Momel ( Mo delling mel ody) is an algorithm developed by Daniel Hirst and Robert Espesser at the CNRS Laboratoire Parole et Langage , Aix-en-Provence : for the analysis and synthesis of intonation patterns.
54-514: The analysis of raw fundamental frequency curves for the study of intonation needs to take into account the fact that speakers are simultaneously producing an intonation pattern and a sequence of syllables made up of segmental phones. The actual raw fundamental frequency curves which can be analysed acoustically are the result of an interaction between these two components and this makes it difficult to compare intonation patterns when they are produced with different segmental material. Compare for example

It works because if φ has such an expansion, then (under suitable convergence assumptions)

378-455: A fundamental is also considered a harmonic is because it is 1 times itself. The fundamental is the frequency at which the entire wave vibrates. Overtones are other sinusoidal components present at frequencies above the fundamental. All of the frequency components that make up the total waveform, including the fundamental and the overtones, are called partials. Together they form the harmonic series. Overtones which are perfect integer multiples of

Once set into motion, it will oscillate at its natural frequency. For a single degree of freedom oscillator, a system in which the motion can be described by a single coordinate, the natural frequency depends on two system properties: mass and stiffness; (providing the system

This superposition or linear combination is called the Fourier series. From a modern point of view, Fourier's results are somewhat informal, due to the lack of a precise notion of function and integral in the early nineteenth century. Later, Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet and Bernhard Riemann expressed Fourier's results with greater precision and formality. Although
594-399: Is a partial differential equation . Prior to Fourier's work, no solution to the heat equation was known in the general case, although particular solutions were known if the heat source behaved in a simple way, in particular, if the heat source was a sine or cosine wave. These simple solutions are now sometimes called eigensolutions . Fourier's idea was to model a complicated heat source as

Since Fourier's time, many different approaches to defining and understanding the concept of Fourier series have been discovered, all of which are consistent with one another, but each of which emphasizes different aspects of the topic. Some of the more powerful and elegant approaches are based on mathematical ideas and tools that were not available in Fourier's time. Fourier originally defined
810-456: Is an expansion of a periodic function into a sum of trigonometric functions . The Fourier series is an example of a trigonometric series , but not all trigonometric series are Fourier series. By expressing a function as a sum of sines and cosines, many problems involving the function become easier to analyze because trigonometric functions are well understood. For example, Fourier series were first used by Joseph Fourier to find solutions to

1134-1930: Is particularly useful for its insight into the rationale for the series coefficients. The exponential form is most easily generalized for complex-valued functions. (see § Complex-valued functions ) The equivalence of these forms requires certain relationships among the coefficients. For instance, the trigonometric identity : cos ( 2 π n P x − φ n ) ≡ cos ( φ n ) ⋅ cos ( 2 π n P x ) + sin ( φ n ) ⋅ sin ( 2 π n P x ) {\displaystyle \cos \left(2\pi {\tfrac {n}{P}}x-\varphi _{n}\right)\ \equiv \ \cos(\varphi _{n})\cdot \cos \left(2\pi {\tfrac {n}{P}}x\right)+\sin(\varphi _{n})\cdot \sin \left(2\pi {\tfrac {n}{P}}x\right)} means that : A n = D n cos ( φ n ) and B n = D n sin ( φ n ) D n = A n 2 + B n 2 and φ n = arctan ( B n , A n ) . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}&A_{n}=D_{n}\cos(\varphi _{n})\quad {\text{and}}\quad B_{n}=D_{n}\sin(\varphi _{n})\\\\&D_{n}={\sqrt {A_{n}^{2}+B_{n}^{2}}}\quad {\text{and}}\quad \varphi _{n}=\arctan(B_{n},A_{n}).\end{aligned}}} Therefore A n {\displaystyle A_{n}} and B n {\displaystyle B_{n}} are

1620-399: The Fourier series converges to the function at almost everywhere . It is possible to define Fourier coefficients for more general functions or distributions, in which case point wise convergence often fails, and convergence in norm or weak convergence is usually studied.

When an overtone is near to being harmonic, but not exact, it is sometimes called a harmonic partial, although they are often referred to simply as harmonics.

The Momel algorithm attempts to solve this problem by factoring the raw curves into two components: The quadratic spline function used to model the macromelodic component is defined by a sequence of target points, (couples <s, Hz> each pair of which is linked by two monotonic parabolic curves with the spline knot occurring (by default) at

The first derivative of the curve thus defined is zero at each target point and the two parabolas have the same value and same derivative at the spline knot.

The fundamental may be created by vibration over the full length of a string or air column, or a higher harmonic chosen by the player. The fundamental is one of the harmonics .

2538-528: The partials and harmonics is then usually the same; the second partial is the second harmonic, etc. But if there are inharmonic partials, the numbering no longer coincides. Overtones are numbered as they appear above the fundamental. So strictly speaking, the first overtone is the second partial (and usually the second harmonic). As this can result in confusion, only harmonics are usually referred to by their numbers, and overtones and partials are described by their relationships to those harmonics. Consider
