Table 3.

Grayscale selections for timbre: the grayscale selected for each sound is shown in this table.

The grayscales are, from the lightest to the darkest, 0.9, 0.6, 0.3, and 0 (black). CMG is a confidence measure which shows what percentage of subjects have agreed on the selected grayscale. Sounds derived from Cello, Guitar, Marimba, and Piano have been mostly associated with light scales (0.6 and 0.9) and those of Sax, Crash Cymbals, and Gong have been mostly associated with dark scales (0 and 0.3). The chance level is 25%. The distribution of grayscales for sounds marked with asterisks were not different from chance level (see text for statistics).
