How Does it Work?

Tabber uses a pre-trained machine learning model for both pitch and onset detection to determine which note was played and when. A heuristic is then used to estimate where the notes were likely played on the fretboard. Tabs are generated from these locations as raw text.

About

Tabber started as a UVic capstone project written in the summer of 2020 by three UVic students interested in solving new problems with machine learning. Since its initial implementaion, new features have been implemented periodically. Feedback or suggestions for new features are welcome!

Tabber is currently an alpha release. Please submit any bugs found as github issues.
