    摘要: A device for processing an audio signal, includes an acquisition interface of a first analog input signal from an audio source; a first analog-to-digital converter of the first analog input signal to produce a second digital signal; at least one first digital component to perform a first digital equalization of the second digital signal, the first digital equalization being configurable according to first input parameters to produce a third digital signal, a first digital-to-analog converter of the third digital signal to generate a fourth analog signal; an analog processing stage including at least one electronic component having at least one predefined non-linear operating range, the stage being configured to process the fourth analog signal in at least a part of the non-linear operating range in order to generate a fifth analog signal; a second analog-to-digital converter and at least one second digital component to perform a second digital equalization.

    摘要: A harmonic-based intensity regulation system, method and device, disclosed herein, is applicable to sound assets. The system, in an embodiment, includes one or more data storage devices or tangible mediums that store or include a plurality of computer readable instructions configured to direct one or more processors to receive one or more inputs. The one or more inputs correspond to: a selection of one of a plurality of different harmonic classes, wherein each of the harmonic classes is associated with a variable harmonic frequency; a frequency range that is dimensioned or otherwise great enough to bound the variable harmonic frequency of the selected harmonic class and a plurality of other frequencies; an intensity threshold; and an amount of an intensity change. The instructions are also configured to direct the one or more processors to detect whether one or more frequencies of a frequency spectrum satisfy a regulation condition. The regulation condition includes a first requirement for the one or more frequencies to be within the frequency range, and the regulation condition also includes a second requirement for the one or more frequencies to have a designated relationship with the intensity threshold. The instructions are configured to direct the one or more processors to change an intensity of the detected one or more frequencies by at least part of the amount. The change can include an intensity decrease, an intensity elimination or an intensity increase.

    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for identification of a musical note played by a musical wind instrument with a resonant chamber having a plurality of configurations selectable by a player of the musical wind instrument and an electrically conductive surface in the resonant chamber. The system and method include a stimulation signal generator for generating a stimulation signal and antenna means mountable on the musical instrument for broadcasting the stimulation signal as an electromagnetic signal within the resonant chamber and for receiving a reflected electromagnetic signal from the resonant chamber The system and method also include an electronic processing unit for processing the reflected electromagnetic signal and determining therefrom a configuration of the resonant chamber selected by the player and indicative of a musical note that is or would be output by the instrument when played at the time of the received reflected signal.

    摘要: A method, system and processes to develop a patient tailored music therapy based on Indian Classical Music compositions to treat ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorders) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is described. According to this present invention there is provided a method to develop a tailored music therapy for treating patients suffering from ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorders) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) based on the patient's response and a system to measure response of the patient to music therapy and mindfulness inputs. This invention comprises of a process to determine suitable Indian Classical Music compositions playlist for use in treating the patient (FIG. 1) followed by further tuning of the selections allowable note levels, ramp up and ramp down times to and from allowable note levels, melody hold times and rhythm pattern selection to develop an optimum waveform (FIG. 2) all based on measuring the patient response using a multiple input—physical movement, audio and brain wave response measurement system (FIG. 3) or thru visual observations. The invention also provides a process to determine daily therapy and mindfulness time and a process for monthly music therapy and mindfulness tailoring. The invention also provides a system (FIG. 3) to measure patient response to the music therapy and mindfulness, which can be used in conjunction with or in place of visual observations. In this invention the patient starts off with a therapy and mindfulness tailoring session where a playlist of Indian Classical Music Raga compositions is first developed, selected based on the patient's response as measured by the system provided in FIG. 3 or thru visual observations. Then patient specific optimum note level, beat rhythm pattern and rhythm pattern frequency, ramp up to and down times from optimum note levels are determined based on the patient's response to create a waveform (FIG. 2). The playlist selections are then modified manually or by a computer program using the waveform parameters and when played to the patient elicits a Calm Range Response pattern defined by a state of stimulated mindfulness but not falling asleep characterized by specific range of motion, audio or brain wave response unique to the patient. The specific pieces of the waveform are derived by varying waveform parameters and measuring the response of the patient (FIGS. 4 A, B, C, D) using the response measuring system (FIG. 3) or thru visual observations. The invention also describes a process to develop daily listening period duration (FIG. 5). The invention describes a process used to develop a tailored therapy and mindfulness regimen tuned to the patient using response collected over a specific period of time (FIG. 6). The invention further describes a system and apparatus which dynamically measures multiple inputs—movement, voice and brain wave response of the patient in response to the music therapy and mindfulness playlist modified by the therapy and mindfulness waveform manually or automatically by software, and a software dashboard and database which collects data across a period of time and can show progress of patient during exposure to music therapy and mindfulness (FIG. 3). The invention results in a music therapy tailored to the patient.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed to a musical instrument having buttons, where the buttons determine the magnitude of the interval by which the melody will jump from the last note played. With a small number of interval buttons and an up/down strum bar, embodiments can play almost any melody and more notes than a piano. One embodiment is directed to an interval-based guitar including fret buttons whose input signals are used to calculate the interval by which to change the pitch of the prior note. Providing input via a strum bar or a sensor, a new note is generated by adding or subtracting the interval to/from the prior note to generate a new note.
