This paper reports on the design and evaluation of drum rhythm spaces as interactive bi-dimensional maps used for the visualisation, retrieval and generation of drum patterns. We carry out two experiments exploring human processing of polyphonic drum patterns concluding with a list of descriptors that significantly influence similarity sensations. These features are used to build spaces based on drum pattern collections, where patterns are organised by similarity, modelled according to human perception. A drum-interpolation algorithm is introduced (and evaluated) to enhance rhythm space functionality by means of patterns that bound it, converting a discrete space to a continuous generative one.

鼓节奏空间：从复调相似性到生成图

本文报告了鼓节奏空间的设计和评估，作为用于可视化、检索和生成鼓模式的交互式二维地图。我们进行了两个实验，探索人类对和弦鼓模式的处理，最后列出了一系列对相似度有显着影响的描述符。这些特征用于基于鼓模式集合构建空间，其中模式按相似性组织，根据人类感知建模。鼓插值算法被引入（并评估）以通过绑定它的模式来增强节奏空间功能，将离散空间转换为连续生成空间。
