OrchideaSOL: a dataset of extended instrumental techniques for computer-aided orchestration
This provides a specialized dataset for researchers and practitioners in computer-aided orchestration, but it is incremental as it modifies an existing dataset.
The paper introduces OrchideaSOL, a free dataset of extended instrumental playing techniques for computer-aided orchestration, derived from the SOL dataset with improvements in dynamic ranges and other aspects.
This paper introduces OrchideaSOL, a free dataset of samples of extended instrumental playing techniques, designed to be used as default dataset for the Orchidea framework for target-based computer-aided orchestration. OrchideaSOL is a reduced and modified subset of Studio On Line, or SOL for short, a dataset developed at Ircam between 1996 and 1998. We motivate the reasons behind OrchideaSOL and describe the differences between the original SOL and our dataset. We will also show the work done in improving the dynamic ranges of orchestral families and other aspects of the data.
