Subject: [AUDITORY] free large-scale dataset of annotated musical notes from Google From: Charalampos Saitis <charalampos.saitis@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 16:43:42 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--f4030436634ed52baf055046230e Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear list, You may know of this already, but Google has released a freely available large-scale dataset of annotated musical notes. https://magenta.tensorflow.org/datasets/nsynth#files NSynth is an audio dataset containing 305,979 musical notes, each with a > unique pitch, timbre, and envelope. For 1,006 instruments from commercial > sample libraries, we generated four second, monophonic 16kHz audio > snippets, referred to as notes, by ranging over every pitch of a standard > MIDI pian o (21-108) as well as five different velocities (25, 50, 75, 10= 0, > 127). The note was held for the first three seconds and allowed to decay > for the final second. > > Some instruments are not capable of producing all 88 pitches in this > range, resulting in an average of 65.4 pitches per instrument. Furthermor= e, > the commercial sample packs occasionally contain duplicate sounds across > multiple velocities, leaving an average of 4.75 unique velocities per pit= ch > . The dataset includes "unusual" instrument sounds synthesized (or morphed) using Google's neural networks. A paper describing the dataset and morphing algorithm can be found on arXiv= : https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.01279 Enjoy!
