Salamon, R. M. Bittner, J. Bonada, J. J. Bosch, E. Gómez, and J. P. Bello. "An analysis/synthesis framework for <br> automatic f0 annotation of multitrack datasets". In 18th Int. Soc. for Music Info. Retrieval Conf., Suzhou, China, <br> Oct. 2017. This dataset includes:<br> * 85 stereo wav files of song mixes where:<br> * polyphonic pitched instruments (such as piano and guitar) have been removed<br> * all monophonic pitched instruments (such as bass and voice) have been resynthesized using the analysis/synthesis <br> method described in the paper<br> * 85 csv files containing a perfect multiple-f0 annotation of all the (monophonic) pitched instruments in the mix, <br> obtained via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper The data come in two folders, the contents of which is described below. <br> audio_mix<br> ---------<br> Contains 85 stereo wav files of song mixes in which polyphonic pitched instruments (such as piano and guitar) have been <br> removed and all monophonic pitched instruments (such as bass and voice) have been resynthesized using the <br> analysis/synthesis method described in the paper. Non-pitched tracks (percussion) are kept unchanged (i.e. the <br> original stems are used). All the stems (tracks) are automatically mixed together as described in the paper. Naming convention: <br> &lt;artist&gt;_&lt;songtitle&gt;_MIX_mf0synth.wav Example: <br> AClassicEducation_NightOwl_MIX_mf0synth.wav <br> annotation_mf0<br> --------------<br> Contains 85 csv files containing a perfect multiple-f0 annotation of all pitched stems (tracks) in the mix, obtained <br> via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper. Format:<br> The annotations follow the MIREX multiple-f0 estimation (frame-basis) format:<br> https://www.music-ir.org/mirex/wiki/2018:Multiple_Fundamental_Frequency_Estimation_%26_Tracking#I.2FO_format<br> This format is also support by mir_eval: https://github.com/craffel/mir_eval Each row in the annotation starts with a timestamp, followed by 0 or more tab separated frequency values in Hz <br> representing the f0 of each active pitched instrument present in the time frame represented by the row. The first <br> frame in the annotation is zero-centered. The hop size of the annotation is exactly 10 ms. IMPORTANT: no assumptions can be made as to the ordering of the f0 values in each row. The frequency values are NOT <br> ordered neither by instrument nor by frequency, and should thus be treated as a "bag of frequencies" (a set) without <br> any assumptions as to which frequency belongs to which instrument.
