      'My Favorites' is a special kind of lens which you can use to bookmark modules and collections directly in Connexions. 'My Favorites' can only be seen by you, and collections saved in 'My Favorites' can remember the last module you were on. You need a Connexions account to use 'My Favorites'.

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

      What are tags? tag icon

      Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.

Matlab Code that implements Piano Note Detection

Module by: Alan Gostin

Summary: This module contains the complete code that implements the Piano Note Detection algorithm described on the preceding pages.

These are the files that contain the code that we used for this project. To run the entire program on a song, place all the files in the Matlab's current directory, and run convertsong(filename), where filename is the name of the wav file containing the song recording. The filename should be inside quotation marks "".

Figure 1: The main program. To run our entire algorithm on a song, run this file on it, giving only the file name as a parameter.
The Main Program
Media File: convertsong.m
Figure 2: Our Matlab code for finding the times that notes were played at.
Note Onset Detection Code
Media File: timeout.m
Figure 3: Our Matlab code for finding the frequencies of piano notes.
Frequency Detection Code
Media File: findfrequencies.m
Figure 4: Matlab code for converting frequencies into the corresponding notes.

Figure 5: Our Matlab code for finding the lengths of all the notes and the tempo of the song.
