Abstract
This paper proposes the modified harmonic product spectrum method for the multiple pitch estimation of polyphonic music using the harmonic spectrum structure. It also introduces the competition mechanism to improve the accuracy rate. The harmonic components energy distribution was reconsidered, and the first nine partials are then found prominent. Based on a large collection of polyphonic music samples, the proposed method shows the great performance over different types of western instruments.
