HCDF aims to detect harmonic transitions in musical audio signals. HCDF is crucial both for the chord recognition in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and a wide range of creative applications. In light of recent advances in harmonic description and transformation, we depart from the original architecture of Harte et al.’s HCDF, to revisit each one of its component blocks, which are evaluated using an exhaustive grid search aimed to identify optimal parameters across four large style-specific musical datasets. Our results show that the newly proposed methods and parameter optimization improve the detection of harmonic changes, by 5.57% (f-score) with respect to previous methods. Furthermore, while guaranteeing recall values at > 99%, our method improves precision by 6.28%. Aiming to leverage novel strategies for real-time harmonic-content audio processing, the optimized HCDF is made available for Javascript and the MAX and Pure Data multimedia programming environments. Moreover, all the data as well as the Python code used to generate them, are made available.<br /><br /> Graduado en Ingeniería Informática Derechos regulados por licencia Creative Commons Bernardes de Almeida, Gilberto dir.
