DESAM Toolbox

 

The DESAM Toolbox, which draws its name from the collaborative project Décomposition en Eléments Sonores et Applications Musicales funded by the French ANR, is a set of Matlab functions dedicated to the estimation of widely used spectral models from, potentially musical, audio signals. Although those models can be used in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tasks, the core functions of the toolbox do not focus on any application. It is rather aimed at providing a range of state-of-the-art signal processing tools that decompose music files according to different signal models, giving rise to different “mid-level” representations.

 

 

 

MAPS Database

 

MAPS – standing for MIDI Aligned Piano Sounds – is a database of MIDI-annotated piano recordings. MAPS has been designed in order to be released in the music information retrieval research community, especially for the development and the evaluation of algorithms for single-pitch or multipitch estimation and automatic transcription of music. It is composed by isolated notes, random-pitch chords, usual musical chords and pieces of music. The database provides a large amount of sounds obtained in various recording conditions.
