Study of automatic chord estimation systems in digital music

July 13, 2017

In this project, we will focus on one concrete area of the music transcription: automatic chord estimation (ACE). We will analyze the main subsystems inside an automatic chord estimation system, and how, modifying theirs parameters, changes the result of the estimation. The analyzed subsystems have been divided in some categories depending on the part of […]

Applications for psychoacoustic auditory training

A suite of applications with graphic interface for the auditive training has been developed. Those applications are meant to be used by sound proffessionals (producers, sound designers and sound engineers), but it could be used by any user with a basic computing level. The psychoacoustic ear training seeks for the education and tunning of the […]

Algorithmic music composition from chord sequencies

This project is about the implementation of a simple application of hybrid algorithmic composition based on rules and probabilities, in which it can be decided whether these rules act or not, or the different implemented algorithms, so that results can be compared or to have the possibility to be part of the composition process, making […]

Gamification for creation of music teaching applications

The main objective of this project is to create a support system in the classroom to facilitate learning music in reading rhythms, one of the basic subjetcs in music learning for any student. This will be done in a web environment, trying to be easy, simple, friendly and accessible for any user. The tool has […]

Automatic chord estimation from audio through instrumental classification

September 27, 2016

Extracting music information, specifically the automatic chord detection, is an open research area for many years because of the difficulty of performing this task manually. Thus, the development and implementation of an automatic system estimation chord from audio signals by comparing harmonic patterns (cromagrama) is proposed. The main objective for this work is to use […]

Study and evaluation of music beat tracking algorithms

June 1, 2016

A music beat tracker is a procedure that is able to extract the times where a human would clap or tap when he or she listens to a piece of music. Automatic transcription of music genre classification use extensively this kind of information for improve their results. Onset detection is an important tool for beat […]

Study and implementation of sonification methods

December 1, 2015

This project shows the bases of the sonification process, a current research field for the analysis and interpretation of information, proposing three designs in different abstraction levels: a first design to show the basis, a design to map images for machinery control and visual impaired to sounds in a virtual environment, and a third one […]

Automatic chord estimation for using in musical audio transcription

The aim of this project is to implement a basic system of chord detection in music audio signals. From them, the chromagram is extracted and compared with a series of patterns that are characteristic of the chords to be estimated. The comparison is made through a similarity measure and different ways of creating the patterns […]
