| Abstract | Note onset detection and instrument recognition are two of the most investigated tasks in Music Information Retrieval (MIR). Various detection methods have been proposed in previous research for western music, with less focus on other music cultures of the world. In this paper, we focus on onset detection for percussion instruments in Beijing Opera, a major genre of Chinese traditional music. A dataset of individual audio samples of four primary percussion instruments is used to obtain the spectral bases for each instrument. With these bases, we separate the input percussion ensemble recordings into its spectral sources and their activations using a Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) based algorithm. A simple onset detection conducted on each NMF activation presents us satisfactory overall detection rates, and provides us valuable implications and suggestions for future development of drum transcription and percussion pattern analysis in Beijing Opera. |
