Pipo.sylseg

Hi all,

Is it possible to detect a similar rhythmic pattern (2 participants) with pipo.sylseg?
By the way, max crashes when I run the “Syllable segmentation details” example in the help file.

Hello Shai, great question! Is this comparing the same sentence from different speakers?
Intuitively I’d transform the markers into a list of IOIs (inter onset intervals) and compare these. mubu.knn should be able to do that for you, as it calculates weighted eulidean distances, but a simple vexpr would even be clearer.
Also check out mubu.dtw, which would align the two sequences and give you the alignment “cost”.
Are you using the latest mubu?

Dear Diemo Schwarz,
Thank you for your response.
My goal is to find patterns in the free improvised drumming of 2 participants performed without a click track. I am already halfway through your solution.
Also, I’ve upgraded to the latest mubu version and the help file is working now.
Best,
Shai

Drum patterns are still hard to find in the data…
