We present SuperFlux - a new onset detection algorithm with vibrato suppression. It is an enhanced version of the universal spectral flux onset detection algorithm, and reduces the number of false positive detections considerably by tracking spectral trajectories with a maximum filter. Especially for music with heavy use of vibrato (e.g., sung operas or string performances), the number of false positive detections can be reduced by up to 60% without missing any additional events. Algorithm performance was evaluated and compared to state-of-the-art methods on the basis of three different datasets comprising mixed audio material (25,927 onsets), violin recordings (7,677 onsets) and operatic solo voice recordings (1,448 onsets). Due to its causal nature, the algorithm is applicable in both offline and online real-time scenarios.

In this work, we focus on visual information conveyed by performing musicians. While musicians are playing, their movement relates to their musical performance. As such, analysis of this information can support structural characterization and timeline indexing of a recorded performance, especially in cases when such analyses are not trivially computed from the musical audio. We propose an unsupervised visual analysis method, in which visual novelty is inferred from motion orientation histograms of regions of interest. Considering our method in a case study on audiovisually recorded jam sessions, we show that our analysis of the visual channel yields promising and meaningful performance-related information, including information complementary to the audio channel.

Many recent approaches to musical source separation rely on model-based inference methods that take into account the signal’s harmonic structure. To address the particular case of low-latency bass separation, we propose a method that combines harmonic decomposition using a Tikhonov regularization-based algorithm, with the peak contrast analysis of the pitch likelihood function. Our experiment compares the separation performance of this method to a naive low-pass filter, a state-of-the-art NMF-based method and a near-optimal binary mask. The proposed low-latency method achieves results similar to the NMF-based high-latency approach at a lower computational cost. Therefore the method is valid for real-time implementations.
