The thesis is still being prepared and should be available later this summer sometime. I will make a further announcement. The technique I use involves an adaptive notch filter/harmonic frequency-locked loop to track the instantaneous frequency of each partial belonging to the voice. I used voices because the technique works best on continuous, minimally articulated sounds. Other musical instruments, such as violin, trumpet, clarinet, etc., could be tracked equally well, provided that they are somewhat continuous. Segmenting articulated notes is currently problematic. For example, a rapid succession of piano notes would cause my algorithm to become confused. Automatic segmentation is a future project for which I have definite ideas. These sounds are in 44.1KHz, 16-bit, mono NeXT snd format. Sorry about the bulk. (At least I collapsed the stereo tracks down to mono!) baritone.diff.snd baritone.isolated.snd baritone.orig.snd This is a 4.1 second segment of a baritone and orchestra from the "Barber of Seville". The voice and orchestra have been separated from each other. The algorithm does well on vibrato. soprano.diff.snd soprano.isolated.snd soprano.orig.snd Another snippet from the "Barber of Seville." This 4.1 second example contains a soprano, baritone, and orchestra. The soprano has been separated. The quality here isn't so great, but then again, the mixture really is quite complex. days.diff.snd days.isolated.snd days.orig.snd This is an 8.4 second segment from 10,000 Maniacs' "These are the days". Natalie sings in a mix with melody and harmony parts as well as instrumentals. The melody part has been separated from the harmony and instruments. Despite the articulations, the algorithm manages to track the melody through the mixture. etern.diff.snd etern.isolated.snd etern.orig.snd This is a 22 second snippet of Kathleen Battle and Wynton Marsalis together in "eternal source of light divine" by Handel. Battle is accompanied by soft harpsichord plus some trumpet at the end by Marsalis. Again, the voice has been separated from the mixture.

Second, when you say that the algorithm becomes confused by articulated notes, does it get confused in an interesting way? :-) --- Joe "always looking for more tools to abuse" M. -- "Will somebody get the cat off the fender Rhodes?"

I have tried to bring some structure into it, but not all books will fit into a single subject. NOTE: I haven't read these books, and the comments are from other people. The latest version of this file can be obtained by ftp from ftp.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.17] in pub/MIDI/DOC/bibliography or by mail from mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (send a message with HELP in the body). From the mail-server the filename without pub/ should be used. The latest monthly version is also available in the various news.answers archives around the world, in music/midi/bibliography. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Jun 1994 11:09:17 AM From: Stephen Travis Pope Subject: Computer Music Journal Internet Archive and WWW Home Page Announcing the Computer Music Journal Internet Archive and World-Wide Web Home Page This archive is a set of files that are stored on two Internet-accessible servers--one at MIT and one at Stanford--for the use of CMJ readers and members of the computer music community in general. The "root" directories are for the archive are "mitpress.mit.edu:/pub/Computer-Music-Journal" and "ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu:/pub/Publications/cmj." The archive includes the tables of contents, abstracts, and editor's notes for the last several volumes of CMJ (including the recent bibliography, diskography, and taxonomy of the field), a number of useful CM-related documents such as the full MIDI and AIFF format specifications, a lengthy reference list, the guidelines for manuscript submission, and the full text of several recent articles. The files in these directories can be copied via anonymous Internet ftp file transfer, and there also is a World-Wide Web (WWW) "home page" in the file named "CMJ.html" that contains useful pointers into the archive (and elsewhere) and provides hypertext access for users of web browsers such as the NCSA's Mosaic. The document reproduced below is part of the archives and describes its contents in more detail. Comments and suggestions are invited from readers/users about what if of use to you and what should be stored here. ------------------------------------------------------ Filename: mitpress.mit.edu:/pub/Computer-Music-Journal/README Computer Music Journal Internet Archive README File This document describes the files related to Computer Music Journal that are available from the Internet server mitpress.mit.edu in the directory /pub/Computer-Music-Journal and also in the directory /pub/Publications/cmj on the server ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu at Stanford.

I have to agree about GUIDO. It's good for eartraining, but the copy protection makes the program too buggy to use. (Are you listening TAP?) IBIS software has two pieces of software for eartraining. PLAY IT BY EAR for pitch recognition and RHYTHM ACE for rhythmic dictation. Both programs are easy to install, run with few conflicts and can use a soundcard, MPU-401 or the pc speaker. They may also now be available in a windows version. There is a program called ETDRILL that does a good job of harmonic dictation. This also runs nicely. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jun 1994 10:14:06 -0400 From: William Matthews Subject: ear-training survey could you please post a summary when you complete your NeXT/Mac eartraining survey? thanks.

Anyone interested should subscribe to: music-and-moving-pictures@mailbase.ac.uk The list was set up to open discussions about the techniques, aesthetics and future of music for film, television, video, computer animation, drawn animation, virtual reality simulators, games, and new areas, as yet to be invented. It is not a essentially list about hardware or software developments (the emusic list does that very well). The apparent need for this list arose out of designing and running a PGDip/MA course in Electro-Acoustic Music for Film & Television. Attempts to locate serious information about the aesthetics of film and television music revealed that relatively little has been published in these areas (the Library of Congress lists only 150 books at most, and several of these are reprints). The list, therefore, has as one of its goals the encouragement of serious discussion of the above topics, and the possibility of Networked publication. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jun 1994 05:17:55 -0500 From: "Paul von Hippel by way of xrjdm@farside.gsfc.nasa.gov Joe McMahon" Subject: new subscriber, posting The Stanford Music Department is planning to incorporate ear-training software (for the Macintosh or NeXT) into its music-theory curriculum.

(Please post and/or pass on to interested people. Thanks!) Summer Academy at Ircam 27 June to 2 July 1994 The success of Ircam's first Summer Academy, organized during the summer of 1993, demonstrated the need for a structure capable of welcoming musicians who wish to come into contact with new technologies. A hundred participants from 25 countries were able, over a week, to take advantage of a varied schedule of multidisciplinary encounters. The interest generated encourages us to repeat the experiment this year. The Summer Academy offers an intensive timetable. This year, each day will be made up of composition classes (with the two guest composers, Michael Jarrell and Jean-Claude Risset, in the morning, and with lecturers, in the afternoon), performance classes (on digital keyboards - synthesizers - and the MIDI flute, in the afternoon), research and technology courses later in the afternnon, and beginners classes in computing, for the non-professionals. Concerts and workshops will take place each evening. The Summer Academy is intended for the entire musical community (at beginner and advanced levels): composers, instrumentalists, musicologists, as well as for scientists attracted by the artistic dimension. All classes, presentations and concerts will take place at the premises of Ircam and the Centre Georges-Pompidou, in the center of Paris. Language Classes will be conducted in French. For the group classes, simultaneous translation into English will be provided by interpreters present in the room. Cost: 1500 French Francs This sum includes access to the classes and workshops, as well as to the evening events and concerts of the Summer Academy.

Here's what i got from the article: - 16 channels - 8 XLR balanced inputs with phatom power - one stereo line in - 60mm motorized faders - automation of EQ, efx, pan, gain - 4 effects busses - two built in stereo multieffects - 3 assigable compressor/limiter/gates - S/PDIF output - 20bit AD converters - MIDI controll of all parameters - List $1949, anticipated shipping in August That's about the same price as a Mackei 1604 with OTTO, plus it already has processors and digital sound and more complete automation and motorized faders. The whole thing sounds just great. Now how great is it? My question is, where does the signal go digital? At the input? post-EQ? post-Fader? What about the effects and compressors? Are they completely in the digital domain? Or do they return the signal through an analog signal chain? What about zipper noise (one problem i kept hearing with the Fostex mixers)? Has anyone else heard more about this unit? -- Arne F.

Chris is behind the drums and a tape deck not plugged in, no sound. Everybody's waiting to play. He hits it again. Nothing. I yell at him. He hits it again. Nothing. Then we smash our gear and walk offstage!" ------------------------------ End of the EMUSIC-L Digest ******************************
