Automatic Segmentation of the Temporal Evolution of Isolated Acoustic Musical Instrument Sounds Using Spectro-temporal Cues
نویسنده
چکیده
The automatic segmentation of isolated musical instrument sounds according to the temporal evolution is not a trivial task. It requires a model capable of capturing regions such as the attack, decay, sustain and release accurately for many types of instruments with different modes of excitation. The traditional ADSR amplitude envelope model does not apply universally to acoustic musical instrument sounds with different excitation methods because it uses strictly amplitude information and supposes all sounds manifest the same temporal evolution. We present an automatic segmentation technique based on a more realistic model of the temporal evolution of many types of acoustic musical instruments that incorporates both temporal and spectrotemporal cues. The method allows a robust and more perceptually relevant automatic segmentation of the isolated sounds of many musical instruments that fit the model.

Timbre Recognition with Combined Stationary and Temporal Features
In this paper we consider the problem of modeling spectro-temporal behaviour of musical sounds, with applications for musical instrument recognition. Using instanteneous sound features, such as cepstral envelopes and cepstral derivatives, the temporal evolution of the sound is transcribed into a new representation as a sequence of spectral features. Applying information-theoretic sequence match...
متن کاملStudy of Spectro-temporal Parameters in Musical Performance for Expressive Instrument Synthesis
Modeling expressive synthesis requires to deal with a wide range of sound’s behavior that include spectral dynamics which are idiomatic to the instrument or characteristic of the playing technique. In the paper we analyze short time evolution of power-spectral envelopes, adaptively changing the analysis parameters so as to variably include filter envelopes, and the pitched excitation parts. Typ...
متن کاملModels of Timbre Using Spectro-temporal Receptive Fields: Investigation of Coding Strategies
Timbre designates all of the perceptual characteristics of sounds that cannot be described as pitch, loudness or duration. Behavioral experiments combined with multidimensional scaling techniques have proposed that a few main acoustic dimensions subserve the perception timbre for homogeneous ensembles of sounds (e.g., Western musical instrument sounds). It is unclear however whether these dimen...
متن کاملPhoneme Classification Using Temporal Tracking of Speech Clusters in Spectro-temporal Domain
This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...
متن کاملClassification of place of articulation in unvoiced stops with spectro-temporal surface modeling
Unvoiced stops are rapidly varying sounds with acoustic cues to place identity linked to the temporal dynamics. Neurophysiological studies have indicated the importance of joint spectro-temporal processing in the human perception of stops. In this study, two distinct approaches to modeling the spectro-temporal envelope of unvoiced stop phone segments are investigated with a view to obtaining a ...
