Abstract: Operation terminal capable of being carried by a user or human operator is, for example, in the form of a bar or shoe, and detection is made of a movement trajectory of the operation terminal on the basis of movement of the operation terminal. Tone signal is generated with a desired tone factor, such as a tone color, tone volume, tone pitch or effect, set or controlled on the basis of the detected movement trajectory of the operation terminal. Also, detection is made of a mechanical amount of the operation terminal corresponding to a motion of the user carrying the operation terminal, such as an amount of displacement of a predetermined portion (e.g. a shoe's heel portion) of the operation terminal or pressure applied to the predetermined portion, so that a tone signal is generated with a desired tone factor set or controlled on the basis of the detected mechanical amount.

Abstract: An interactive music system in accordance with various aspects of the invention lets a user control the playback of recorded music according to gestures entered via an input device, such as a mouse. The system includes modules which interpret input gestures made on a computer input device and adjust the playback of audio data in accordance with input gesture data. Various methods for encoding sound information in an audio data produce with meta-data indicating how it can be varied during playback are also disclosed. More specifically, a gesture input system receives user input from a device, such as a mouse, and interprets this data as one of a number of predefined gestures which are assigned an emotional or interpretive meaning according to a nullcharacternull hierarchy or library of gesture descriptions. The received gesture inputs are used to alter the character of music which is being played in accordance with the meaning of the gesture. For example, an excited gesture can effect the playback in one way, while a quiet playback may affect it in another. The specific result is a combination of the gesture made by the user, its interpretation by the computer, and a determination of how the interpreted gesture should effect the playback. Entry of a excited gesture thus may brighten the playback, e.g., by changing increasing the tempo, changing from a minor to major key, varying the instruments used or the style in which they are played, etc. In addition, the effects can be cumulative, allowing a user to progressively alter the playback. To further enhance the interactive nature of the system, users can be given the ability to alter the effect of a given gesture or assign a gesture to specific places in the character hierarchy.
