A system is described that permits identified musical phrases or themes to be synchronized and linked into changing real-world events. The achieved synchronization includes a seamless musical transitionachieved using a timing offset, such as relative advancement of an significant musical onset, that is inserted to align with a pre-existing but identified music signature, beat or timebasebetween potentially disparate pre-identified musical phrases having different emotive themes defined by their respective time signatures, intensities, keys, musical rhythms and/or musical phrasing. The system operates to augment an overall sensory experience of a user in the real world by dynamically changing, re-ordering or repeating and then playing audio themes within the context of what is occurring in the surrounding physical environment, e.g. during different phases of a cardio workout in a step class the music rate and intensity increase during sprint periods and decrease during recovery periods.

The Plant Choir system comprises a software program and hardware that measures electrical activity of a person, plant, or animal and translates those readings into music on a computing device. The system gathers electrical activity data using electrodermal activity (EDA) measurement devices. The EDA readings of the individual subjects are translated via the software into musical melodies in real time. The individual subject melodies are combined to create interesting harmonies similar to a choir. The music is rendered using a MIDI (Musical Instrument Data Interface) programming interface of the computer operating system. The software allows the user to select program options, set music and program parameters. Variations in the EDA signal are interpreted as music. Each subject connected to the system is assigned a musical voice and the voices are combined to create multi part harmonies similar to a choir.

A system and methods for acquiring cadence and selecting a song version based on the acquired cadence are disclosed. If the system detects a new cadence, then a new song version that corresponds to the new cadence can be played. The new song version playback can start in a corresponding position as the location of playback in a currently-playing song version. Each related song version shares one or more characteristics, such as melody, but is different in at least one characteristic, such as tempo.

Systems, devices, and methods, etc., that provide digital audio toolboxes, music kits, digital audio tracks, etc., herein supply digital audio tracks such as music for combination with and synchronization with digital pre-existing media tracks. The toolkits, etc., herein provide users with visual tracks in media, to create, provide and/or synchronize precisely timed tracks used in audio media productions, or otherwise to provide multiple, precisely timed and synced tracks where a music/sound design track from the toolkits is added to a pre-made media track such as a visual footage.

A sound source system has a configuration including: a plurality of sound source cores that process musical sound data; a phase control circuit that aligns phases of clocks defining an input/output timing of the musical sound data with respect to a sound source core among the plurality of sound source cores; and a connection control circuit that controls connection among the plurality of sound source cores such that musical sound data in which phases of the clocks are aligned is transferred among the plurality of sound source cores.

A device, method, and medium for integrating monaural and binaural beats into music are provided. The music is analyzed to determine key, root tone, and spectral range. It is then remixed with monaural beats and/or binaural beats at frequencies based on a desired entrainment frequency and the root tone and lowest dominant frequency range of the music. Additional harmonics of the beats in higher octaves may be integrated into the music as well using mixing and/or equalization.

Techniques described herein enable administrative control features for hosted game applications. A user with appropriate credentials can override an administrator of a game application to control and view all aspects of a game session from a companion application operating on a remote computing device. The techniques disclosed herein enable a remote user with appropriate credentials to control and modify aspects of a game application or a game session. The features can include, but are not limited to, the ability to shape a 3D virtual environment, add players, remove players, modify possessions of players, call players to a beacon, modify attributes of an environment, locate items, and listen to player communication.

An integrated system and method that provides users with non-destructive ways of manipulating musical scores and or audio recordings for student practise, testing and assessment. The said integrated system and method allows users to create questions that utilise one or more of the manipulated items, present questions to a student, collect the said students answer and assess the said students answer. The said integrated system is delivered via digital devices including computers, tablets, smartphones and other such devices.

An apparatus, method, and computer-readable storage medium that compensate for latency in a musical collaboration. The method includes setting a tempo for a first client device to follow, receiving a musical piece from the first client device, transmitting the musical piece to a second client device, and instructing the second client device, via an instruction transmitted along with the musical piece, to delay playback of the musical piece a predetermined amount of time to compensate for latency in the musical collaboration, the predetermined amount of time being associated with a measure or a fraction of a measure.

A system and methods for acquiring cadence and selecting a song version based on the acquired cadence are disclosed. If the system detects a new cadence, then a new song version that corresponds to the new cadence can be played. The new song version playback can start in a corresponding position as the location of playback in a currently-playing song version. Each related song version shares one or more characteristics, such as melody, but is different in at least one characteristic, such as tempo.
