Transposing Chroma Representations to a Common Key
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chroma representations of musical excerpts are nowadays very popular and used for a wide variety of applications. Within these, transposition to a common key or tonality can represent an important aspect, usually having a dramatic impact to final system’s accuracy. We present and evaluate a new and straightforward way for transposing two chroma representations to a common key that outperforms previous methods based on key estimation and that, without detriment of accuracy, is computationally faster than trying all possible transpositions. In addition, we also provide some insights into the internal organization of this new tool, suggesting it would organize transposition indices in a coherent manner.

EEH: AGGH-like public key cryptosystem over the eisenstein integers using polynomial representations
GGH class of public-key cryptosystems relies on computational problems based on the closest vector problem (CVP) in lattices for their security. The subject of lattice based cryptography is very active and there have recently been new ideas that revolutionized the field. We present EEH, a GGH-Like public key cryptosystem based on the Eisenstein integers Z [ζ3] where ζ3 is a primitive...
متن کاملGenre-specific Key Profiles
The most common approaches to the automatic recognition of musical key are template-based, i.e., an extracted pitch chroma vector is compared to a template key profile in order to identify the most similar key. General as well as domainspecific templates have been used in the past, but to the authors best knowledge there has been no study that evaluated genre-specific key profiles extracted fro...
متن کاملUnderstanding Features and Distance Functions for Music Sequence Alignment
We investigate the problem of matching symbolic representations directly to audio based representations for applications that use data from both domains. One such application is score alignment, which aligns a sequence of frames based on features such as chroma vectors and distance functions such as Euclidean distance. Good representations are critical, yet current systems use ad hoc constructi...
متن کاملOn the Impact of Key Detection Performance for Identifying Classical Music Styles
We study the automatic identification of Western classical music styles by directly using chroma histograms as classification features. Thereby, we evaluate the benefits of knowing a piece’s global key for estimating key-related pitch classes. First, we present four automatic key detection systems. We compare their performance on suitable datasets of classical music and optimize the algorithms’...
متن کاملMusic perception and octave generalization in rhesus monkeys.
Two rhesus monkeys were tested for octave generalization in 8 experiments by transposing 6- and 7-note musical passages by an octave and requiring same or different judgments. The monkeys showed no octave generalization to random-synthetic melodies, atonal melodies, or individual notes. They did show complete octave generalization to childhood songs (e.g., "Happy Birthday") and tonal melodies (...
