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.

A smart musical instrument system for replaying user performance with auto-play, electronic sound source or video, the system may include a musical instrument, a plurality of sensors, and a processing device. The plurality of sensors may be configured to obtain performance data of a user. The plurality of sensors may include a first sensor configured to obtain first performance data of the user. The performance data may include the first performance data indicating operations of a musical instrument. The processing device may be in communication with the plurality of sensors. The processing device may be configured to compare the performance data with reference music data to generate a comparison result and generate feedback based on the comparison result.

A system and a method of collectively producing music requires a set of user account that are managed by at least one remote server acting as a hub to exchange ideas and information about a music project. An originator of the music project is able to select other users to specifically collaborate on the music project. The originator and the collaborative users each need to have a user account. A communication platform provides the originator and the collaborative users with a medium to share constructive feedback in real-time about the music project. In addition, the originator and the collaborative users are provided with a set of digital tools that can be found in a modern audio workstation. This allows the originator and the collaborative users to share constructive feedback with each other and then to audibly edit the music project with any tool from the set of digital tools.

Techniques are described herein for generating a music fingerprint representative of a performance style of an individual. One or more characteristics associated with musical data are identified. A score to associated with each of the identified one or more characteristics is determined. The music fingerprint is generated based on the determine score for each of the identified one or more characteristics.

A system providing a music service platform includes a music controller device, a client device, and a server. The music controller device receives musical data indicative of a music performance by an individual and generates metadata characterizing the musical data. The client device includes a software application that receives the musical data and the metadata from the music controller device and presents a graphical user interface for display on the client device. The graphical user interface includes information related to the musical data and the metadata. The server receives the musical data and the metadata, generates one or more analytics associated with the musical data, and performs one or more data aggregation techniques on the musical data.

Techniques are described herein for tracking and analyzing musical activity (e.g., musical performances) captured by a music controller device. Data indicative of a musical performance by an individual is received. Metadata characterizing the musical data is generated. One or more analytics of the musical data is generated based, at least in part, on the metadata.

A server device includes a communication interface, a storage device, and a control device. The storage device stores a state history of an information processing terminal capable of outputting sound. The state history is acquired through the communication interface. The control device is configured to determine a music parameter based on the state history and transmit music generated based on the determined music parameter to the information processing terminal through the communication interface.

Exemplary embodiments relate to the application of media effects such as facial mask overlays, to visual data (such as a video or photo). Publicly-available images may be found and mapped to a mask. In the mapping process, a user may type in the name of a celebrity or public figure, and a system may perform a public image search. In some embodiments, candidate images may be filtered in order to remove images unsuitable for use in masks. Typically, only a single forward-facing image is required for mapping. However, multiple images may be used to provide different angles and allow the user to turn their head while the mask is applied. Mask generation may involve: extracting facial features from the image; mapping the facial features to the user's video; blending/recoloring of either or both of the image or the person's face; and applying the mask in real-time/on the fly.

An application for operating on a smart phone that records a musician's performance, either voice or instrumental, in combination with pre-recorded music. The combination allows for the auto tuning of the recording, the compression of the recording, the equalization of the recording, adding in reverb, and the audio quantization of the rhythm. Once combined, the song is transmitted to social media and/or to an online store for sale. The user can also make a video with the song. Additional marketing such as song competitions or music reviews and ratings are also provided.

The disclosure is directed to a system to create a musical compilation utilizing multiple tools on a single pane-of-glass (screen). The system may include a text display module that may display text. The system may include an interactive portion located adjacent to the text display module. The interactive portion may include a playback module configured to output musical notes upon a first action onto a playback module interaction area. The interactive portion may include a recording module configured to record sounds upon a first action on a recording module interaction area. The interactive area may include a drafting module configured to allow modification of the text upon a first action on the drafting module interaction area. The playback module interaction area may be located adjacent to the recording module interaction area and the drafting module interaction area.
