Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a method which uses a note model and signal post processing for a musical instrument to make a piece of music. one of the important issues in note transcription is extraction of multiple pitches. Most of the examined methods face error in joint harmonics and frequencies. A good model for note of a specified musical instrument can help us identify a note better. The presented method is based on wavelet transform, onset detection, note model and conformity reduction error algorithm or regression and post-processing for improved result. The results obtained show that detecting musical notes in a piece played on the guitar is, in comparison with similar methods, of higher detection accuracy and even in the case of noisy sound signals, the results are more acceptable.
