1 19 th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON ACOUSTICS MADRID, 2-7 SEPTEMBER 2007 AN HMM BASED INVESTIGATION OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS OF THE SAME TYPE PACS: z Eichner, Matthias; Wolff, Matthias; Hoffmann, Rüdiger Technische Universität Dresden, Laboratory of Acoustics and Speech Communication, Dresden, Germany; ABSTRACT In this paper we present our research on music instrument classification. In contrast to other contributions in this field we try to identify a certain instrument within a set of instruments of the same type. There exist a number of conceivable applications that could make use of this information. Our goal is to provide a tool to instrument makers that allows to measure the influence of changes in the production process on the sound characteristics of an instrument. For this purpose we trained an HMM based recognizer using solo music pieces played on different instruments of the same type under varying conditions. We performed extensive subjective evaluations to study to what extend differences between instruments are perceivable and compared this with the results of the classification experiments. INTRODUCTION Identification of musical instruments in solo and polyphonic music has been a field of research in the past years. Robust musical instrument recognition offers a variety of applications in the field of music content analysis including automatic annotation of musical signals and retrieval of music from a database for given symbolic description. However, distinction of instruments of the same type, like the identification of a certain violin within a number of violins, has been addressed by a few authors only [1][2][3]. Information about the identity of an instrument could be used in a number of applications like analysis of historical recordings or in investigations of insurance companies. Our motivation for the presented research is to provide a tool for instrument makers that tells whether the sound characteristics of an instrument is influenced by modifications in the production process or not. In other words, how do design features influence the sound characteristic of an instrument? Providing such a tool leads to a number of further questions: (a) Are changes in the sound characteristic perceivable by listeners? (b) Are the judgments consistent within a group of listeners? (c) Do the results of the measurements match the judgments of the listeners? (d) Is there a way to determine the characteristic of an unknown instrument by comparison to reference instruments having known characteristics? We try to find answers to these questions and recorded a database consisting of solo music pieces of four different instrument types. This database serves as basis for the subjective evaluations as well as the automatic classification experiments and will be described in section 2. The experimental setup of the subjective evaluations and knowledge gained from those experiments will be presented in section 3. In section 4 we will give an overview of the classifier used to perform the automatic measurements and will discuss the experimental results. DATABASE The database consists of solo music pieces played by four different instrument types: classical guitar, violin, trumpet and clarinet. Although publicly available databases for music and instrument classification exist [4], we decided to design and record a new database to be able to: use instruments that cover a wide spectrum in construction type and sound characteristic, have the same piece of music played by different instruments of the same type,

2 investigate the influence of the room on the perception of instrument quality, have all instruments available for recordings and investigations in the future, investigate the influence of different musicians playing the same instrument and use special recording equipment (binaural recording head). For every instrument type we did 600 recordings varying the following conditions: (a) 10 instruments, (b) 2 rooms (anechoic room and reverberant conference room), (c) 3 solo pieces, (d) 5 players and (e) 2 repetitive playings. Solo pieces of approximately 30 seconds were selected that cover a wide range. We used a binaural recording head (MANIKIN II - Cortex Instruments) and a Digital Audio Tape to record the audio signal (48 khz, 16 Bit. The artificial head was placed 2 m in front of the musician. We labelled the recorded signal by a semi-automatic process on note level for supervised training of the classifier. This was done by assigning a unique symbol to each note or group of simultaneously played notes for one recording of each music piece by hand. In a second step these labels where mapped to all recordings of the same piece using dynamic time warping. Finally, all labels where manually checked and corrected if necessary. We believe this database could be valuable for other scientists in this field and plan to make it publicly available for research. SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION Listening experiments were carried out for the recordings of guitars [5][6] and violins [7] so far. The participants were asked to judge the overall quality of the instruments on a MOS scale by listening to the recorded solo pieces. Due to the big number of samples (combinations of instruments, players, pieces and record rooms) two restricted types of listening tests were performed with 32 participants, half of them being players of the considered instrument. The first listening test compares only two instruments under variation of all other recording parameters (2 players, 2 pieces, 2 rooms, 2 repetitions). The second listening test compares all instruments while keeping the other recording parameters fixed. Solo piece MOS Guitar Figure 1.-Interaction diagram that shows the rating of two guitars depending on the played solo piece. A multifactorial variance analysis with repetition of the MO scores revealed the following for the first listening test. The two examined instruments are significantly distinguishable though there are a couple of strong interactions between the other parameters and the instrument. E.g. the combination of instrument and piece significantly changes the MOS, s. Figure 1. This is, however, not surprising as it is conceivable that an instrument is especially suited for a certain kind of music, concert room or even for a certain type of player or listening group. This suggests that there is a complicated dependence of the subjective evaluation on several conditions. 2

3 Consequently it is advisable to keep the recording parameters fixed when trying to distinguish many instruments. The statistical analysis of the second listening test showed that only one out of ten instruments is judged significantly different from most of the others [5]. This holds at least for one choice of recording parameters. However in view of the first listening test it could change for another set of recording parameters. So we conclude instruments are consistently differently judged if either their number is very restricted or the recording conditions are fixed. However due to the fact that all instruments are sort of projected onto a one-dimensional scale, namely the MOS, quite some of them appear to be similar. In other words only extreme instruments are judged significantly different. AUTOMATIC EVALUATION Training Different approaches have been investigated for automatic instrument classification that differ in the features used to describe the important properties of the signal and the classification strategy [8]. A great effort has been made to find suitable feature analysis methods and feature transformations [9][10]. As in speech recognition, mel-scaled features like MFCCs combined with a de-correlation transformation (e.g. PCA) are reported to give good results. Most classification strategies applied so far rely on the typical distribution of static features to distinguish instruments [11][12]. The use of HMM allows modelling of temporal structures that are typical for an instrument [13]. We use our standard HMM based speech recognizer that we already successfully applied to other non-speech classification tasks [14]. Therefore we trained acoustic models for (1) single notes and (2) individual instruments by EM estimation (Viterbi training). First we pass the recordings through a 31 channel mel-scaled filter bank (which slightly outperforms MFCCs in our speech recognizer) and optionally compute the first and second order differences which results in a 63-dimensional primary feature vector. Then we apply a statistical principal component analysis and reduce the feature space to 25 dimensions. Table 1 lists the detailed settings. Table 1.- Experimental setup for automatic classification of guitars and violins. Parameter Guitar Violin Sample rate 16 khz Frame length 25 ms Frame skip 10 ms Primary feat. F0, Energy, 30 channel mel-scaled filter bank Dynamic feat. + - PCA 25 secondary feat. - HMM set 41 notes + silence 36 notes + silence HMM topology 3 states 1 state Gaussian type full covariances CLASSIFICATION We tested two different sets of HMMs. For a first experiment we trained HMMs for all notes occurring in the recordings independently of the instrument and all other conditions described in section 2. The recognition task was to find the most likely sequences of notes for unseen recordings using the Viterbi algorithm. This experiment was intended to check whether the chosen features and HMM setup were suitable for instrument classification. The correctness of the result was assessed by the standard DTW string alignment to the reference label sequence. In a second experiment we trained one HMM set for each instrument independently of all other conditions. Here the recognition task was to identify one out of the ten instruments of one type by an unseen recording. This was done computing the most likely state sequence of the 3

4 recording in all instrument HMM sets and selecting the one with the highest likelihood score. Figure 2 shows the score matrix for violins. This matrix will be evaluated in the next section to unveil similarities between instruments. Table 2.- Experiment 1 - HMM-based note recognition. # GM denotes the number of Gaussian PDFs. # GMs Correctness Accuracy Guitar % 90 % Violin % 93 % Table 3.- Experiment 2 - HMM-based instrument recognition. # GM denotes the number of Gaussian PDFs. # GMs Correctness Guitar % Violin % DISCUSSION The results of experiment 1 listed in Table 1 suggest that the chosen features and HMM setup are suitable for classification of music signals. The recognition of notes played by a violin is more accurate then the recognition using guitar recordings. We found that violins produce a very stable sound within a played note that can be classified easier and has almost no temporal structure. This sound can be sufficiently modelled by one Gaussian assigned to a single HMM state. The fading sound of guitars requires more HMM states and dynamic features to capture the temporal structure of the sound. These findings suggest adapting the classifier setup to the target instrument when building a system for solo music or instrument recognition. The distinction of instruments in experiment 2 based on the scores of 10 independently trained HMM classifiers (experiment 2) works well for both, guitars and violins. Table 3 shows that guitars are easier to identify than violins, although the guitar HMMs comprise less Gaussians than in experiment 1. This result coincides with the subjective impression that the set of guitars in the database cover a broader range of sound characteristics than the set of violins.

Dark squares represent high scores. Now we try to find groups of similar instruments based on evaluation of the score matrix yielded in experiment 2 (Figure 2). There is one instrument (violin V3) that is apparently different from all other instruments. Additionally, the cross evaluation scores of the instruments V9 and V10 indicate that these violins might be similar. Unfortunately, we can not verify these findings with results from the subjective evaluations because our listeners were not able to keep the 10 violins apart in the listening experiment (see section 3). At least we know from the instrument description provided by the manufacturer that V9 and V10 are almost identical. 4

5 CONCLUSIONS A convincing subjective evaluation of the quality of instruments is very difficult. There exist distinct interactions between influencing factors. These interactions require a restricted setup of the listening experiments with fixed parameters that takes only different instruments as varying factor into account. The results of these experiments are valid for the chosen set of factors only and cannot be generalized. On the other hand, reliable subjective judgements are essential to answer the questions asked in section 1. The automatic evaluation showed that the distinction of instruments is possible. An open question is still whether score distances are a suitable measure to describe similarities of instruments. Again, extensive subjective evaluations are necessary to answer this question. In the future we will focus on the design and realization of listening experiments. The findings of these evaluations will help to answer the questions posed in section 1. References: [1] E.
