The present invention relates to a computer implemented system and method for generating an audio output file. The method including using one or more processors to perform steps of: receiving audio tracks, each audio track created according to audio parameters; separating each audio track into at least one selectable audio block, each audio block including audio content from a musical instrument involved in creating the audio track; assigning a unique identifier to each audio block; using the unique identifiers to select audio blocks, and generating the audio output by combining the audio blocks. The present invention prevents the use of the same combination of audio blocks in the generation of audio output to ensure that the audio output files generated a sufficiently unique. Also provided are audio file recording, editing and mixing modules enabling a user to have full creative control over mix and other parameters to modify as desired the audio file generated.

A method for outputting a sound in an electronic device is provided. The method includes generating a loop module corresponding to a loop element; displaying the generated loop module; and outputting a sound included in the displayed loop module.

Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for playing audio sounds, such as music, on a portable electronic device using a digital color image of a note matrix on a map. A computer vision engine, in an example implementation, includes a mapping module, a color detection module, and a music playback module. The camera captures a color image of the map, including a marker and a note matrix. Based on the color image, the computer vision engine detects a token color value associated with each field. Each token color value is associated with a sound sample from a specific musical instrument. A global state map is stored in memory, including the token color value and location of each field in the note matrix. The music playback module, for each column, in order, plays the notes associated with one or more the rows, using the corresponding sound sample, according to the global state map.

A system is provided for editing an audio file. The system displays, on an electronic device, a piano roll. The system receives a user input to cut a segment of the piano roll. The segment of the piano roll includes a respective tone that extends across both sides of the segment of the piano roll, such that the respective tone includes: a first portion of the respective tone that precedes the segment of the piano roll; and a second portion of the respective tone that follows the segment of the piano roll. In response to the user input to cut the segment of the piano roll, the system cuts the segment from the piano roll and, without user intervention, concatenate the first portion of the respective tone with the second portion of the respective tone.

A system and method for synchronizing an audio or MIDI file with a video file are provided. The method includes receiving a first audio or MIDI file, receiving a video file, and operating an audio synchronization module to perform steps of synchronizing the first audio or MIDI file with the video file, marking an event in the video file at a point on a timeline, detecting a first musical key for the event, retrieving a musical stinger or swell from a library, in which the musical stinger or swell is a second audio or MIDI file and is tagged with a second musical key, and the second musical key is relevant to the first musical key, and placing the musical stinger or swell at the point of the timeline marked for the event.

A method for generating visual enhancement of areas of interest in images includes receiving data representing a plurality of images in a sequence of images; analyzing the plurality images to identify respective three dimensional (3D) locations of one or more areas of interest in the plurality of images; visually enhancing the one or more of the identified areas of interest in the plurality of the images in the sequence of images; and communicating the visually enhanced image data to a display device to be displayed.

A data generation device includes: an acquisition part configured to acquire measurement data that corresponds to measurement values, obtained in chronological order, corresponding to a behavior of a key or a member coordinating with the key for each of a plurality of keys; and a data generation part configured to generate display data for displaying a screen showing the measurement values corresponding to each of the plurality of keys along a time axis based on the acquired measurement data.

Systems and methods for selecting an audio track by performing a gesture on a track-list image are provided. The system includes a processor that performs a method including displaying the audio-track list, detecting a contact with the touchscreen display at a location corresponding to the audio track, detecting a continuous movement of the contact in a direction, detecting a length of the continuous movement, and selecting the audio track if the continuous movement has a length longer than a threshold length. The method includes shifting text associated with the audio track based on the length and direction of the continuous movement. The method includes determining that the selection is a command to queue the audio track for playback or add it to a preparation track list. This determination may be based on the direction of the continuous movement.

An input support method is provided for use in an input support apparatus that supports input of a music note. The method includes: controlling a display unit to display a pitch-time plane that includes a pitch-axis and a time-axis, a chord sequence that is associated with the time-axis of the pitch-time plane, and a pointer that indicates a position on the time-axis along the chord sequence; identifying constituent music notes that form a chord corresponding to a display position of the pointer along the chord sequence; and controlling the display unit to display areas on the pitch-time plane, each displayed area indicating a corresponding one of the identified constituent music notes, differently from other areas on the pitch-time plane.

In at least one embodiment, a method of performing automatic transcription of musical content included in an audio signal received by a computing device is provided. The method includes processing, using the computing device, the received audio signal to extract musical information characterizing at least a portion of the musical content and generating, using the computing device, a plurality of musical notations representing alternative musical interpretations of the extracted musical information. The method further includes applying a selected one of the plurality of musical notations for transcribing the musical content of the received audio signal.
