The disclosure provides a terminal, a terminal communication method, and a communication system. The terminal is connected to a server and connected to an electronic device via the server and includes a correspondence data information storage means, a data association information receiving means, a comparison means, and a display means. The correspondence data information storage means stores correspondence data information of the electronic device. The data association information receiving means receives, from the server, data association information associated with data used for reproduction of sounds or images in the electronic device. The comparison means compares the data association information with the correspondence data information. The display means displays the data association information included in the correspondence data information based on a comparison result obtained by the comparison means.

Techniques are disclosed relating to determining composition rules, based on existing music content, to automatically generate new music content. In some embodiments, a computer system accesses a set of music content and generates a set of composition rules based on analyzing combinations of multiple loops in the set of music content. In some embodiments, the system generates new music content by selecting loops from a set of loops and combining selected ones of the loops such that multiple ones of the loops overlap in time. In some embodiments, the selecting and combining loops is performed based on the set of composition rules and attributes of loops in the set of loops.

An intuitive music composition game platform with various modes of operation in a single reader system and a music mash up collectable card game and method using cards with tags and unique identifications. A single reading platform includes a cover for card storage and for supporting a smart device platform for reading many Near Field communication (NFC) embedded cards, with stacking features and colored light indicated input lanes selection for user identification and selection. Various game modes include individual, studio mix, party modes game play features in music mash up collectable card games, which may be used together with or independent of accessory devices as controllers, or smart device user interfaces with Bluetooth™ or Wi-Fi for communicating user selection and operation.

The disclosure provides a server, an electronic device, a server communication method, a device communication method, and a communication system. In loading of a communication system, in the case where an identifier of a timbre data and an instruction for loading the timbre data are transmitted from a mobile terminal to a server, the server acquires the timbre data corresponding to the identifier of the timbre data from a timbre DB, and transmits the timbre data together with the received instruction to a communication device (electronic musical instrument). In the electronic musical instrument, the received timbre data is stored to a work memory in response to the instruction received from the server.

The present disclosure provides a method and a system for realizing intelligent matching and adding of rhythmic tracks. In one example, a method is provided, including: pre-storing a plurality of music elements; generating a rhythmic track library according to the plurality of music elements, the rhythmic track library including a plurality of rhythmic tracks based on the plurality of music elements; detecting a BPM of original music, and calculating a time interval between every two beats based on the detected BPM of the original music; selecting one or more rhythmic tracks from the rhythmic track library, and assigning a time parameter to the one or more rhythmic tracks based on the time interval so as to match the rhythm of the original music; and adding the one or more rhythmic tracks assigned with the time parameter into the original music so as to combine with the original music and play.

A generative composition system reduces existing musical artefacts to constituent elements termed “Form Atoms”. These Form Atoms may each be of varying length and have musical properties and associations that link together through Markov chains. To provide myriad new composition, a set of heuristics ensures that musical textures between concatenated musical sections follow a supplied and defined briefing narrative for the new composition whilst contiguous concatenated Form Atoms are also automatically selected to see that similarities in respective and identified attributes of musical textures for those musical sections are maintained to support maintenance of musical form. Independent aspects of the disclosure further ensure that, within the composition work, such as a media product or a real-time audio stream, chord spacing determination and control are practiced to maintain musical sense in the new composition. Further, a structuring of primitive heuristics operates to maintain pitch and permit key transformation. The system and its functionality provides signal analysis and music generation through allowing emotional connotations to be specified and reproduced from cross-referenced Form-Atoms.

Techniques for automatically controlling the expressive behavior of a virtual musical instrument by analyzing an audio recording of a live musician are provided. In some embodiments, an audio recording may be analyzed at various points along the timeline of the recording to derive corresponding values of a parameter that is in some way representative of the musical expression of the live musician. Values of control parameters that control one or more aspects of the audio playback of a virtual instrument may then be generated based on the determined values of the expression parameter. Values of control parameters may be provided to a sample library to control how a digital score selects and/or plays back samples from the library, and/or values of the control parameters may be stored with the digital score for subsequent playback.
