Accomplishments this week 1. Advanced MIDI pattern matching. This week I made several test cases to test the bag-of-words approach by randomly delete some notes from the original slices. The testing procedure is (1) slice the original midi file, called ori_midi, into slices of different lengths, called ori_slice (2) randomly Read more…
Significant risks for the project we managed this week: Using natural language processing for finding the title of music score input and matching it with database might have two risks in the future For music scores that are not in the database, it will be harder to match because for Read more…
Accomplishments this week 1. Receive MIDI signals from the digital keyboard on Mac with Python 3.5. The final implementation used Pygame’s built-in MIDI module with python 3.5. Important documentation for Pygame’s MIDI module can be found here https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/display.html. It’s not trivial to correctly install the Python 3 version Pygame on Mac. Read more…
Significant risks for the project we managed this week: The Adafruit stepper motor driver is ordered but the part shipment will take three weeks. Even though we ordered one extra, but if all drivers are down, it will take another three weeks to get the hardware up again. We didn’t Read more…
Accomplishments this week: Studied midi protocol; useful midi protocol info can be found here https://www.midi.org/specifications-old/item/table-1-summary-of-midi-message. Studied python libraries for handling midi files; decided to work with Mido. Documentation can be found here https://mido.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html. Researched midi matching algorithms; useful paper describing a status-to-art approach can be found here https://www.ml.cmu.edu/research/dap-papers/dap_xia.pdf. Programmed basic midi matching Read more…
