Abstract
In this paper we deal with the problem of identification of the dominating instrument in the recording containing simultaneous sounds of the same pitch. Sustained harmonic sounds from one octave of eight instruments were considered. The training data set contains sounds of singular instruments, as well as the same sounds with added artificial harmonic and noise sounds of lower amplitude. The test data set contains mixes of musical instrument sounds. SVM classifier from WEKA was used for training and testing experiments. Results of these experiments are presented and discussed in the paper.
