20.500.12556/RUL-154308 Quantifying sound colour of musical instruments – precise harmonic timbre coordinates of like instruments Timbre – sound “colour” – is an abstract, delicate property of sound, especially in a high-value context such as musical instruments. It is a perceptual construct so intangible that it cannot be considered a quantity. Since sound nevertheless reaches our ears as a complete physical reality, we hypothesize that this inherent abstraction of its timbre is primarily due to the lack of a meaningful, musically relevant, and robust quantification that would do justice to the subtlety of human auditory perception. It is therefore not surprising that not a single aspect of timbre is to be found in the specifications of musical instruments. We introduce harmonic timbre coordinates, concrete and robust numbers that quantify a partial aspect of timbre of an instrument’s sound – its harmonic structure – with a precision that allows relevance in the musical context. These numbers could, for example, help a buyer find an instrument whose sound is closer to his or her preferences. Or they could enable precise tracking of harmonic changes in sound, and more. acoustics musical instruments timbre akustika glasbeni inštrumenti barva zvoka true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-02-06 14:20:52 2024-02-06 14:20:55 2025-08-08 13:31:16 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 13 str. art. no. 8 Vol. 8 Feb. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-02-05 534 2681-4617 10.1051/aacus/2023071 183975683 aacus230063.pdf aacus230063.pdf 1 B2485E9831A262891E4D3C564E59133B 86bea0bdaa4c19bd0cd351e3222fd889285d49437eff0ff714508c20ae0fd958 c77ce5d7-c4f2-11ee-a2a3-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=180645 https://acta-acustica.edpsciences.org/articles/aacus/full_html/2024/01/aacus230063/aacus230063.html 0 df3cf1c9-c4f2-11ee-a2a3-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=180646 Fakulteta za matematiko in fiziko 0 0 0
