Catalog Series

World Percussion Nexus

Rights-cleared, articulation-level recordings of global percussion instruments— captured as controllable rhythmic, timbral, and gestural primitives for generative audio systems.

Why this series matters

Percussion defines timing, energy, and embodiment in audio systems. This series focuses on repeatable strokes, resonance zones, hand techniques, and dynamic transitions—elements that are often flattened in generic drum datasets.

Gesture-driven rhythm

Hand & stick techniques

Resonance control

Temporal precision

What makes it hard to capture

High variability in hand position, force, and contact surface
Subtle resonance changes across strike zones
Need for precise timing isolation without groove loss
Metadata must reflect technique—not just tempo or kit labels

Typical use cases

Gesture-aware rhythm generation and control
Hand percussion articulation classification
Dynamic intensity and groove modeling
Evaluation of temporal consistency in generative systems

Proteus + Orpheus

All datasets in this series are protected under the Proteus Standard™. Orpheus metadata may be applied at the Enterprise tier to support instruction-tuned rhythmic control and technique-aware generation.
