We describe a proof-of-principle implementation of a system for drawing melodies that abstracts away from a note-level input representation via melodic contours. The aim is to allow users to express their musical intentions without…
Guitar tablature transcription is an important but understudied problem within the field of music information retrieval. Traditional signal processing approaches offer only limited performance on the task, and there is little acoustic data…
This report aims at presenting (yet) a(nother) methodology to design and implement a linear controller for linear dynamical systems on practical applications. The specificity of this report is that authors try to cover (obviously in a non…
In Music Information Retrieval (MIR), modeling and transforming the tone of musical instruments, particularly electric guitars, has gained increasing attention due to the richness of the instrument tone and the flexibility of expression.…
Music is a form of expression that often requires interaction between players. If one wishes to interact in such a musical way with a computer, it is necessary for the machine to be able to interpret the input given by the human to find its…
Context: Data miners have been widely used in software engineering to, say, generate defect predictors from static code measures. Such static code defect predictors perform well compared to manual methods, and they are easy to use and…
As computing system become more complex, it is becoming harder for programmers to keep their codes optimized as the hardware gets updated. Autotuners try to alleviate this by hiding as many architecture-based optimization details as…
Whereas chord transcription has received considerable attention during the past couple of decades, far less work has been devoted to transcribing and encoding the rhythmic patterns that occur in a song. The topic is especially relevant for…
A guitar string represents a wave, and by associating a qubit to each of its playable states we get a quantum wave. This is the principle behind our Quantum Guitar: `quantising all strings of a guitar'. In order to achieve this…
Tablature notation is widely used in popular music to transcribe and share guitar musical content. As a complement to standard score notation, tablatures transcribe performance gesture information including finger positions and a variety of…
Although the automatic identification of the optimal fingering for the performance of melodies on fretted string instruments has already been addressed (at least partially) in the literature, the specific case regarding lead electric guitar…
The aim of this study is to teach an algorithm how to recognize different types of music. Users will submit songs for analysis. Since the algorithm hasn't heard these songs before, it needs to figure out what makes each song unique. It does…
Electric guitar tone modeling typically focuses on the non-linear transformation from clean to amplifier-rendered audio. Traditional methods rely on one-to-one mappings, incorporating device parameters into neural models to replicate…
Parameter selection is one of the most important parts for nearly all the control strategies. Traditionally, controller parameters are chosen by utilizing trial and error, which is always tedious and time consuming. Moreover, such method is…
The tone hole geometry of a clarinet is optimized numerically. The instrument is modeled as a network of one dimensional transmission line elements. For each (non-fork) fingering, we first calculate the resonance frequencies of the input…
MLtuner automatically tunes settings for training tunables (such as the learning rate, the momentum, the mini-batch size, and the data staleness bound) that have a significant impact on large-scale machine learning (ML) performance.…
Synthesizing performing guitar sound is a highly challenging task due to the polyphony and high variability in expression. Recently, deep generative models have shown promising results in synthesizing expressive polyphonic instrument sounds…
Guitar Pickups have been in production for nearly 100 years, and the question of how exactly one pickup is tonally superior to another is still subject to a high level of debate. This paper is the first in a set demystifying the production…
This research investigates the feasibility of producing affordable, functional acoustic guitars using 3D printing, with a focus on producing structural designs with proper tonal performance. Conducted in collaboration with William…
We explore the use of neural synthesis for acoustic guitar from string-wise MIDI input. We propose four different systems and compare them with both objective metrics and subjective evaluation against natural audio and a sample-based…
