TU-Note Violin Sample Library

Coler, Henrik von; Margraf, Jonas; Schuladen, Paul; Feuerlein, Michiko (Contributor)

The presented sample library of violin sounds is designed as a tool for the research, development and testing of sound analysis / synthesis algorithms. The library features single sounds which cover the entire frequency range of the instrument in four dynamic levels, two-note sequences for the study of note transitions, and solo pieces and scales. All parts come with hand-labeled segmentation ground-truth files which mark attack, release and transition/transient segments. Additional relevant information on the samples’ properties is provided for single sounds and two-note sequences. Recordings took place in an anechoic chamber with a professional violinist and a recording engineer, using two microphone positions.
