Soundfonts

This week, I collected Soundfonts from the Musical Artifacts website. I was able to spend 2 hours on this task. However, it was difficult to find many piano or keyboard soundfonts since a lot of them were already collected by Brianna. Thus, I ended up collecting many electric piano, guitar, organ and synth soundfonts since they are pitch-based. After collecting these soundfonts and adding them onto the Google sheet, I also downloaded most of them and added them into the Google drive. Only a few were not able to be downloaded due to missing links.

Creating an Rmarkdown Document

A few weeks ago, I was tasked with creating an Rmarkdown document. I had trouble regarding that task due to technical complications with my computer. However, I recently got a new computer and I am now able to create Rmarkdown documents such as this one.

Installing Pyramidi and midi file manipulations

This week, I tried again to troubleshoot the errors I got last time with installing Pyramidi and using it. However, I am still running into errors regarding installing Pyramidi. My operating system version is Windows 11 and the code that I keep running into an error with is:

pip install git+https://github.com/konradswierczek/pyramidi.git

The error message that shows when I try the run the code is:

Error: unexpected symbol in "pip install"

The intended result was for Pyramidi to install on my laptop. I assume this error is because I am trying to run the command pip install in R instead of python. To fix this error, I tried to run the command on the python terminal but I also ran into more errors. For example, I got the following error:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

To resolve this, I used ChatGPT and was instructed to run the command in my system;s terminal, not the python terminal. However, when I tried to run the command in my system terminal, I ran into the following error:

pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (pip:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

I seem to keep running into errors when trying to install Pyramidi and I am not sure why this is. I am hoping to get some help with trouble shooting this error.

Extracting features with Librosa

In terms of extracting features with Librosa, I was still not able to get to this task since I am having trouble completing the prerequisite task of installing Pyramidi and manipualting my midi file. Hopefully once I am able to trouble shoot that task, I can move onto working with Librosa.
