Abstract:
A music playing movement display device includes CPU displaying a music playing movement image on a display unit based on music playing information, movement information, and structural data stored in RAM. the CPU determines whether to perform display of a music playing technique based on a music playing technique flag of the music playing information stored in the RAM, and, when determining to perform the display of the music playing technique, allows to change a display mode of the image corresponding to the music playing technique, compared to a display mode of a image corresponding to that of a case of not displaying the music playing technique.
Abstract:
A system and computer program for virtual musical instruments includes a touch-sensitive screen; a selection interface that presents a list of virtual instruments on the screen for the user to select a virtual instrument; and a performance interface that presents a plurality of virtual instrument input elements on the screen for the user to play the virtual instrument by touching the screen. The system utilizes the location and speed of the user's touches to produce the sound, which may be a note produced with a sound effects library.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Disclosed are a device and a method to display a fingerboard of a mobile vibration guitar in a mobile device, such as a cellular phone. A mobile device screen, such as a cellular phone screen, is too small to display a long fingerboard without causing difficulties when playing. The present invention is provided to display a whole fingerboard within a small screen of a mobile device without any difficulties when playing. A player may play the mobile virtual guitar by applying various playing techniques used to play the real guitar. The fingerboard is directly played with fingers on a mobile screen that is a touch screen supporting a multi-touch operation. Since a movement recognition sensor is attached inside the mobile device, and the fingerboard on the screen is synchronized with the longitudinal movement of the fingers, the fingerboard may move in the same direction and at the same speed as the movement of the fingers. The mobile device is equipped with the movement recognition sensor and the touch screen supporting the multi-touch operation. The fingerboard is displayed on the touch screen so that the player may play the guitar by pressing chords displayed on the touch screen with fingers. The touch screen displays the fingerboard according to the speed and movement of the fingers as the movement recognition sensor senses the fingers collinearly moved with the fingerboard. The whole actual fingerboard of the guitar is naturally displayed on a screen of a mobile device, such as a cellular phone having a small screen without an auxiliary device, and the player may play the mobile virtual guitar by applying various playing techniques used to play the real guitar.
Abstract:
For controlling the acoustic reproduction of audio data containing audio elements that are periodically repeated, movement data regarding a movement process is detected. The movement process contains recurring events. Reproduction of the audio data is controlled using the movement data in such a way that at least within a certain period, one out of n audio elements that are periodically repeated is reproduced in synchrony with the moment one of the recurring events occurs (synchronization) or is reproduced temporally offset by a given amount of time from the moment one of the recurring events occurs (offset synchronization). The value n represents a positive integer.
Abstract:
There are disclosed systems and methods for measuring the bowing parameters and the bowed string dynamics of a player playing a bowed string instrument. A system for measuring the bowing parameters and the bowed string dynamics may comprise a computer, a bow system and a base component. The bow system may comprise a force sensing mechanism and a bow board. The bow board may comprise an acceleration and angular velocity sensing mechanism, a position and speed sensing mechanism, a data communication module, and a power module. The base component may comprise an acceleration and angular velocity sensing mechanism, a position and speed sensing mechanism, a data communication module, and a power module.
Abstract:
One describes an electronic device for the production, playing, accompaniment and evaluation of sounds, comprising means do be associated to audio system and, the device comprising a) a processing unit which (i) produces musical instrument sounds from an user's touches; (ii) plays music sounds, adds musical effects, alters reproduction parameters of the music playing; (iii) mixes sounds produced from the user's touches with music sounds played; and (iv) comprises music parameters able to evaluate an instrumental accompaniment performance resulted from the instrumental music sounds produced by the user's touches; b) the processing unit comprising a touch sensitive surface which comprises: (i) touch sensors arranged under said surface providing regions sensitive to touches; and (ii) Leds distributed under said surface and controlled by a microprocessor providing a luminous indication sequence according to the music sounds played, said luminous indication sequence being following by touches of the user in this surface.
Abstract:
When a cursor (105: FIG. 12) is correctly manipulated in correspondence with guides (“G1” to “G4” and “g1” to “g5”: FIG. 12), the display of the dance object (106: FIG. 12) and the background (110: FIG. 12) is controlled in accordance with the manipulation direction of the cursor. The position of the operation article on a screen (91: FIG. 1) is obtained as the coordinates of the cursor by intermittently irradiating an operation article (150: FIG. 1) by a stroboscope and capturing the image thereof by an imaging unit (13: FIG. 1).
Abstract:
There is provided a musical tone control system capable of controlling the generation of musical tones in a manner reflecting only motion or physical posture suitable for the musical tone generation control when controlling the generation of musical tones reflecting motions of a plurality of users or a plurality of body parts thereof or physical posture thereof. A plurality of motion detecting devices capable of being carried by operators detect motions of the users or operators carrying the devices, and transmit detected motion signals indicative of the detected motions. A receiver device receives the detected motion signals transmitted from the plurality of motion detecting devices. A CPU control extracts at least one detected motion signal satisfying a predetermined condition from the detected motion signals received by the receiver device and controls musical tones to be generated, based on the extracted at least one detected motion signal.
