The jukebox chassis and cover are designed to enable the jukebox chassis to detachably slide-on to the cover. Various securing mechanisms and access mechanisms may be configured. The jukebox and cover assembly is configured for use in commercial venues and can be customized to each location.

An electronic device having a circuitry configured to perform audio source separation on an audio input signal to obtain a separated source and configured to perform audio dubbing on the separated source based on replacement conditions to obtain a personalized separated source.

An electronic device having a circuitry configured to perform audio source separation on an audio input signal to obtain a vocals signal and an accompaniment signal and to perform a confidence analysis on a user's voice signal based on the vocals signal to provide guidance to the user.

Provided is an automatic music playing control device that provides an instruction of playing music, the control device implementing natural music playing capable of expressing the timing and voicing in live music playing of a musical instrument by a player. The automatic music playing control device includes at least one processor, and the at least one processor selects a voicing pattern corresponding to a combination of the probabilistically-selected number of sounds to be emitted and a decided voicing type corresponding to a range from among a plurality of voicing patterns based on a scale decided according to the tune and chords of a music piece and instructs a sound source to emit a chord voiced based on the selected voicing pattern.

An apparatus and method for generating visual content from an audio signal are described. The method includes receiving (310) audio content, processing (320) the audio content to separate into a first and second portion of the audio content, converting (330) the second portion into visual content, delaying (340) the first portion based on a time relationship between the audio content and the visual content, the delaying accounting for time to process the first portion and convert the second portion, and providing (350) the visual content and audio content for reproduction. The apparatus includes a source separation module (210) processing the received audio content to separate into a first and second portion of the audio content, a converter module (220) converting the second portion into visual content, and a synchronization module (230) delaying the first portion based on a time relationship between the audio content and the visual content.

Disclosed herein are method, system, and computer program product embodiments for performing the continuous tuning of received audio input from an earpiece or microphone, wherein the audio input is independently altered in the frequency domain for output to an earpiece worn by a user as well as separately for an additional audio output to an external connected speaker, for an optimal experience.

The present invention discloses an integrated karaoke device, including a microphone and a sound box. The sound box includes a sound chamber (400) containing a loudspeaker (500). The integrated karaoke device further includes a connecting part (100) made of flexible material that is fixedly connected between a bottom of the microphone and a top of the sound chamber (400). The use of a flexible material connecting part (100) rather than a solid structural part reduces the transmission to the microphone of sound vibration generated by the sound box. The beneficial effect of implementing the present invention is that a flexible material connecting part is fixedly connected between the bottom of the microphone and the top of the sound chamber, and meanwhile, a gap is kept between the bottom of a printed circuit board (PCB) and the top of the sound chamber; and because the flexible material connecting part can effectively reduce sound vibration, the transmission of vibration to the microphone from the sound box can be effectively eliminated, thereby preventing squealing, and enabling integration of the microphone and the sound box for use in karaoke.

A device for automatically generating a real time accompaniment of input music data includes a music input that receives music data. A music analyzer analyzes received music data to obtain a music data description including one or more characteristics of the analyzed music data. A query generator generates a query to a music database including music patterns and associated metadata including one or more characteristics of the music patterns, the query being generated from the music data description and from an accompaniment description describing preferences of the real time accompaniment and/or music rules describing general rules of music. A query interface queries the music database using a generated query and receives a music pattern selected from the music database by use of the query. A music output outputs the received music pattern.

An automatic performance system includes a sign detector configured to detect a sign action of a performer performing a musical piece, a performance analyzer configured to sequentially estimates a performance position in the musical piece by analyzing an acoustic signal representing performed sound in parallel with the performance, and a performance controller configured to control an automatic performance device to carry out an automatic performance of the musical piece so that the automatic performance is synchronized with the sign action detected by the sign detector and a progress of the performance position estimated by the performance analyzer.

Performance information of a music performance executed by a user is received, and temporarily stored into a buffer for each given time period. The performance information is recorded into a recording section in response to a recording instruction by the user. Second performance information having a definite time period is reproduced repeatedly, and the user ad-libs a desired musical performance while listening to the repeatedly reproduced tones of the second performance information. The given time period is set to coincide with the definite time period of the second performance information. Temporarily-stored performance information for the given time period is recorded in one of a plurality of recording tracks. In response to a plurality of user's recording instructions, a plurality of different segments of performance information for the given time period are recorded into respective ones of the recording tracks, and these different segments are reproduced repeatedly in synchronized fashion.
