    摘要: A user interface implemented on a touch-sensitive display for a virtual musical instrument comprising a plurality of chord touch regions configured in a predetermined sequence, each chord touch region corresponding to a chord in a musical key and being divided into a plurality of separate touch zones, the plurality of chord touch regions defining a predetermined set of chords, where each of the plurality of separate touch zones in each region is associated with one or more preselected MIDI files stored in a computer-readable medium. Each of the plurality of touch zones is configured to detect one or more of a plurality of touch gesture articulations including at least one of a legato articulation, a pizzicato articulation, or a staccato articulation. The one or more of the plurality of touch gesture articulations determines the preselected MIDI file associated with each of the plurality of separate touch zones.

    摘要: A plurality of sets of waveform data and switchover position information indicative of, for each of the sets of waveform data, one or more possible switchover positions in the waveform data are prestored, and one set of waveform data is reproduced in accordance with the passage of time. During reproduction of a first set of waveform data, a second set of waveform data is designated at given timing in response to a user's instruction. Control is performed such that the waveform data to be reproduced is switched from the first set of waveform data over to the second set of waveform data in response to waveform data reproduction timing arriving at one of the possible switchover positions indicated by the switchover position information corresponding to the second set of waveform data. Reproduction of the second set of waveform data is started at the switchover position corresponding to the reproduction timing.

    摘要: Phase setting section sets virtual phases in a frequency series of an audio signal. Unit wave extraction section extracts, from the frequency series, a unit wave of one cyclic period defined by the set virtual phases, for each of a plurality of time points. First generation section generates velocity information corresponding to a degree of compression/expansion, to a predetermined length, of the unit wave. Second generation section generates shape information indicative of a shape of a frequency spectrum of the unit wave having been adjusted. Variation component impartment section generates a variation component by use of the velocity information and shape information generated for the individual time points.

    摘要: When the on-on time between Note 1 and Note 2 is shorter than the double stop judgment time JT, as shown in FIG. 3A, the mode is changed from Unison 1 to Unison 2. When note-on information of Note 1 is inputted at time t1, the parts 1-4 are assigned to Note 1, and simultaneously start sound generation at pitch n1, as shown in FIG. 3B. Next, when note-on information of Note 2 at pitch n2 lower than Note 1 is inputted at time t2, the mode is switched to Unison 2. Part 1 (with the timbre being trumpet) and Part 2 (with the timbre being clarinet) which are higher in the pitch order are assigned to Note 1, and continue generating the musical sound at pitch n1 of Note 1, and Part 3 (with the timbre being alto saxophone) and Part 4 (with the timbre being trombone) which are lower in the pitch order are assigned to Note 2, stop the sound generation at pitch n1, and start sound generation at pitch n2 of Note 2.

    摘要: Processor-implemented methods and systems for visually-assisted mixing of audio using a spectral analyzer are disclosed. The system calculates and displays a spectral view for each track in an arrangement in a multi-track view. A user can then request modification of the spectral view. In response to this request for modification, the system automatically adjusts associated mixing parameters for the modified track so that the spectral output of the track substantially matches the user-requested modified spectral view. This allows a user to visually mix an arrangement by imputing a desired spectral result and having the program make the changes necessary to achieve it.

Presentation includes at least one of: metadata about songs or sounds, a function capable of transitioning from one song to a next song, and user preferences; and can determine in what manner to transition from one song to a next song. Construction of songs includes either factors above, or at least one of: a function or a user extension capable of selecting a next song, and an element capable of determining whether the song is perceptually random. A user interface is capable of searching playlists and selecting them for presentation, representing each playlist with a substantially unique pictorial representation, distinguishing in presentation between those playlists licensed to the user and those that are not, and capable of substantially immediate purchase of playlist licenses either individually or in bulk and either automatically or with minimal intervention.

    摘要: A plurality of blocks of waveform data are stored in a memory, which also stores, for each of the blocks, synchronizing information representative of a plurality of cycle synchronizing points that are indicative of periodic specific phase positions where the block of waveform data should be synchronized in phase with another block of waveform data. Two blocks of waveform data (e.g., harmonic and nonharmonic components) are read out from the memory, along with the synchronizing information. On the basis of the synchronizing information, the readout of two blocks of waveform data is controlled using the synchronizing information. There is stored, for each of the blocks, at least one piece of synchronizing position information indicative of a specific position where the block should be synchronized with another block, and the readout of the individual blocks of waveform data is controlled so that the blocks are synchronized with each other using the synchronizing position information.

    摘要: In a storage section, there are stored special connecting waveform data for connecting between at least two notes to be generated in succession. The special connecting waveform data contain only a waveform of a succeeding-note region of a waveform connecting portion which is provided for a continuous transition between the at least two notes and which is divided into a preceding-note region and the succeeding-note region. When a connecting tone is to be generated for connecting between two notes in accordance with acquired performance information, a tone waveform connecting between waveforms of the two notes is generated using the special connecting waveform data. With such arrangements, the waveform data of the succeeding-note region are read out without waveform data of the preceding-note region being read out, so that it is possible to reduce a time required for transition from a preceding note to a succeeding note. Thus, in the connecting portion for continuously connecting between tones with no break therebetween, a tone can be synthesized with high quality without involving a tone generating delay in the succeeding note.
