Automatic Music Accompanist
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic musical accompaniment is where a human musician is accompanied by a computer musician. The computer musician is able to produce musical accompaniment that relates musically to the human performance. The accompaniment should follow the performance using observations of the notes they are playing. This paper describes a complete and detailed construction of a score following and accompanying system using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). It details how to train a score HMM, how to deal with polyphonic input, how this HMM work when following score, how to build up a musical accompanist. It proposes a new parallel hidden Markov model for score following and a fast decoding algorithm to deal with performance errors.

Investigating the Role of Score Following in Automatic Musical Accompaniment
When suitable accompanists are not available to a soloist musician, an alternative possibility is to use computergenerated accompaniment. A computer accompanist should interact with the soloist and adapt to the soloist’s playing as a human accompanist would, both reacting to expressive nuances of tempo and to unintentional errors such as wrong or mistimed notes. Over the past 25 years, accompan...
متن کاملTempo Prediction Model for Accompaniment System
In this paper, we propose a tempo prediction model for an accompaniment system. To realize a system that acts as a human performer, it is necessary to clarify how performance control is done by human accompanists. In our previous study, we proposed a method for predicting the next beat time by using the previous history of two parameters: the time difference between the soloist and accompanist ...

متن کاملArtificially intelligent accompaniment using Hidden Markov Models to model musical structure
Background in Music Performance and Accompaniment. Musical accompanists may not always be available during practice, or the available accompanist may not have the technical ability necessary. As a solution to this problem, many musicians practise with pre-recorded accompaniment. Such an accompaniment is fixed and does not interact with the musician’s playing: the musician must adapt their perfo...
متن کاملVisualising Music for Performance Flexibility
We describe a visualisation system which allows an artist to perform music to a pre-recorded accompaniment without some of the constraints that normally render such a performance dull and lifeless. Musicians who perform with an accompanist or a band can't always practise together or may be unable to accept gigs by lack of availability of the other musician(s). In these circumstances, some artis...
