Transforming Vibrato Extent in Monophonic Sounds
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes research into signal transformation operators allowing to modify the vibrato extent in recorded sound signals. A number of operators are proposed that deal with the problem taking into account different levels of complexity. The experimental validation shows that the operators are effective in removing existing vibrato in real world recordings at least for the idealized case of long notes and with properly segmented vibrato sections. It shows as well that for instruments with significant noise level (flute) independent treatment of noise and harmonic signal components is required.

Time Domain Extraction of Vibrato from Monophonic Instruments
Introduction Vibrato is an essential ingredient in the expressive nature of many musical instruments. Creating slight oscillations in the pitch and/or volume of the musical tone, vibrato allows a long sustained note to become more lively and dynamic. Musical instruments differ in both the technique used to create vibrato as well as the physical characteristics of the vibrato-enhanced sound prod...
متن کاملVideo-Based Vibrato Detection and Analysis for Polyphonic String Music
In music performance, vibrato is an important artistic effect, where slight variations in pitch are introduced to add expressiveness and warmth. Automatic vibrato detection and analysis, although well studied for monophonic music, has rarely been explored for polyphonic music, because of the challenge in multi-pitch analysis. We propose a video-based approach for detecting and analyzing vibrato...
متن کاملPerceptual Evaluation of Vibrato Models
We promote a clearer definition of vibrato (Seashore, 1932), based on a review of various vibrato features. We also propose a generalised vibrato effect generator that includes spectral envelope modulation, and a frequency-dependent hysteresis behaviour. We then investigate the influence of spectral envelope modulation on perceived quality with a double-blind randomized AB comparison task. Eigh...
متن کاملPitch center of stringed instrument vibrato tones.
The determination of the pitch center of frequency modulated sounds has been the focus of a number of previous studies. The sources have usually been pure tones or synthetic complex sounds with a well-defined spectral composition. These synthetic sounds differ in temporal and spectral properties from the sounds produced by musical instruments; and it is these acoustic sounds which performers ar...
متن کاملUsing a Pitch Detector for Onset Detection
A segmentation strategy is explored for monophonic instrumental pitched non-percussive material (PNP) which proceeds from the assertion that human-like event analysis can be founded on a notion of stable pitch percept. A constant-Q pitch detector following the work of Brown and Puckette provides pitch tracks which are post processed in such a way as to identify likely transitions between notes....
