OrchideaSOL: a dataset of extended instrumental techniques for computer-aided orchestration
share
This paper introduces OrchideaSOL, a free dataset of samples of extended instrumental playing techniques, designed to be used as default dataset for the Orchidea framework for target-based computer-aided orchestration. OrchideaSOL is a reduced and modified subset of Studio On Line, or SOL for short, a dataset developed at Ircam between 1996 and 1998. We motivate the reasons behind OrchideaSOL and describe the differences between the original SOL and our dataset. We will also show the work done in improving the dynamic ranges of orchestral families and other aspects of the data.
