Methods and systems for assisting tonally-challenged singers. A microphone can be integrated with a sound reinforcement system used in a live performance. The microphone, which can transduce the performer's voice, can serve multiple purposes such as, for example, to feed input to the natural ear and to the sound reinforcement system. The processed sound of the performer's voice (with fundamental frequency emphasized) can be mixed into the signal fed to a stage “monitor” speaker facing the performer or a headset worn by the performer.

An improved tuning method for fixed interval musical instruments is provided. This Precise Temperament tuning method provide mathematically consistent intervals between notes to prevent dissonance within chords while retaining the esthetics of pure tones associated with Western music.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for network-based processing and distribution of multimedia content of a live performance are disclosed. In some implementations, recording devices can be configured to record a multimedia event (e.g., a musical performance). The recording devices can provide the recordings to a server while the event is ongoing. The server automatically synchronizes, mixes and masters the recordings. The server performs the automatic mixing and mastering using reference audio data previously captured during a rehearsal. The server streams the mastered recording to multiple end users through the Internet or other public or private network. The streaming can be live streaming.

The invention provides a method, system and tuning devices for reed and flue pipes for automatically tuning or checking the tuning of a pipe organ. The invention enables the tuning of the reed pipes to the same pitch as flue pipes if the fluctuation of temperature and humidity has caused a change in the pitch of the flue pipes, and to restore the tuning of the reed pipes in case of random loss of tuning. The invention allows to reduce the tuning time and to tune the pipes that require more frequent tuning (i.e. the reed pipes) unobtrusively to the organist and listeners during the playing of the organ. It is possible to employ the method of the invention on all pipes of an organ or only on a selection of them.

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for calibrating a musical device. In some embodiments, a method for calibrating a musical device includes: energizing an actuator to actuate a key using a force corresponding to a first intensity level; obtaining, from a sensor, a first sensor signal representing motion information of the key corresponding to application of the force; and calibrating the musical device based on the first sensor signal.
