VAE-Generated Monophonic Electric Guitar Notes

<p>This dataset contains audio files of monophonic electric guitar notes generated by a Timbre Generation Variational Autoencoder (VAE).</p> <p>The Timbre Generation VAE was prompted to generate E4 electric guitar notes with varying timbral characteristics via each of the 20 timbre descriptors present within the <a href="../doi/10.5281/zenodo.11398029" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SemanticTimbreDataset</a>, leading to the sounds in the `generated' folders contained within the VAE-GeneratedTestSet folder. The original sounds are provided in the `original' folders for comparison to the VAE-generated sounds.</p> <p>Furthermore, 10 5-point linear interpolations were performed between points in the Timbre Generation VAE's latent space, leading to the sounds in the `generated' folders contained within the VAE-InterpolatedTestSet folder. The interpolations' original start and target sounds are provided in the `original' folders for comparison to the VAE-generated sounds. These 10 interpolations were:</p> <ul> <li>Clean E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Fuzzy E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Resonant E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Thin E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Punchy E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Soft E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Shimmery E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Jittery E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Fuzzy E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Thin E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Fuzzy E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Soft E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Fuzzy E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Shimmery E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Thin E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Soft E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Thin E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Shimmery E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> <li>Soft E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100) to Shimmery E4 Note (Timbre Magnitude 100)</li> </ul>
