How to Perform Piano Transcription
Piano transcription is the process of recognising notes from music. This requires analyzing the piano spectrogram to identify the individual notes. In this paper, we propose a two-stage transcription framework combining spectrogram factorization and deep learning. In the first stage, we use two convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to recognize individual piano notes. In the second stage, we verify each candidate pitch and create templates for a specific piano.
The proposed method has been successfully applied to the piano transcription task. It has also been successfully used to render music with a virtual piano. The proposed method can estimate both note pitches and notes’ onsets, which improves the transcription accuracy. However, a critical limitation of this technique is that it is unable to detect the duration of individual notes.
The system uses a set of 88 outputs, which correspond to the notes A-C8 on a piano. The music is sampled at 100 Hz, with the 88 outputs representing the notes of a piano. A single test file can contain 54 inputs, resulting in 648, 000 frames during the test time.

While monophonic AMT is considered solved, the polyphonic version of this technique has yet to be fully developed. Polyphonic music is composed of many notes that overlap in the frequency domain and interact in the time domain. As the number of sound sources increases, the complexity of the signal increases. For example, in orchestral music, multiple instruments play concurrent notes.
Recent progress on NLP tasks has motivated further research on this method. It has improved transcription performance with MLMs when trained on MIDI ground truth. By repeating previous inputs, the MLM can increase log-likelihood. The researchers are using the RNN MLM method to train this model.

The trained PLCA model is trained on recordings of nine piano models from the MAPS database. The trained PLCA model has a high fidelity accuracy and is sensitive to multiple pitches. In addition, the model’s performance has been evaluated on recordings of a Yamaha Disklavier piano. It is a promising approach for musical transcription. There are a variety of applications for this technique.
Another popular AMT technique is Probabilistic Latent Component Analysis. This method aims to fit a probabilistic latent-variable model to normalised spectrograms. Recently, deep neural networks have been used in music transcription. Sigtia proposed a new language model for music transcription. Furthermore, Kelz applied AUNet and ConvNet to transcription.
