VAE-Generated Monophonic Electric Guitar Notes

This dataset contains audio files of monophonic electric guitar notes generated by a Timbre Generation Variational Autoencoder (VAE).

The Timbre Generation VAE was prompted to generate E4 electric guitar notes with varying timbral characteristics via each of the 20 timbre descriptors present within the SemanticTimbreDataset, leading to the sounds in the `generated' folders contained within the VAE-GeneratedTestSet folder. The original sounds are provided in the `original' folders for comparison to the VAE-generated sounds.

Furthermore, 10 5-point linear interpolations were performed between points in the Timbre Generation VAE's latent space, leading to the sounds in the `generated' folders contained within the VAE-InterpolatedTestSet folder. The interpolations' original start and target sounds are provided in the `original' folders for comparison to the VAE-generated sounds. These 10 interpolations were:
