Tracking Harmonics and Artifacts in Spectra Using Sinusoidal and Spiral Maps

Authors: Catravas, Palmyra

AES Convention 122 · Paper 7123 · May 2007

Abstract

A technique for tracking a harmonic series in a spectrum using a combination of sinusoidal and spiral maps is described. The spiral map enhances patterns that appear when a sinusoid is sampled near the Nyquist rate. The correspondance between the maps facilitates derivation of properties and motivates the use of curves that cut across the sinusoid or spiral. As an application, the spatial separation of a specific musical pitch from an artifact is demonstrated.
