A method of automatically confirming the uniqueness of digital pieces of music produced by an automated music composition and generation system while satisfying the creative intentions of system users. The method involves reviewing, selecting and providing one or more musical experience descriptors and time and/or space parameters, to an automated music composition and generation engine operably connected to the system user interface. The automated music composition and generation engine includes a music piece analysis subsystem for automatically examining each piece of composed music that has been generated by said automated music composition and generation engine, comparing the digital piece of composed and generated music against other digital pieces of music composed and generated by said automated music composition and generation system for said system user, and determining whether or not the examined digital piece of composed and generated music is sufficiently unique. Also, the method automatically confirms with the system user that each examined digital piece of composed and generated music satisfies the creative intentions of the system user.

An electronic-drum module for connection to one or more electronic-drum pads is provided. The module includes an electronic display; a first memory storing audio files for playback when the playback is triggered by a signal received from a pad; and one or more processors coupled to the display and the memory. The processors are configured receive an instruction to transfer a set of samples. The set of samples is associated with a priority-instruction and includes a first subset of samples and a second subset of samples. The processors are also configures to transfer the first subset of samples from a second memory to the first memory based on the priority-instruction before transferring the second subset of samples and to transfer the second subset of samples from the second memory to the first memory.

The module includes an electronic display, a memory storing audio files for playback when the playback is triggered by a signal received from a pad, and one or more processors coupled to the electronic display and the memory. The processors are configured to play the audio files when the playback is triggered and display, on the display, a user interface for an application. The user interface for the application includes a list of available trigger sources. The processors are also configured to receive an instruction to select an available trigger source and display, on the display, a list of available drum kits to associate with the available trigger source. The processors are also configured to display images of the available drum kits in response to receiving an instruction to select an available drum kit.

Disclosed are a method for selecting background music and capturing a video, a device, a terminal apparatus, and a medium. The method includes: a music viewing instruction is acquired in a process of playing a video; a music detail corresponding to a background music fragment used by the video is displayed according to the music viewing instruction; a same-style capturing instruction is acquired, and a starting point of the background music fragment in a whole piece of music is acquired according to the same-style capturing instruction; a capturing instruction is acquired, and a video capturing is performed on a target scene according to the capturing instruction until a capturing stop instruction is acquired, and a corresponding video is acquired; and a corresponding music fragment is acquired, so the music fragment and the acquired video are synthesized to obtain a target video.

A singing scoring method and a singing scoring system based on streaming media are provided. In the singing scoring method and the singing scoring system, a first time difference between a moment at which a streaming video player starts to play a song and a moment at which an electronic device starts an audio recording program and a scoring engine is calculated. In addition, in the singing scoring method and the singing scoring system, a playing time difference of the streaming video player within every fixed period of a system time of the electronic device is continuously calculated, and the playing time difference is transferred to the scoring engine for accumulation to form a second time difference. The scoring engine then adjusts a singing time of each note in an entire musical score according to the first time difference and the second time difference.

An automated music composition and generation system provided with a system user interface enabling system users to review, select and provide one or more musical experience descriptors as well as time and/or space parameters, to an automated music composition and generation engine, operably connected to the system user interface. The automated music composition and generation engine includes a musical kernel generation subsystem for automatically analyzing and saving musical kernel elements automatically abstracted from the digital piece of music. The abstracted musical kernel elements distinguish the digital piece of music from any other digital piece of music automatically composed and generated by the automated music composition and generation system, and serve as a music kernel definition of the digital piece of composed music, which can be subsequently used during future automated music composition and generation processes, and in future music production environments, to replicate the digital piece of composed music at a later time, either with complete or incomplete accuracy, as required or desired by the system user.

A method and system for visualizing music using a perceptually conformal mapping system are provided. A music source file is input into a processor configured to carry out a series of steps on audio cues identified within the music and ultimately generate a simultaneous visual representation on a display device. The series of steps include application of one or more perceptually conformal mapping systems that essentially induce a synesthetic experience in which a person can experience music both acoustically and visually at the same time. The device extracts cues from the music that are designed to specifically capture fundamentals of human appreciation, maps them into visual cues, then presents those visual cues synchronized with the source music.

The present disclosure describes embodiments of a method, a device, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for presenting media information. The method includes displaying, by a device, an interaction interface. The device includes a memory storing instructions and a processor in communication with the memory. The method includes obtaining, by the device, an image set through the interaction interface, the image set comprising at least one image. The method includes obtaining, by the device, target media based on the image set through the interaction interface, the target media comprising a first audio generated according to an image feature of the image set. The method includes presenting, by the device, the target media.

Techniques have been developed to facilitate (1) the capture and pitch correction of vocal performances on handheld or other portable computing devices and (2) the mixing of such pitch-corrected vocal performances with backing tracks for audible rendering on targets that include such portable computing devices and as well as desktops, workstations, gaming stations, even telephony targets. Implementations of the described techniques employ signal processing techniques and allocations of system functionality that are suitable given the generally limited capabilities of such handheld or portable computing devices and that facilitate efficient encoding and communication of the pitch-corrected vocal performances (or precursors or derivatives thereof) via wireless and/or wired bandwidth-limited networks for rendering on portable computing devices or other targets.
