A Drum Pattern Retrieval Method by Voice Percussion
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for voice percussion recognition and its application to drum pattern retrieval. Recognition of voice percussion (verbalized expression of drum sound by voice) requires an approach that is different from existing methods. Individual differences in both vocal characteristics and the kinds of verbal expressions used add further complication to the task. The approach taken in this study uses onomatopoeia as internal representation of drum sounds, and combines the recognition of voice percussion with the retrieval of intended drum patterns. This scheme is intended to deal with the two types of individual differences mentioned above. In a recognition experiment with 200 utterances of voice percussion, our method achieved a recognition rate of 91.0% for the highesttuned setting. keywords: voice percussion recognition, drum pattern retrieval, onomatopoeia representation

متن کاملQuery-by-Beat-Boxing: Music Retrieval For The DJ
BeatBoxing is a type of vocal percussion, where musicians use their lips, cheeks, and throat to create different beats. It is commonly used by hiphop and rap artists. In this paper, we explore the use of BeatBoxing as a query mechanism for music information retrieval and more speci£cally the retrieval of drum loops. A classi£cation system that automatically identi£es the individual beat boxing ...
متن کاملFrom Low-Level to Song-Level Percussion Descriptors of Polyphonic Music
We address here the automatic description of percussive events in real-world polyphonic music. By taking a pattern recognition approach we evaluate more than 2,450 objectlevel features. Three binary instrument-wise support vector machines (SVM) are built from a training set of more that 100 songs and 10 genres. Then, we use these binary models to build a drum transcription system achieving comp...
متن کاملThe Evolving Drum Machine
The expectation of the listener from house and techno music seems to be that percussion sounds will maintain the same timbre for the duration of a piece of music. For the composers of such musics the synthesizing of drum sounds of a quality equal to those available from commercial drum machines or samples is difficult and seems unnecessary. A system is presented here which provides a unique met...
متن کاملImitation Framework for Percussion
We present a framework for imitation of percussion performances with parameter-based learning for accurate reproduction. We constructed a robotic setup involving pull-solenoids attached to drum sticks which communicate with a computer through a microcontroller. The imitation framework allows for parameter adaptation to different mechanical constructions by learning the capabilities of the overa...
