Author:

Joren Six Create a new tone scale. A tone scale is defined as a wrapping histogram with values from 0 to 1200 cents.
Warning: some exotic 'tone scales' span more than one octave these will be folded to one octave. E.g.

 ! mambuti.scl
 !
 African Mambuti Flutes (aerophone; vertical wooden; one note each)
 8
 !
  204.000 cents
  411.000 cents
  710.000 cents
 1000.000 cents
 1206.000 cents
 1409.000 cents
 1918.000 cents
 2321.001 cents
 

Would be (mistakenly?) represented as:

    6.000 cents (1206 - 1200)
  204.000 cents                |
  209.000 cents (1409 - 1200)  |
  411.000 cents
  710.000 cents                |
  718.000 cents (1918 - 1200)  |
 1000.000 cents
 1121.001 cents (2321 - 1200)
 

The scala scale archive is a collection of 3772 scales; 424 of which do not end on an octave (mostly ambitus descriptions of an instrument).

Constructor Detail

PitchClassHistogram

public PitchClassHistogram()

Create a new tone scale using the configured bin width. A tone scale is a wrapping histogram with values from 0 to 1200 cents.

Method Detail

exportToScalaScaleFileFormat

public void exportToScalaScaleFileFormat(java.lang.String fileName,
                                         java.lang.String toneScaleName)

Executes peak detection on this histogram and saves the scale in the Scala scale file format: This file format for musical tunings is becoming a standard for exchange of scales, owing to the size of the scale archive of over 3700+ scales and the popularity of the Scala program.

Parameters:

fileName - The scala file name.

toneScaleName - The name of the tone scale.

exportPeaksToScalaFileFormat

public static void exportPeaksToScalaFileFormat(java.lang.String fileName,
                                                java.lang.String toneScaleName,
                                                java.util.List<Peak> peaks)

Saves the scale in the Scala scale file format: This file format for musical tunings is becoming a standard for exchange of scales, owing to the size of the scale archive of over 3700+ scales and the popularity of the Scala program.

Parameters:

fileName -

toneScaleName -

peaks -

                                                  double[] heights)

                                                  double[] widths)

public static PitchClassHistogram createToneScale(double[] peaks,
                                                  double[] heights,
                                                  double[] widths,
                                                  double[] standardDeviations)

Creates a theoretical tone scale using a mixture of Gaussian functions See an automatic pitch analysis method for Turkish maqam music. The theoretic scale can be used to search for similar tone scales using histogram correlation.

Parameters:

peaks - the position of the peaks. The position is defined in cents.

heights - the heights of the peaks. If null the heights for all peaks is 200.

widths - the widths of the peaks in cents. If null the width is 25 cents for all peaks. The width is measured at a certain height. The mean?

standardDeviations - defines the shape of the peak. If null the standard deviation is 1. Bigger values give a wider peak.

Returns:

a histogram with values from 0 to 1200 and the requested peaks.

isMelodic

public boolean isMelodic()

Checks if the tone scale is "melodic": it has one or more clearly defined peaks. Talking people, noise or other random sounds are not melodic.

Returns:

true if the tone scale has clearly defined peaks, false otherwise.
