摘要:
In a player piano, a position sensor (555) is provided on an end portion of a lifting rail (8) for detecting a vertical position of the lifting rail. In storing performance data of dampers, a signal output from the position sensor and indicative of a vertical position of the lifting rail is converted into a digital signal, and a position value indicative of the position of the lifting rail is generated on the basis of the digital signal and stored into a buffer (1023). A conversion section (1021) converts the position value into a vertical position of a pedal rod connected to a damper pedal, and the thus-converted vertical position is converted into a control value which a control change message of the damper pedal in MIDI-format data can take. The control value obtained in the aforementioned manner can be recorded into a recording medium as performance information.

A reproduction apparatus 2 collects sounds on which spread codes are superimposed with a microphone 20 to calculate correlation values between the collected sound signals and the same spread codes as those of an apparatus which performed the superimposition to identify content reproduced by a reproduction apparatus 1 in accordance with the intensity of the peaks of the calculated correlation values. A control portion 22 identifies content which is correlated with the identified content and is necessary for the reproduction apparatus 2. The control portion 22 reads out the identified content data from a content data storage portion 25 to output the musical score data and the audio data to a display portion 23 and a reproduction portion 26, respectively. The display portion 23 displays the input musical score data on a screen, while the reproduction portion 26 reproduces the input audio data to generate sound signals.

An automatic player piano is a combination between an acoustic piano (1) and an automatic playing system (10), and a grand piano and an upright piano are used as the acoustic piano; the grand piano has action units prompter than action units of the upright piano so that a half-stroke recorded through the grand piano is not reproducible by the upright piano; the automatic playing system (10) causes the hammers (3) to rotate toward the strings (4) without any escape, thereby compensating the poor promptness with the short keystroke of the keys (1b, 1c) until the rotation of hammers (3).

A speed detecting apparatus for a keyboard musical instrument is provided for accurately detecting the speed of pivotal movements of a hammer and a key even if a shutter implies errors in its attachment, without affected by such errors. The speed detecting apparatus for a keyboard musical instrument comprises a pivotable key (4), a hammer (5) pivotably supported by a fulcrum and configured to pivotally move in association with a pivotal movement of the key, a shutter (6) integrally attached to the hammer, a plurality of detectors (7,8), each having a light emitter and a light receiver for receiving light emitted from the light emitter, arranged on one and the other sides of the pivotal movement path of the shutter, and a CPU for detecting a pivot speed of the hammer in response to timings at which the shutter opens and closes the light paths of the light of the plurality of detectors when the hammer pivotally moves. The plurality of detectors have detection points on respective light paths of the light from the light emitters, and are arranged such that the detection points are positioned on an arc centered at the fulcrum of the hammer.

An automatic player piano is implemented with an automatic player unit and a mechanical piano (21) having a keyboard (31) mounted on a key bed (32), and the automatic player unit has a controller (37) operative to memorizing pieces of a key touch information respectively representative of grades of intensity assigned to the sounds in the recording mode of operation and retrieve the pieces of the key touch information in the playback mode of operation, a plurality of actuators (30a) provided in the association with the keyboard and responsive to the pieces of the key touch information for causing the keys to move, and a sensor unit (29) operative to detect key motions of the keys for producing the pieces of the key touch information in the recording mode of operation, wherein the sensor unit is provided between the keyboard and the key bed because the space therebetween is largely equal regardless of the model of the mechanical piano.
摘要:
A vibration detection mechanism includes: a first sensor section that detects vibration of a vibrating member of a musical instrument in a first direction being a main vibration direction; a second sensor section that detects vibration of the vibrating member in a second direction being approximately perpendicular to the first direction; and a third sensor section that detects vibration of the vibrating member in a third direction being approximately perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. Sensitivity of the second sensor section is greater than sensitivity of the first sensor section. Sensitivity of the third sensor section is greater than the sensitivity of the first sensor section.
摘要:
Automatic transcription of musical content included in an audio signal received by a computing device. The method includes processing the input audio signal to extract musical information characterizing at least a portion of the musical content and generating a plurality of musical notation styles or layouts representing alternative musical interpretations of the extracted musical information. The method further includes applying a selected one of the plurality of musical notations for transcribing the musical content of the received audio signal, either by a user selection or by an automated selection. The plurality of musical notations differ from each other by at least one of key signature, time signature, meter, note values. An accompaniment that is musically compatible with the input audio is also generated and included in the output audio.

A conversion section (1021) converts the position value into a vertical position of a pedal rod connected to a damper pedal, and the thus-converted vertical position is converted into a control value which a control change message of the damper pedal in MIDI-format data can take. The control value obtained in the aforementioned manner can be recorded into a recording medium as performance information.
