Monophonic Electric Guitar Notes to Train a Timbre Generation VAE

This dataset contains a subset of audio files from the SemanticTimbreDataset that were used to train a Timbre Generation VAE.

Files are organised as follows: Timbre_Group/Timbre_Descriptor/Timbre_Magnitude.

The audio files with a timbre magnitude of 0 in the OscillationFX/Fluttery directory are monophonic electric guitar notes recorded from a Fender Stratocaster originally sourced from the EGFxSet [1]. All other audio files are those original clean samples processed through various guitar pedals affecting the sounds at various intensities (timbre magnitude). Each guitar pedal's effect can be described by a separate timbre descriptor. This training dataset contains 19 timbre descriptor groups in total, where each timbre descriptor group contains audio files with timbre magnitudes of 25, 50, 75, and 100.
