Abstract
This book describes the content and the specifications of the UMA-Piano chord database, a piano database compiled specifically for research purposes. Shared database in the field of music information processing are now becoming common and allow to compare different methods with the same test set. There exist several examples of instrument sound databases but most of them contain just single notes or include a very limited number of chords and few types of chords. The presented UMA-Piano chord database includes 275,040 chords with polyphony number ranging from 1 to 10, each of which recorded with three dynamics levels and three different playing styles. The recorded chords have musical meaning as well as different difficulty levels of detection.
