Computational Modeling of Chord Fingering for String Instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fingering is a cognitive process that maps each note on a music score to a fingered position on some instrument. This paper presents a computational model for the fingering process with string instruments, based on a constraint satisfaction approach. The model is implemented in a computer program, which has been tested in an experiment in comparison with three human experts. The results have confirmed the predictions based on a set of constraints that encode the bio-mechanical aspects of the performer’s hand in its interaction with the musical instrument.

Guitar Fingering for Music Performance
This paper presents a computational model of fingering for string instruments, based on a graph search approach. The implemented fingering model, which accounts for the bio-mechanical constraints of the performer’s hand, is interfaced with a physical model of the classical guitar, which exploits the fingering to compute some sound synthesis parameters. The output of the system is validated agai...
متن کاملCombined Audio and Video Analysis for Guitar Chord Identification
This paper presents a multi-modal approach to automatically identifying guitar chords using audio and video of the performer. Chord identification is typically performed by analyzing the audio, using a chroma based feature to extract pitch class information, then identifying the chord with the appropriate label. Even if this method proves perfectly accurate, stringed instruments add extra ambig...
متن کاملObject-based Sound Source Modeling
This thesis proposes techniques for object-based audio and music. The work can be divided into two parts corresponding to model-based synthesis of musical instruments and computational analysis of audio and music. The contributions of this work are in signal and auditory analysis, sound object modeling, and sound signal synthesis. The rst half of the thesis considers linear and particularly non...
متن کاملAutomated Violin Fingering Transcription Through Analysis of an Audio Recording
We present a method to recuperate fingerings for a given piece of violin music in order to recreate the timbre of a given audio recording of the piece. This is achieved by first analyzing an audio signal to determine the most likely sequence of two-dimensional fingerboard locations (string number and location along the string), which recovers elements of violin fingering relevant to timbre. Thi...
متن کاملCoordination of bowing and fingering in violin playing.
Playing string instruments implies motor skills including asymmetrical interlimb coordination. How special is musical skill as compared to other bimanually coordinated, non-musical skillful performances? We succeeded for the first time to measure quantitatively bimanual coordination in violinists playing repeatedly a simple tone sequence. A motion analysis system was used to record finger and b...
