... with full emotional information, accuracy in both parameter-specific conditions would be inferior since both F0 and timbre carry unique information important for successful emotional decoding. However, we speculated that the relative importance of F0 vs timbre would differ as a function of emotion...

... of ppp to fff. While the change from 0 to 1 is binary, several points along the continuum produce a perceivable change in the distortion timbre as the triangle wave incrementally morphs into a square wave ( Ex. 11 ). The first point occurs when the triangle wave loses its peak. The second point...

... of primary progressive aphasia is not established. Using non-linguistic stimuli devoid of meaning we assessed three key domains of auditory processing (pitch, timing and timbre) in a consecutive series of 18 patients with primary progressive aphasia (eight with semantic variant, six with non-fluent...

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to determine the effects of voice timbre and accompaniment on working memory as measured by recall performance on a sequential digit recall...

Perceptual correlates of spectral and temporal parameters resulting from changing the number of harmonics and rise‐time duration, respectively, were investigated by using...

...This chapter considers some general approaches to the study of timbre and how they might be applied to rock; it also surveys the major rock instruments and the kinds of sounds they can produce. With regard to instrumentation—the choice of instruments and the ways that they are used—the focus...

...Sofia Gubaidulina’s Second String Quartet “musically thinks” difference, enacting in musical sound how difference arises through repetition. This analytical essay demonstrates how processes of timbre, dynamics, articulations, register, and pitch shape the Quartet’s overall formal design in which...

... techniques that might enhance their orchestration while masking the instrument’s metallic timbre. Less nuanced, the chapter proposes, were the theater practitioners who gratuitously struck the gong to enhance climaxes or cover stage noises, rendering it an all-purpose sound technology.

...The perception of a sound’s timbre and pitch may be related to the more basic auditory function of sound recognition. Timbre may be related to the sensory experience (or memory) by which we recognize the source or meaning of a sound, while pitch may involve the recognition and mapping of timbres...
