This dataset supports the thesis entitled 'Modelling sound generation in pianos'

DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This dataset contains:
Several audio files with the format of MMX_NN_T_Model
where
'X' is the number of the file
'NN' is the note, which can be C2 or C4
'T' is the term that was sampled, e.g: Fb which is the force transmitted to the soundboard, vk which is velocity at the middle of the soundboard
'Model' is the soundboard model used which can be
SS: simply supported string (no soundboard)
KV: Kelvin-Voigt soundboard model consisting in a spring and a damper
minimal: Minimal modal model containing a limited amount of soundboard modes
FE: Finite element soundboard model

For the duplex scaling files the format is: MMX_NN_T_cdY
where 
'Y' is the coefficient of the duplex scaling segment used

For the files MM16-MM19 the format of the name is: MMX_T_coupl
where
'X' is the number of the file
'T' is the term, it can be FL (longitudinal force) or FT (transverse force)
'coupl' is the coupling described in Chapter 8 of the thesis, which can be one-way (transverse to longitudinal, TL)or two-way (crosscoupling).
