Practical Design of Filter Banks for Automatic Music Transcription

Abstract

This paper aims at exploring practical issues concerning the design of a bounded-Q fast filter bank (BQFFB) for automatic music transcription (AMT). Great effort is spent on avoiding hazardous effects in the spectral analysis stage of the AMT application. The result is a complete procedure for effectively designing the BQFFB tool. The analysis tool is then validated through computer experiments.
