=================
Harmonic spectrum
=================
This notebook demonstrates how to extract the harmonic spectrum from an audio signal.
The basic idea is to estimate the fundamental frequency (f0) at each time step,
and extract the energy at integer multiples of f0 (the *harmonics*).
This representation can be used to represent the short-term evolution of timbre,
either for resynthesis [1]_ or downstream analysis [2]_.

# Next, we'll estimate the fundamental frequency (f0)
# of the voice using `librosa.pyin`.
#
# We'll constrain `f0` to lie within the range 50 Hz
# to 300 Hz.
#
# pyin returns three arrays:
# - `f0`, the sequence of fundamental frequency estimates
# - `voicing`, the sequence of indicator variables for whether
# a fundamental was detected or not at each time step
# - `voicing_probability`, the sequence of probabilities that each
# time step contains a fundamental frequency
#
# For this application, we'll only be using `f0`. Note that by default,
# pyin will set `f0[n] = np.nan` (not a number) whenever `voicing[n] == False`.
# We'll handle this situation later on when resynthesizing the signal.

# In the above figure, we can observe the same general
# patterns of spectral energy as in the full spectrogram,
# but notice that the shapes no longer move up and down
# with the f0 contour. The resulting `harmonic_energy`
# has been normalized with regard to the fundamental.
#
##############################################################
# From the f0 contour and the harmonic energy measurements,
# we can reconstruct an approximation to the original signal
# by sinusoidal modeling. This really just means adding up
# sine waves at the chosen set of frequencies and scaled
# appropriately by the amount of energy at that frequency
# over time.
#
# Since the f0 contour is a time-varying frequency measurement,
# the synthesis will need to support variable frequencies.
# Luckily, the `mir_eval.sonify` module does exactly this.
# We'll generate a separate signal for each harmonic separately,
# and add them into a mixture to better approximate the original
# signal.
# f0 takes value np.nan for unvoiced regions, but this isn't
# helpful for synthesis. We'll use `np.nan_to_num` to replace
# nans with a frequency of 0.

# The synthesized audio is not a perfect reconstruction
# of the input signal. Notably, it is derived from a
# sparse sinusoidal modeling assumption, and will
# therefore not do well at representing transients.
# The result is still largely intelligible, however,
# and the decoupling of f0 from harmonic energy allows
# us to modify the synthesized signal in various ways.
#
# For example, we can synthesize the same utterance
# with a constant f0 to produce a monotone effect.
