TempoExpress, a CBR Approach to Musical Tempo Transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a CBR system for applying musically acceptable tempo transformations to monophonic audio recordings of musical performances. Within the tempo transformation process, the expressivity of the performance is adjusted in such a way that the result sounds natural for the new tempo. A case base of previously performed melodies is used to infer the appropriate expressivity. Tempo transformation is one of the audio post-processing tasks manually done in audiolabs. Automatizing this process may, therefore, be of industrial interest.

Navigating Through Case Base Competence
The development of large-scale case-based reasoning systems has increased the necessity of providing tools for analyzing the case base structure. In this paper we present a hierarchical competence model approach based on the solution qualities. Using this hierarchical approach we propose a new method for visualizing case base competence and understanding the way a CBR system behaves in differen...
متن کاملTempoExpress: An Expressivity-Preserving Musical Tempo Transformation System
The research described in this paper focuses on global tempo transformations of monophonic audio recordings of saxophone jazz performances. More concretely, we have investigated the problem of how a performance played at a particular tempo can be automatically rendered at another tempo while preserving its expressivity. To do so we have developed a case-based reasoning system called TempoExpres...
متن کاملPlay It Again: A Case-Based Approach to Expressivity-Preserving Tempo Transformations in Music
It has been long established that when humans perform music, the result is never a literal mechanical rendering of the score. That is, humans deviate from the score. As far as these performance deviations are intentional, they are commonly thought of as conveying musical expressivity which is a fundamental aspect of music. Two main functions of musical expressivity are generally recognized. Fir...
متن کاملExtracting Performers' Behaviors to Annotate Cases in a CBR System for Musical Tempo Transformations
In this paper we describe a method, based on the edit distance, to construct cases of musical performances by annotating them with the musical behavior of the performer. The cases constructed with this knowledge are used in Tempo-Express, a CBR system for applying tempo transformations to musical performances, preserving musical
