Instrument Transcription Data Synthesis Using Hypersampled Instruments
FY 2018-19 · 2018-10-01
Summary
Instrument transcription is the process of automatically transforming audio recordings of instruments to MIDI (file containing notes performed) and sheet music. Gathering training data for instrument transcription machine learning algorithms is an expensive and time-consuming process and there are no publicly available datasets to use. This project will focus on a software framework for automating dataset generation by synthesizing digital sheet music for training purposes. These synthesized datasets will then be used to train a guitar and piano machine learning transcriber, which will be evaluated on real instrument audio recorded in studio.
