Abstract

See full text

A method for assisting a user in tuning a drum comprising the steps of:

    considering a strike on the drum whereby the strike is detected in a sensor signal in at least one of following domains: a time domain, a frequency domain, a complex domain;recording a first sound fragment of the strike;converting the first sound fragment from the time domain to the frequency domain;analyzing the first sound fragment in order to detect a fundamental tone with fundamental tone frequency of the drum;calculating an overtone frequency or overtone frequency range of a first overtone of the drum by means of a predetermined algorithm related to the fundamental tone frequency;setting a filter with a pass frequency band covering the calculated overtone frequency or overtone frequency range; andindicating, via a user interface, at each further strike when the frequency of the first overtone detected in the pass frequency band is higher or lower than a target overtone frequency.
