The Schultz MIDI Benchmarking Toolbox for MIDI interfaces, percussion pads, and sound cards

MIR In Matlab: The MIDI Toolbox

150-200 words) The MIDI Toolbox is a compilation of functions for analyzing and visualizing MIDI files in the Matlab computing environment. In this article, the basic issues of the Toolbox are summarized and demonstrated with examples ranging from melodic contour, similarity, keyfinding, meter-finding to segmentation. The Toolbox is based on symbolic musical data but signal processing methods a...

Benchmarking Wave-to-MIDI Transcription Tools

This paper describes a methodology for building a benchmark to evaluate automatic music transcription tools, i.e., softwares that can extract music information from digital audio signals. There are numerous applications to these tools, like data acquisition for music virtual libraries and computer-aided music learning for instance. The main purpose of this benchmark is to present a method to ra...

Midi Share

This paper introduces MidiShare, a real time software module meant for the development of Midi applications in a multi-tasks context. MidiShare brings facility in most of the fields concerned with the development of musical applications: communications management, precise time control, tasks scheduling. The originality of MidiShare lies in its capacity to deal with multiple Midi applications ru...

Automatic conversion of sound to the MIDI- format

An experimental system for converting an audio signal into MIDI representation is presented. The system works in the frequency domain. A constant Q transform is used to compute spectrograms from which the partials are tracked. The partial trajectories are then parameterized in time and frequency resulting in a “pianola roll” representation, suitable for conversion to MIDI-code. The system perfo...
