Miningsuite: A Comprehensive Matlab Framework for Signal, Audio and Music Analysis, Articulating Audio and Symbolic Approaches

Abstract

The MiningSuite is a free open-source and comprehensive Matlab framework for the analysis of signals, audio recordings, music recordings, music scores, other signals such as motion capture data, etc., under a common modular framework. It adds a syntactic layer on top of Matlab, so that advanced operations can be specified using a simple and adaptive syntax. This makes the Matlab environment very easy to use for beginners, and in the same time allows power users to design complex workflows in a modular and concise way through a simple assemblage of operators featuring a large set of options. The MiningSuite is an extension of MIRtoolbox, a Matlab toolbox that has become a reference tool in MIR.
