Beat Tracking Towards Automatic Musical Accompaniment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we address the issue of causal rhythmic analysis, primarily towards predicting the locations of musical beats such that they are consistent with a musical audio input. This will be a key component required for a system capable of automatic accompaniment with a live musician. We are implementing our approach as part of the aubio real-time audio library. While performance for this causal system is reduced in comparison to our previous non-causal system, it is still suitable for our intended purpose.

Improvasher: A Real-Time Mashup System for Live Musical Input
In this paper we present Improvasher a real-time musical accompaniment system which creates an automatic mashup to accompany live musical input. Improvasher is built around two music processing modules, the first, a performance following technique, makes beat-synchronous predictions of chroma features from a live musical input. The second, a music mashup system, determines the compatibility bet...
متن کاملTowards Automatic Rhythmic Accompaniment
In this thesis we investigate the automatic extraction of rhythmic and metrical information from audio signals. Primarily we address three analysis tasks: the extraction of beat times, equivalent to the human ability of foottapping in time to music; finding bar boundaries, which can be considered analogous to counting the beats of the bar; and thirdly the extraction of a predominant rhythmic pa...
متن کاملComputer Accompaniment and Music Understanding1
Music Understanding is the recognition or identification of structure and pattern in musical information. Five music understanding projects are discussed. In the first, Computer Accompaniment of Melodic Instruments, the goal is for a computer system to listen to and play along with a live performer, using a predetermined score. In the second project, the technique is extended to handle polyphon...
متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Tempo Trackers
One of the difficulties with assessing tempo or beat tracking systems is that there is no standard corpus of data on which they can be tested. This situation is partly because the choice of data set often depends on the goals of the system, which might be, for example, automatic transcription, computer accompaniment of a human performer, or the analysis of expressive timing in musical performan...
متن کاملA multimodal tempo and beat-tracking system based on audiovisual information from live guitar performances
The aim of this paper is to improve beat-tracking for live guitar performances. Beat-tracking is a function to estimate musical measurements, for example musical tempo and phase. This method is critical to achieve a synchronized ensemble performance such as musical robot accompaniment. Beat-tracking of a live guitar performance has to deal with three challenges: tempo fluctuation, beat pattern ...
