A collection of common musical terms used throughout the Instrument Recognition project's final report.
Upon discussion of the implementation and general work done during the course of this project, a number of specific musical terms will be used. For those with a bit of musical background, these should be very straightforward. However, considering the steriotypical divide between the arts and the sciences, the following is a psuedo-comprehensive list of common terms that will be referenced within this report.
- Articulation: Characteristics of the attack, duration, and decay (or envelope) of a given note.
- Intonation: Correctness of a produced pitch as compared to the accepted musical norm.
- Tone: Quality or character of a sound.
- Timbre: Combination of qualities of a sound that distinguishes it from other sounds of the same pitch and volume.
