We present a progress report on a detailed analysis of long-term (70–90 years) visual observations for seven semiregular variables. Fundamental changes of the physical state (amplitude and/or frequency modulations, mode change and switching) are studied with conventional Fourier- and wavelet analyses. Besides two examples of repetitive mode changes we report a simple geometric model of a rotationally induced amplitude modulation in RY Ursae Majoris.
