Meeting at King's College » History » Version 5
Version 4 (Mathieu Barthet, 2011-11-28 10:45 PM) → Version 5/9 (Mathieu Barthet, 2011-11-28 10:46 PM)
h1. Wrap-up of the meeting at King's College
Participants: Mathieu Barthet, Daniel Leech-Wilkinson, and 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
h3. 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.
h3. 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
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 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.
h3. Vamp plugin to measure the dissonance
h3. Vamp plugin to measure the roughness
h2. Feedback on Sonic Visualiser Library Edition
Dan L-W. and Dan T. will give some feedback on the new features from the Library Edition (e.g. templates).
h2. Issue: order of appearance 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.
