Spectral analysis of flute organ whistles and their comparison
Sommer, Tomáš ; Michálková Slimáčková, Jana (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This work is focused on the problems of spectral analysis of flutes stops in organ pipes. The first part of this work is about terminology of organ pipes. This theoretical part is also focused on the problem of harmonic analysis with the use of mathematical signal processing methods, which allows this analysis. The second part of this work deals with measuring methods of specific organs and acquiring sound samples and their evaluation and spectrum description.

The comparison of acoustic properties of guitars from the same product line
Trávníčková, Hana ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This work is dealing with acoustic features of Furch guitars. In theoretical introduction is possible to find an information about basic characteristics of a tone. Following chapter about acoustic guitars is dealing even with mostly used types of woods for their manufacturing. In special chapter are described spectres of signals, LPC analysis, sound radiation of instruments and Chladni figures. Mentioned terms have been evaluated from measurements and are available in practical part of this work also including description of implementation of the measurement. As an output of this work is a comparison of acoustic features of measured guitars, their colours and modes.

The Influence of single harmonics or formants on timbre color perception
Klimeš, Martin ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis is dealing with the research of the influence of individual harmonic on the perception of sound color. An application was created with a questionnaire in which respondents assessed a total of 29 samples on different bipolar scales.The samples were either modeled by additive synthesis or created by modifying musical instruments. The aim was to investigate how and what combinations of higher harmonic affect the perception of sound color. The experiment is based on the semantic differential method. The samples were divided into several groups and within these groups they were compared and related to the expected color perception.

Sound records comparison using timbre features
Miklánek, Štěpán ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Kiska, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with research of musical features, which are describing music recordings relating to timbre. First chapter deals with historical development and modern approach in a discipline called Music Information Retrieval (MIR), further there is a description of music processing from the perspective of music theory and digital signal processing. Then followed by a description of signal pre-processing. This part is very important when retrieving features from music recordings. In chapter concerned about retrieving features there are summarized all common features used when retrieving information from musical recordings with main concern to timbral features. A database of music recordings and a feature retrieving system is introduced. The last chapter deals with individual analysis of timbral features.

The Analysis of spectrum and polar pattern of French horn with different mouthpieces and different elastic resonators
Holba, Stanislav ; Ketner, Zbyněk (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the French horn and adjusting mouthpieces for this instrument. The work briefly describes the French horn, its structure, production materials, history and development, and the description of the timbre possibilities. Furthermore, the work explains the use of the fast Fourier transform algorithm in the context of analysis. A list of characteristics features of individual tools and mouthpieces used for analysis follows. The work then compares selected tone samples of natural and valve French horns from various manufacturers, their harmonic spectra, and directional characteristics. For specific tones, a list of chosen psychoacoustic quantities is given. The obtained values are linked with the mechanical characteristics of individual instruments and mouthpieces.

Psychoacoustic Perception of Equal Instrumental Chords Distributed Differently in Stereo
Juren, Vojtěch ; Musil, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis deals with psychoacoustic perception of equally instrumented chords distributed differently in stereo. Also this thesis deals with psychoacoustic perception of unequally instrumented chords distributed differently in stereo. The thesis shows what is psychoacoustic perception, according to what is sound color determined, how does masking work between sounds and for people. Next, it shows examined chords which were differently distributed in stereo. These chords were listened by 72 listeners. They did, according to given scale, evaluate intelligibility of instruments within the chord where every individual tone was played by different instrument. The instruments were categorized into three categories according to their creating higher harmonic components. Also, the listeners evaluated intelligibility of the chords. The data were evaluated with help of psychoacoustic method called semantic differential and the results were set.

Spectrum analysis of the violin
Hanzálek, Pavel ; Smékal, Zdeněk (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This work focuses on the problems of sound spectrum analysis and directional characteristics of the violin. The beginning of the work deals with the development of the violin, generally about timbre and directional characteristics. The theoretical part also deals with different types of sound spectra and LPC analysis on general. The practical part deals with practical tasks of work such as a description of the application created in MATLAB for examination of the time spectrum of tones, FFT spectra, formants by LPC analysis and display of directional characteristics. It also deals with the describing the methods, the process of sensing and measuring two different violins with different types of strings and age of corpus.

Application for Measurement of Musical Instruments Directional Characteristics
Ustohalová, Iveta ; Orlovský, Kristián (referee) ; Mach, Václav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the directional charateristics of acoustics music instruments measurements. Compilalation of measuring apparatus including microphone array and the individual steps of measurement and post-processing of audio recordings in *.wav format using program created in MATLAB and ment for this purpose is described. The output are graphs showing the directional charakteristics of selected instruments - violin, clarinet, guitar and accordion in selected one-third octave bands. The measurement results are interpreted and if available, compared with results given in literature.
