Present:
Welcome new member(s), Christine Smit from LabROSA
- Jeff has a friend, Matt Luker, from CS, who is interested too
Brief history of MEAP
Dan demonstrated his Chroma resynthesis for cover song matching]
- How about generating sheet music versions and getting a choir to sing it?
- It needs Shepard tones
Tweaks for MEAPsoft
- feedback from early users
- MEAPsynth? JMSL output?
- better visualization / auralization - listen to specific segments interactively
- comparing extracted vs. composed features - where did shuffles
- jython tool command language? intermediate stage between rigid UI and writing Java
- dynamic visualization of effects of varying parameters to composer e.g. threshold composer
- visualization of lots of features at once, click-to-play, drag-and-drop?
- better segments: smaller subdivisions, options to beat track at different BPMs, more control
- pitch-based segmentation? Would require feature extraction prior to segmentation
- allow people to edit e.g. segment files in e.g. audacity
- meap writes out actual segments as separate files, with appropriate sorting/subselecting
