Simple and powerful instrument model for the source separation of polyphonic music
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a new approach to sound source separation. The introduced algorithm is based on spectral modeling of real instruments. The separation of independent sources is carried out by dividing the energy of the mixture signal based on these instrument models. This way it is possible to regain some of the information that was lost when the independent sources were mixed together into a single signal. The paper presents the theory behind the proposed separation system, then focuses on the instrument model that is the basic element of the approach. Measurement results are given for polyphony levels from 2 to 10 demonstrating the separation quality, with special regard to the effect of prints on the result. Key-Words: sound separation, instrument print, polyphonic music, energy split

Instrument models for source separation and transcription of music recordings For about fifteen years the study of chamber music recordings has focused on two distinct viewpoints : source separation and polyphonic transcription. Source separation tries to extract from a recording the signals corresponding to each musical instrument playing. Polyphonic transcription aims at describing a recordin...
متن کاملInstrument Recognition in Polyphonic Mixtures Using Spectral Envelopes
Instrument recognition in polyphonic music is a difficult task in computer audition. Many current methods approach this problem by first attempting to separate the timbre features among the sources present in the mixture using source separation, multi-pitch estimation, or noteonset techniques. Instrument (timbre) recognition then proceeds on these separated features. This study proposes another...
متن کاملMusical Instrument Recognition in Polyphonic Audio Using Source-Filter Model for Sound Separation
This paper proposes a novel approach to musical instrument recognition in polyphonic audio signals by using a source-filter model and an augmented non-negative matrix factorization algorithm for sound separation. The mixture signal is decomposed into a sum of spectral bases modeled as a product of excitations and filters. The excitations are restricted to harmonic spectra and their fundamental ...
متن کاملPolyphonic music separation based on the Simplified Energy Splitter
In the past years many approaches have been developed that target the separation of polyphonic music material into independent source signals. Due to lack of information on the original signals it is currently practically impossible to extract the original waveforms from their mixture. Thus all of the approaches target the reconstruction of signals that are at least in some way close to the ori...
متن کاملPolyphonic Instrument Recognition Using Spectral Clustering
The identification of the instruments playing in a polyphonic music signal is an important and unsolved problem in Music Information Retrieval. In this paper, we propose a framework for the sound source separation and timbre classification of polyphonic, multi-instrumental music signals. The sound source separation method is inspired by ideas from Computational Auditory Scene Analysis and formu...
