In this paper we present a method for learning tempo classes in order to reduce tempo octave errors. There are two main contributions of this paper in the rhythm analysis field. Firstly, a novel technique is proposed to code the rhythm periodicity functions of a music signal. Target tempi range is divided into overlapping “tempo bands” and the periodicity function is filtered by triangular mask...

The estimation of the perceived tempo is required in many MIR applications. However, automatic tempo estimation itself is still an open problem due to the insufficient understanding of the inherent mechanisms of the tempo perception. Published methods only use the information of rhythm pattern, so they may meet the half/double tempo error problem. To solve this problem, We propose to use statis...

For audio music with time-varying meters, tempo estimation is a challenging task. This paper proposes several new low-level features of tempogram to determine pulse the classification of duple/triple meters, which can guide the determination of the overall tempo. After the judgment of meters, then we apply k-means clustering on tempo curve to perform tempo estimation. Index Terms – Tempo Estima...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of music tempo on heart rate and rate of perceived exertion of male physical education students. to this purpose, 45 male physical education students (height: 172.27 cm, sd=16.22, body mass index (bmi): 22.27kg/m², sd=3.08, weight: 68/05kg, sd=11.73, age: 21.93 years, sd=1.81) were randomly divided into control, high tempo (bpm=140)...

This preliminary study investigates the relationship between tempo indications in a score and the tempo performed by musicians. As several 18 century theorists point out, the chosen tempo should depend not only on the tempo indication, but also on other factors such as the time signature and the fastest note values to be played. It is examined whether the four main tempo indications (Adagio, An...

In the current state-of-art beat tracker, it is common that a specific algorithm do the best on particular kind of audio. For example, the algorithm based on two-fold dynamic programing have sequential 1 st place on time-varying-tempo MAZ dataset of MIREX audio beat tracking. This study proposed a tempogram-sensing-vector (TSV) method to be adaptive to time-varying-tempo and stable-tempo excerp...

Automatic beat tracking and tempo estimation are challenging tasks, especially for audio music with timevarying tempo. This paper proposes a two-fold dynamic programming (DP) approach to deal with beat tracking with time-varying tempo. In particular, the first DP computes the tempo curve from the tempogram. The second DP identifies the optimum beat positions from the novelty and tempo curves. E...
