Meeting at King's College » History » Version 2
Version 1 (Mathieu Barthet, 2011-11-28 10:41 PM) → Version 2/9 (Mathieu Barthet, 2011-11-28 10:42 PM)
h1. Meeting at King's College wrap-up
Mathieu Barthet, Daniel Leech-Wilkinson, Dan Tidhar
h2. New tutorials for Sonic Visualiser
h3. Online video tutorials
- covering basic features:
- how to load a sound
- how to install a Vamp plugin
...
- video tutorials targeting the analysis of various musical variables (timing, pitch, timbre, etc.)
- video tutorials associated with the examples from "A musicologist's guide to Sonic Visualiser" by Nicholas Cook and Daniel Leech-Wilkinson
Tutorials linked to Pitch analysis:
* How to obtain a graphic melodic shape:
- Use the MIDI tool to mark the notes
- Copy the layer in a time layer
This makes easier the analysis of the relationships of the melodic contour with tempo curves.
Example that can be used:
Strong correlation between melody & tempo contours in the performacne of the Chopin berçeuse by Cortot.
Tutorials linked to Dynamics analysis:
* How to change the resolution of the energy curve:
- Use the Power curve Mazurka plugin
- Change the settings to change the smoothing factor
h2. ** Ideas for Sonic Visualiser improvements **
h3. - Layer display display:
It would be useful to be able to change the dynamic range of layer curves (vertical compression) and their relative positions to facilitate their comparisons.
This may be a way to adapt the display to the way we perceive different audio streams.
Example: Cortot - 8th prelude Chopin
h3. - Computation of correlation coefficients
Between between different curves (e.g. Pearson r between the melodic contour curve and the tempo curve).
h2. ** Ideas for new Vamp plugins **
h3. - Vamp plugin to characterise the harmonic complexity of a piece
Key recognition gives a bit of information about harmonic complexity.
Harmonic complexity may be characterised by a post-processing of the chromagram.
- Vamp plugin to measure the dissonance
- Vamp plugin to measure the roughness
** Feedback on Sonic Visualiser Library Edition **
Dan L-W. and Dan T. agreed to give some feedback on the new features from the Library Edition (e.g. templates).
** Issue: order of the layer tabs **
Each time a session file is opened, the tabs of the layers appear in different orders, making it impossible to refer to a specific tab number in tutorials or lectures.
