This computational music transcription method consists of two main algorithms, which are Onset Detection Algorithm and Pitch Detection Algorithm.

Keywords: Automatic Music Transcription, Onset Detection Algorithm, Pitch Detection Algorithm 1. Introduction is only able to transcribe monophonic music, which is less complex if compared to polyphonic music. Music transcription is a process of writing musical The current work focuses on the monophonic piano notations based solely on a recording of music. To tran- music transcription. Monophonic music is defined as scribe a piece of music manually, the transcriptionist every single pitch in a piece of music is standalone which must have the knowledge in musical notation, and must is not occurring with other pitches simultaneously. In be proficient in analyzing the music sound in order to other words, monophonic music consists of merely single transcribe the melody. However, this process becomes melody line.

The background of this work is to develop a desktop software application which is called Musical Score 2. Literature Review Transcriber (MST).

On the other automatic music transcription. The music transcription hand, pitch detection is the fundamental technique algorithms are developed for this application. However, it to extract musical data from music audio. Most of the *Author for correspondence Monophonic Piano Music Transcription pitch detection algorithms are invented to detect pitch by sorting the onset, pitch and offset. The collector of vocal signal such as Linear Predictive Coding (LPC)2 recognizes when the pitch maintains the same value, and which is used to encode speech and estimate the speech proposes a note onset in the first value of the constant parameters, and F0 estimator by Klapuri3 which is able sequence.

Besides that, onset detection also plays an important role in music transcription. Klapuri4 used psychoacoustic model in the onset detection system to determine the perceptual onsets of sounds in acoustic signals. While, Zhou5 proposed an onset detection system that uses a combination of pitch- based and energy-based detection algorithms based on Equation 2.

If the training data set is sufficiently large, KNN pitch classifier is employed to identify the target pitch class for each note event. On the other hand, if the training database is small, a two-step algorithm is employed. The first step is to identify a list of pitch candidates using semi-KNN algorithm. In the sec- ond step, Viterbi algorithm is applied to a trellis of pitch Figure 1. Graphical representation of sound wave. candidates to find the most likely note sequence or melody line. KNN algorithm is a low complexity method with a very simple training stage. However, it is capable of yield- ing high performance accuracy provided the amount of training samples is large. If the training database is small, then the classification results tend to degrade dramatically due to the noisy training data. The existing music transcription algorithms have their own strengths and weaknesses. Some of the algorithms are able to perform well and give accurate results, however the methods are highly complex and the cost of computation is expensive. Therefore, this paper proposed a simple and fast Figure 2. A sound envelope is made up of four regions: method as an alternative for automatic music transcription. Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release. 3. Proposed Solution A piece of music usually consists of more than one pitch, and each of the pitches is connected to form a melody. Hence, this paper proposes that, each of the pitches of music can be segmented in the initial stage so that every single pitch can be processed separately. After that, the period and fundamental frequency of the single pitch can be determined and thus enable to identify the Figure 3. A sound envelope consists of three points: Onset, corresponding musical notation. Peak and Offset. To perform these processes, the time-domain methods, Onset Detection Algorithm and Pitch Detection Algorithm are introduced in this paper as an alternative highest point of amplitude after being sounded.

  • Being a Potential Waveform As an Experiential Choice
    Alternative view of segmented documents via Kairos 17 September 2013 | Draft Being a Waveform of Potential as an Experiential Choice Emergent dynamic qualities of identity and integrity -- / -- Introduction Exploring physical waves by playing analogy leapfrog Metaphorical waves with psychosocial implications Social implications of waves Eliciting psychosocial creativity through analogy Psychosocial potential of analogy detection Beyond explanations of whatever sophistication Waves and consciousness Being a waveform Attraction to curved forms as a vital clue Identification with waves of embodied movement Social initiatives as unrecognized waveforms Animations variously suggestive of "being a waveform" References The argument here is developed further in a second part (Encountering Otherness as a Waveform: in the light of a wave theory of being, 2013) and in an uncompleted third part (Clues to Comprehension through Wave Language: evoking Homo undulans, 2013) Introduction The variety of disciplines and beliefs suggest a multiplicity of ways through which an individual may choose to be framed and identified - - or have experience of life defined. Many take the form of assertions by authorities which deprecate and scorn ways calling their particular belief into question. This dynamic context does little for those born into it and faced with the confusion of how to live a meaningful life. The challenge can itself be variously discussed, as explored separately (Self-reflexive Challenges of Integrative Futures, 2008; Living as an Imaginal Bridge between Worlds, 2011; Paradoxes of Engaging with the Ultimate in any Guise, 2012). With the explosion of variously available knowledge to which it is only minimally possible to attend, incomprehension and uncertainty become ever more significant experientially (Living with Incomprehension and Uncertainty, 2012; Towards the Dynamic Art of Partial Comprehension, 2012).

The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to its east and Russia to the west across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories, or insular areas, scattered around the Caribbean and Pacific. At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km²) and with about 305 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and third largest by land area and by population. The United States is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries.[7] The U.S. economy is the largest national economy in the world, with an estimated 2008 gross domestic product (GDP) of US$14.3 trillion (23% of the world total based on nominal GDP and almost 21% at purchasing power parity).[4][8] ..
