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, usual musical chords and pieces of music. The database provides a large amount of sounds obtained in various recording conditions.
