# Single Note Database

The SNDB [1] contains of 30883 single tones from **4 datasets** [2-5] holding **11 orchestra instruments**: piano, violin, cello, contrabass, trumpet, trombone, horn, oboe, bassoon, clarinet and flute. There are **5 different dynamics** (pp, p, mf, f and ff) and **42 different articulations** which are explained more fully in the datasheets of the original databases [2,3,5].

## Building

Please refer to [build/README.md](build/README.md) on how to create the SNDB out of the original datasets [2-5].

## Usage

The file `SNDB.json` contains all items and their attributes:

| artic | db | dyn | instr | instr_nr | is_ot | midi | multiples_nr | name | string |
|:--------|:-----|:------|:--------|-----------:|:--------|-------:|---------------:|:-----------------------|:---------|
| np | F | f_ | Pia | 1 | False | 13 | 0 | 01Pia1F013f_np___0.wav | _ |
| np | F | m_ | Pia | 1 | False | 13 | 0 | 01Pia1F013m_np___0.wav | _ |
| sp | R | m_ | Cel | 1 | False | 51 | 0 | 03Cel1R051m_sp___0.wav | _ |
| tr | R | m_ | Cel | 1 | False | 56 | 0 | 03Cel1R056m_tr___0.wav | _ |
| sp | R | f_ | Cel | 2 | False | 77 | 0 | 03Cel2R077f_sp___0.wav | _ |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

All attributes and their meaning are described in the accompanying paper [1].

You can read this file into Pandas using

```python
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_json('SNDB.json')
```
