Yes. We've been conflated many times. Most amusing, perhaps, was the time U.C. Berkeley sent him my consulting contract. Steve

Not merely a slogan; you can actually drink to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHw_A8DUrFU ;) Gene

Unrelatedly, I notice my namesake DSP expert, Stephen Travis Pope, is an MIR expert. Was vaguely considering posing as said expert to the OP, but nah. Steve

"MIRU - MIR" (soviet communist slogan) Just don't do FFT for Christ sake...

I guessed if you had to ask what MIR stands for, you weren't the person he was looking for.

Thanks friends. Good to know I'm not banging my head against an easy one. Got a few responses.

You mean, not isolated sinusoids that barely move. ;) As others have mentioned, not trivial. If you're doing well with it, kudos.

Eh, you mean the many, many sinusoids that are all piled on top of each other and interspersed with just plain noise from things like percussion instruments? Unless you're just looking at flute solos, that is. It doesn't sound easy to me (see, I wasn't your guy!). What's your end goal? To write sheet music from a recording or some such? -- Tim Wescott Control systems, embedded software and circuit design I'm looking for work!

MIR is no piece of cake. note onset detection is hard, especially if the note is not percussive. and note release is even harder. since you're NYC, perhaps this person might interest you: http://www.nyu.edu/classes/bello/MIR_files/1-Introduction.pdf . otherwise, most of the hardcore MIR folks are at the Left Coast or in Montreal (one of the few European cites on the North American continent). rots-o-ruck. r b-j
