چکیده

In this paper, a piano chords detector based on parallel interference cancellation (PIC) is presented. The proposed system makes use of the novel idea of modeling a segment of music as a third generation mobile communications signal, specifically, as a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) signal. The proposed model considers each piano note as a CDMA user in which the spreading code is replaced by a representative note pattern. The lack of orthogonality between the note patterns will make necessary to design a specific thresholding matrix to decide whether the PIC outputs correspond to the actual notes composing the chord or not. An additional stage that performs an octave test and a fifth test has been included that improves the error rate in the detection of these intervals that are specially difficult to detect. The proposed system attains very good results in both the detection of the notes that compose a chord and the estimation of the polyphony number.

A Statistical View on the Expressive Timing of Piano Rolled Chords

Rolled or arpeggiated chords are notated chords performed by playing the notes sequentially, usually from lowest to highest in pitch. Arpeggiation is a characteristic of musical expression, or expressive timing, in piano performance. However, very few studies have investigated rolled chord performance. In this paper, we investigate two expressive timing properties of piano rolled chords: equiva...

MAPS - A piano database for multipitch estimation and automatic transcription of music MAPS - Base de données de sons de piano pour l’estimation de fréquences fondamentales multiples et la transcription automatique de la musique

MAPS – standing for MIDI Aligned Piano Sounds – is a database of MIDI-annotated piano recordings. MAPS has been designed in order to be released in the music information retrieval research community, especially for the development and the evaluation of algorithms for single-pitch or multipitch estimation and automatic transcription of music. It is composed by isolated notes, random-pitch chords...

Multiple-F0 estimation of piano sounds exploiting spectral structure and temporal evolution

This paper proposes a system for multiple fundamental frequency estimation of piano sounds using pitch candidate selection rules which employ spectral structure and temporal evolution. As a time-frequency representation, the Resonator TimeFrequency Image of the input signal is employed, a noise suppression model is used, and a spectral whitening procedure is performed. In addition, a spectral f...

Affective evaluation of simultaneous tone combinations in congenital amusia

Congenital amusia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired pitch processing. Although pitch simultaneities are among the fundamental building blocks of Western tonal music, affective responses to simultaneities such as isolated dyads varying in consonance/dissonance or chords varying in major/minor quality have rarely been studied in amusic individuals. Thirteen amusics and th...

Unobtrusive practice tools for pianists

This paper proposes novel computer-based interfaces for piano practicing. They are designed to display in real time certain well-defined sub-aspects of piano playing. They are intelligent and unobtrusive in that they adjust automatically to the needs of the practitioner so that no other interaction is needed than moving the piano keys. They include 1) a pattern display, finding recurring pitch ...
