  • H. Purwins, B. Blankertz, and K. Obermayer. Constant Q Profiles for Tracking Modulations in Audio Data. . In Proceedings of the International Computer Music Conference, pages 274-276, 2001.
    Cq-profiles are 12-dimensional vectors, each component referring to a pitch class. They can be employed to represent keys. Cq-profiles are calculated with the constant Q filter bank (Brown and Puckette 92). They have the following advantages: (i) They correspond to probe tone ratings. (ii) Calculation is possible in real-time. (iii) Stability is obtained with respect to sound quality. (iv) They are transposable. Cq-profiles are reliably applied to modulation tracking by introducing a special distance measure.
