Systems and methods for onboard, real-time pickup blending for electric guitars/basses may utilize every possible tonal combination that double coil pickups can offer. The industry standard pickup toggle switch may be removed from electric guitar/bass instruments. Instead of a user being limited to only using one pickup at a time to be selected, the user may mix in any combination of the pickups (top, bottom, or both) at any time. Accordingly, multiple pickups can be on at the same time and/or the user may blend in (or out) any percentage of any of the pickups that the user wishes to create a large combination of tones.

The present invention relates to a method for processing and playing audio data comprising the steps of receiving mixed input data and playing recombined output data. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device 10 for processing and playing audio data, preferably DJ equipment, comprising an audio input unit for receiving a mixed input signal, a recombination unit 32 and a playing unit 34 for playing recombined output data. In addition, the present invention relates to a method and a device for representing audio data, i.e. on a display.

A system, method and computer product for combining audio tracks. In one example embodiment herein, the method comprises determining at least one music track that is musically compatible with a base music track, aligning those tracks in time, and combining the tracks. In one example embodiment herein, the tracks may be music tracks of different songs, the base music track can be an instrumental accompaniment track, and the at least one music track can be a vocal track. Also in one example embodiment herein, the determining is based on musical characteristics associated with at least one of the tracks, such as an acoustic feature vector distance between tracks, a likelihood of at least one track including a vocal component, a tempo, or musical key. Also, determining of musical compatibility can include determining at least one of a vertical musical compatibility or a horizontal musical compatibility among tracks.

The present invention provides a method for processing audio data, comprising the steps of providing input audio data containing a mixture of audio data including first audio data of a first musical timbre and second audio data of a second musical timbre different from said first musical timbre, decomposing the input audio data to provide decomposed data representative of the first audio data, transforming the decomposed data to obtain third audio data.

An electronic keyboard musical instrument with a plurality of keys is provided. The electronic keyboard musical instrument comprises a detection sensor configured to detect a gentle key press to an adjacent position that is shallower than and adjacent to a resonant performance position; a computer configured to, when the detection sensor detects a gentle key press to the adjacent position of at least one first key, execute a resonance permission process to give a permission to output a resonant tone of the at least one first key; and a tone emission device configured to, when at least one second key different from the at least one first key and having a resonant relationship with the at least one first key is regularly pressed, emit a regular tone of the at least one second key and the resonant tone of the at least one first key.
