What Are Note Onsets? • Energy profile of a percussive instrument is modeled as ADSR stages • Note onset is the time where the slope is the highest, during the attack time. • Soft onsets via violin, etc, are much harder to define and detect.
Difficulty in Onset Detection • Music types • Monophonic Easier • Polyphonic Harder • Instrument types • Percussive instruments Easier • String instruments Harder (soft onsets)
Why Onset Detection is Useful? • It is a basic step in music analysis • Music transcription (from wave to midi) • Music editing (Song segmentation) • Tempo estimation • Beat tracking • Musical fingerprinting (the onset trace can serve as a robust id for fingerprinting)
Onset Detection Function • ODF (onset detection function) creates a curve of onset strength, aka • Onset strength curve • Novelty curve • Most ODFs are based on time-frequency representation (spectrogram) of • Magnitude of STFT (Short-time Fourier transform) • Phase of STFT • Mel-band of STFT • Constant-Q transform
ODF: Spectral Flux • Concept • sum the positive change in each frequency bin
Flowchart of OSC • Steps of OSC • Spectrogram • Mel-band spectrogram • Spectral flux • Smoothed OSC via Gaussian smoothing • Trend of OSC via Gaussian smoothing • Trend-subtracted OSC • Check out wave2osc.m to see these steps.
Example of OSC • Try “wave2osc.m”
What Can You Do With OSC... • OSC onsets • Pick peaks to have onsets • OSC tempo (BPM, beats per minute) • Apply ACF (or other PDF) to find the BPM • OSC beat tracking • Pick equal-spaced peaks to have beat positions
Beat Tracking • Demos • http://mirlab.org/demo/beatTracking • Try “beatTracking.m” in SAP toolbox
Example of Beat Tracking • beatTracking.m
Performance Indices ofBeat Tracking • Many performance indices of BT • Check out audio beat tracking task of MIREX • Mostly adopted ones • Precision, recall, f-measure, accuracy • Try simSequence.m in SAP toolbox Precision = tp/(tp+fp)=3/(3+3) = 0.5 Recall = tp/(tp+fn)=3/(3+2) = 0.6 F-measure = tp/(tp+(fn+fp)/2)=3/(3+(2+3)/2) = 0.545 Accuracy = tp/(tp+fn+fp)=3/(3+2+3) = 0.375
