EGFxSet: ELECTRIC GUITAR TONES PROCESSED THROUGH REAL EFFECTS OF DISTORTION, MODULATION, DELAY AND REVERB

Hegel Pedroza and Gerardo Meza (UNAM) join us to discuss their recently published dataset and work-in-progress research with it.

EGFxSet contains recordings of all clean tones in a Stratocaster guitar, with augmentations by processing through twelve electric guitar effects. Similar datasets apply effects using software, EGFxSet in contrast uses real guitar effects hardware, making it relevant to develop MIR tools with applications on real music. Annotations include all guitar and effect parameters controlled during our dataset recording. EGFxSet contains 8970 unique, annotated guitar tones, and is published with full open-access rights.

NOTE: this event is part of the DL4MIR workshop series (ccrma-mir.github.io); guest speaker talks are open to the broader CCRMA community.
