Hello netters,

I posed a question on this a few weeks ago and there were no takers,
so here goes again. What's a good strategy for pitch detection when
the input signal is complex and not harmonically related? Is there
anything less intensive than a full FFT per frame to go on? Problem
is, both in speech and ethnomusicology (and everywhere in between)
there are often interesting signals that are not harmonic series, so
autocorrelation and wavelet techniques won't work.

How about it?
