Estimating Parameters from Audio for an Eg+lfomodel of Pitch Envelopes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Envelope generator (EG) and Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) parameters give a compact representation of audio pitch envelopes. By estimating these parameters from audio per-note, they could be used as part of an audio coding scheme. Recordings of various instruments and articulations were examined, and pitch envelopes found. Using an evolutionary algorithm, EG and LFO parameters for the envelopes were estimated. The resulting estimated envelopes are compared to both the original envelope, and to a fixedpitch estimate. Envelopes estimated using EG+LFO can closely represent the envelope from the original audio and provide a more accurate estimate than the mean pitch.

Object coding of music using expressive MIDI
Structured audio uses a high level representation of a signal to produce audio output. When it was first introduced in 1998, creating a structured audio representation from an audio signal was beyond the state-of-the-art. Inspired by object coding and structured audio, we present a system to reproduce audio using Expressive MIDI, high-level parameters being used to represent pitch expression fr...

A new method for estimating the fundamental frequencies of concurrent musical sounds is described. The method is based on an iterative approach, where the fundamental frequency of the most prominent sound is estimated, the sound is subtracted from the mixture, and the process is repeated for the residual signal. For the estimation stage, an algorithm is proposed which utilizes the frequency rel...

We address the task of synchronizing a given phoneme transcription with the corresponding speech signal, when the latter is linearly mixed with background music. To that end, we propose a new method based on Non-negative Matrix Factorization in the time-frequency domain, which models the speech as a source-filter factorization that includes a synchronization parameter matrix. Phoneme models, wh...
