Instrumental Bengali music synthesis from transcription with Indian percussion instruments

The Tabla is one of the most sophisticated percussion instruments extensively used in many Asian countries. Scientists say that it is almost impossible to model due to its complicated physical structure. This paper proposes a method to incorporate recorded tabla sound to the MIDI standard so that it can be used like other midi instrument. We have also developed a public web interface to synthesize instrumental music from transcription. We have then added tabla to the music to get a complete performance. The synthesized music is rhythmically perfect and sounds natural having a Mean Opinion Score (MOS) of 4.5 [with a scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (good)] of 4.
