building up a harmony out of the original melody. Four techniques are involved in this sequential process: segmentation into consonant and vowel intervals, pitch detection by the McLeod Pitch Method (MPM), functional harmony for establishing a cadence, and pitch shifting by means of a phase vocoder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
