Overview

This automatic music transcription method takes as input a .wav recording of instrumental or vocal Turkish makam music with its corresponding makam and returns a list of detected notes (onset, duration, and pitch value in cent scale, centered around a tonic frequency). The tonic frequency for the recording can either be supplied by the user or can be automatically detected. More info can be found in the README files.
