New/Revised Sample Library and Playback

Editing / Mixing

• Naming scheme, as with existing: C8v1, for instance.
• initially in folders by note name
• use Python to move between mic and note file structures
• batch denoise with RX; keep original though! need to move to folders by mic image first, and create "silent" files.
• Python for creating mixes, followed by rebalancing, possibly onset detection and trimming, and adding fades.
  -- also, some cleaning up? For instance, discovered that there is some noise at the end of A0v1, would be easiest NOW to just trim the last two seconds off...

Sharing

• store on https://dataspace.princeton.edu ?
• share scripts, raw, denoised, and so on

Taplin

• Tune 1-2 times beforehand
• Andrés has mic setup in mind with multiple images

Specs/Process

• 96k, 24bit
• Every m3rd
• 16 velocity layers (fewer for una corda)
  -- use dB meter
  -- so, 30 x 16 = 480 samples per set
• LONG ringdown (we want good long tails)
• Quiet silent key release at end of bringdown

Sets

• Normal
  -- without sustain pedal
  -- do Normal, leave una corda til end, and omit if we don't have time

• Hammers
  -- 2-3 release speeds, every key

Short strikes for resonance (2-3 velocity layers, will have to edit out strike for later, to isolate resonance)

• with pedal + immediate hand muting of struck string (for sustain pedal resonance)
• without pedal and no hand muting (for release resonance); note that there are no dampers above G#6, so we'll need to think about that during implementation.
  --
• Pedal sounds (multiple velocities for each)
  -- depress
  -- release

Examples for modeling

• resonance; various combinations
• half-pedaling
