I went down a similar rabbit hole at the start of my PhD and I wish I’d written more of it up. One of my theories is that they combined effects quite often. For example, “harder better faster stronger” seems more likely to be a talk box rec

This is cool - there’s some similar work here https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.01571 which uses spiking neural networks (essentially Dirac pulses). I think the next step for this would be to learn a tonal embedding of the so

This is a hypothesis put forward by Gerald Langner in the last chapter of “The Neural Code of Pitch and Harmony” 2015. I personally think he was on to something but sadly he died in 2016 before he could promote the work

I’m the author of the high resolution guitar model posted in a comment above. I have a drum transcription model that I’m getting ready for release soon which should be state of the art for this. I’ll try to update this thread when I’m done

Hydrofoil from Sorrento to Capri in choppy seas, on our honeymoon. Was the stuff of nightmares. My wife said we’d have to live on Capri because she was never setting foot on a boat again

It sounds like you’ve found it already but th original pYin implementation is in the VAMP plugin. Simon Dixon is my PhD supervisor but he’s quite busy. Feel free to email me questions in my the meantime. j.x.riley@ the same university as Si

High latency - agreed but it depends on whether a GPU is available or not. If it is then theoretically CREPE could be real-time. The error rates for pitch recognition are still quite good though for the full CREPE model. I’m interested to s

Simple techniques like autocorrelation can still recover a missing fundamental. To answer the GP post, using neural networks for this task is overkill for simple, clean signals but it can be desirable if you need a) extremely high accuracy

It’s not been mentioned yet, but if you play music then going to jam sessions is a great way to meet people. You’re all on a journey together toward improving as musicians which helps things to gel. As a jazz musician I can find a jam sessi

There’s a model for music transcription (audio to midi) called MT3 which takes an end-to-end transformer approach and claims SOTA on some datasets. However, from my own research and comparing with other models it seems that MT3 is very pron

Someone in my PhD lab looked at this and commented that they weren’t that impressed. The authors didn’t account for the fact that ballads and uptempo numbers have vastly different swing ratios (in both cases practically straight) which skew

I agree that the install is hard on linux but there are prebuilt packages for Windows and MacOS. There's no requirement to use a Raspberry Pi. A long time ago (2017) I did successfully get Sonic Pi running in Docker but it wasn't

For anyone wondering, a lot of work on Sonic Pi recently has gone into integrating an Elixir backend to handle distributed jamming. It has Ableton Link support so it can easily be synced with a DAW and other apps. It can also control extern

There are several methods for pitch tracking of audio inputs that reach up to 99.9% accuracy on certain datasets. CREPE and pYin are just about state of the art. Granted they don’t have a batteries included way of doing real-time voice-to-m

Thank you for posting this. I feel like it gives a better context. My interpretation is that the focus is on monks (as opposed to lay people) in that they might be preaching about their virtues while continuing to have vices and earthly des

Perfect pitch for a jazz improviser is a bit like a super power. Audiation - the audio equivalent of visualisation - is a key part of jazz improv. Having absolute pitch means you don’t have work quite as hard to translate those ideas onto

An aspect of Pat that I don't see discussed much is that he had absolute pitch according to various comments I've seen online. I'd be very curious as to whether that was affected by the surgery. I think it would also have hel

Asked not to is different from forbidden though, no? I’m not a legal expert but I doubt this clause is one they wanted to put in and is probably driven by some legal counsel with an eye on international law.
