Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the cross technical field of music acoustics, psychoacoustics, signal processing, computer mode identification and the like, in particular to a piano playing tone quality evaluation system and method combining music.
Background
With the continuous development of economy and society, the living standard of people is rapidly improved, the spiritual culture is concerned and paid more and more attention, and the demand is increasingly increased. Among them, the music art is the most contacted aspect in people's daily life, and the piano as the "king of musical instrument" occupies a large part of the proportion of playing the music art. Because the piano has a complex structure and a wide range of sound, the difficulty of researching and evaluating the tone quality and tone color is high. At present, the quality of the sound quality of the piano basically depends on subjective judgment, namely, experts with certain piano music theory knowledge and playing experience listen and score according to some indexes. The evaluation method can cause the problems of fluctuation of evaluation accuracy and the like due to auditory fatigue of testers, personal preference and different on-site listening environments. Furthermore, in many real-time situations, the labor and time costs of listening tests are also relatively expensive.
With the development of computer science and the research on the combination of signal processing technology and music acoustics, people begin to analyze the characteristics of various aspects of musical instruments from a rational and scientific point of view. The music signal characteristics of musical instrument playing sound signals can be accurately extracted by applying digital signal processing technologies such as wavelet analysis and the like or machine learning knowledge such as neural networks, and most of the previous researches are applied to aspects such as musical instrument identification, playing correct and incorrect evaluation and the like by using the characteristics or simply evaluating the sound quality by directly analyzing the characteristics, so that the sound quality evaluation cannot be automatically and intelligently carried out. If the subjective priori knowledge and the objective signal characteristic analysis can be combined to find the mapping relation between the subjective priori knowledge and the objective signal characteristic analysis, then an intelligent evaluation system is designed by utilizing the technologies of neural network, fuzzy reasoning and the like which are closer to the human cognition and judgment mechanism, finally, only a section of piano playing sound signal is input to a computer, the labor cost can be saved, and the piano playing sound quality does not need to be evaluated manually.
In the aspect of music signal feature extraction and analysis, more and more attention and research are paid to the relationship between the subjective priori knowledge of piano music and the objective digital signal features. In the previous researches, most of the researches are based on the music recognition of contents, and most of the researches are to collect signals of piano playing sounds by using a single microphone, and in the researches combined with a microphone array, most of the researches are to collect signals of a spatial field, apply the signals to sound field simulation and sound field reproduction of the spatial field, rarely use the microphone array to receive signals of the piano playing sounds at different positions, namely measurement and collection of spatial signals, wherein the spatial signals are related to overall auditory perception information, and meanwhile, in the researches on the influence of sound board characteristics on the sound quality of the piano, the spatial characteristics of the spatial signals are closely related to the sound board characteristics. Therefore, considering the collection of spatial domain signals of a plurality of positions and the comprehensive analysis, the tone quality of one piano can be more comprehensively evaluated.
On the other hand, in the case of the piano tone quality study, only a single note, a double note, or a simple performance sample without a melody label is often used in the previous study in analyzing music data, and the subjective preference of the player, that is, a factor of the melody is not considered. In the social environment, the individual requirements are more emphasized by piano manufacturers and sellers, and each piano fan has own preference, so that the piano most suitable for own habits and preferences is expected to be found. And whether the beginners or the experienced experts, when players play piano music of different styles on the same piano, the tone quality of the piano is different. Therefore, the quality of a piano is evaluated, and a factor of personalized characteristics such as a music style should be considered.

The music signal characteristic analysis module mainly realizes the function of establishing a fuzzy inference rule, and comprises the steps of carrying out statistic comparison analysis on the extracted signal characteristics and subjective evaluation data, thereby establishing a fuzzy set of the signal characteristics and the subjective evaluation data, and simultaneously establishing the fuzzy inference rule of an evaluation process; the fuzzy set and the fuzzy rule refer to conditions required for judging the sound quality and the description of a judgment logic in fuzzy mathematics; as can be described as follows: if the fundamental frequency harmonic proportion is in the range of x1 and the spatial balance is in the range of y1, the sound quality evaluation score is in the range of z 1. x1, y1, z1 all belong to respective fuzzy sets X, Y, Z.
Before the system is used, the system needs to be subjected to the process of system establishment, namely, playing sound signals of different music styles on different pianos are collected, expert subjective evaluation data are collected, signal characteristics are extracted and analyzed, and the structure of a fuzzy neural network is determined and trained; the trained fuzzy neural network can be used. A flow chart of the system set-up procedure is shown in figure 3.
The system establishment process is as follows:
(1) establishing a piano music library: as described above, a total of 12 piano songs of four genres are included in the library.
(2) The recording device is turned on, and the player plays the music in the music library: the performance sound signals played on a plurality of pianos are recorded on site using a microphone array recording apparatus and a high-quality microphone recording apparatus, and the played tunes include all the tunes in a piano tune library.
(3) Forming an audio file: the performance sound signals collected by the microphone array recording device are processed to form a multi-channel audio file, and the performance sound signals collected by the high-quality microphone recording device are correspondingly processed to form a high-fidelity audio file. In order to correspond to each exercise music of each style in the piano music library of this example, thus letting 3 players play on 4 distinctly different pianos, 48 hi-fi audio files and 48 16-channel audio files are obtained in total.
(4) Audio file playback, expert listening evaluation, music database establishment: the high-fidelity audio file is played back in a listening room, a plurality of professionals are allowed to carry out listening experiments, the quality of the sound quality of the professional is evaluated, subjective evaluation data are collected, and the subjective evaluation data, the audio file and the music note tag which are obtained through statistics are correspondingly stored in a music database.
(5) Preprocessing an audio file: and based on the short-time stationarity of the audio signal, carrying out pre-emphasis processing and framing processing on the multi-channel audio file and the high-fidelity audio file.
(6) Extracting signal features to form training samples: inputting all audio files in the music database into a signal feature extraction module to extract signal features, establishing a sample library, forming signal feature vectors by the extracted signal features and corresponding music labels, and correspondingly storing the signal feature vectors into the sample library to be used as training samples.
(7) Analyzing the signal characteristics and subjective evaluation data, and establishing a fuzzy set and a fuzzy inference rule: counting the extracted signal characteristics, and carrying out comparative analysis on the extracted signal characteristics and the subjective evaluation data obtained in the step (4), so as to establish a fuzzy set of the signal characteristics and the subjective evaluation data and establish a fuzzy inference rule of an evaluation process; the fuzzy set and fuzzy inference rules refer to conditions required for judging the sound quality and the description of judgment logic in fuzzy mathematics; as can be described as follows: if the fundamental frequency harmonic proportion is in the range of x1 and the spatial balance is in the range of y1, the sound quality evaluation score is in the range of z 1; x1, y1, z1 all belong to respective fuzzy sets X, Y, Z.
(8) Determining the structure of the fuzzy neural network, training the fuzzy neural network: and (4) determining the structure of the fuzzy neural network according to the size of the signal feature vector obtained in the step (6) and the fuzzy inference rule obtained by analysis in the step (7), taking all samples of the sample library as training samples of the fuzzy neural network, taking subjective evaluation data of the audio file corresponding to each sample as expected output, namely a supervision signal, and then training the fuzzy neural network.
And after the verification and verification evaluation result is verified to be optimal, the tone quality evaluation module is established. After the system is successfully established, a user can use the system, and the function of intelligently outputting evaluation scores after obtaining samples to be evaluated can be realized without manually obtaining subjective evaluation data; a flow chart of the user using the system is shown in fig. 4.
The flow of the system using process of the user is as follows:
(1) user selection of preferred music: the user selects a preferred tune in the piano tune library, for example, a romantic style tune, the tune label number is set to 3, and the selected tune is correctly played on the piano desired to obtain the sound quality evaluation.
(2) The recording device is turned on, and the user plays the tune of the selected tune on the piano to be evaluated: the microphone array recording device and the high-quality microphone recording device simultaneously acquire performance sound signals of a user.
(3) Forming an audio file, and storing the audio file in a music database by combining with a music label: and after the performance is finished, processing the collected performance sound signals to form audio files, and storing the audio files and the music labels into a music database.
(4) Preprocessing an audio file: and performing pre-emphasis processing and framing processing on the audio file based on the short-time stationarity of the audio signal.
(5) Extracting signal characteristics to form a sample to be evaluated: and inputting the preprocessed audio file into a signal feature extraction module, forming a signal feature vector by the extracted signal feature and the song label, and storing the signal feature vector into a sample library to be used as a sample to be evaluated.
(6) And (3) performing sound quality evaluation, and outputting a sound quality evaluation score: inputting the sample to be evaluated into the established sound quality evaluation module, and finally outputting an evaluation score, such as 65 scores, within the range of [0,100], by the sound quality evaluation module, wherein the evaluation score is the performance sound quality evaluation result of the played piano under the selected curved wind.
Therefore, the user can compare the evaluation scores of multiple intended pianos on the favorite music so as to assist in selecting the piano really suitable for the user and enable the playing to achieve the best effect; according to the preference of users, piano manufacturers can use the system to assist in debugging various parameters of the piano when producing personalized custom pianos, so that a large part of manual evaluation cost and time cost are reduced.
The above embodiments are intended to be preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications which do not depart from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be construed as equivalents thereof, and all such changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention.
