Many people enjoy music daily, but in a very passive way. To more actively enjoy music, some novel musical instruments are necessary. As a candidate for a novel musical instrument, we propose a networked wearable musical instrument. This paper describes the design of the networked musical instrument as well as a prototype system. Furthermore, we demonstrate several possible novel applications o...

A study on the automatic classification of musical instrument sounds is presented. A database of musical instrument sounds parameters was built for this purpose, which consists of musical instrument recordings and their parametric representation. The parameterization process was conceived and performed in order to find significant musical instrument sound features and to remove redundancy from ...

In this paper, we discuss a design principle for the musical instruments that are useful for both novices and professional musicians and that facilitate musically rich expression. We believe that the versatility of conventional musical instruments causes difficulty in performance. By dynamically specializing a musical instrument for performing a specific (genre of) piece, the musical instrument...

In recent year, studies on music content analysis especially on musical instrument recognition system are developed extensively. However, almost all the studies are developed based on the Western musical instruments. Meanwhile, study on non-Western musical instrument especially on traditional Malay musical instrument is still lacking. With the enormous amount of instruments data and features sc...

This paper describes category level recognition of unknown musical instruments i e musical instruments which are not contained in training data based on an acoustic feature based musical instrument hierarchy The problem of how the unknown musical instruments should be dealt with is essential in musical instrument recognition However this problem has not been dealt with in previous studies In th...

Abstract— The classification of musical instrument, where the idea is to build a system that will listen to musical note and recognize which instrument is being played. In recognition of musical instrument the different musical instrument played based on isolated monophonic notes. Different feature component will be extracted and will be given to the classification system. Especially we will us...
