An automated music composition and generation process within an automated music composition and generation system driven by lyrics. The process involves the system user accessing said automated music composition and generation system, employing an automated music composition and generation engine having a system user interface. The system user interface is used to provide lyrics to the automated music composition and generation engine for processing by the automated music composition and generation engine. The system user initiates the automated music composition and generation engine to compose and generate music based on lyrics the provided as input. The lyrics are analyzed for vowel formants to generate pitch events, which are used to support the automated music composition process.

The present disclosure provides a generation device having a plurality of operators that receive a user operation that causes generation of a sound. The generation device includes: at least one first operator arranged in a first region and configured to receive a first user operation that causes generation of a rhythm sound signal; at least one second operator arranged in a second region and configured to receive a second user operation that causes generation of a melody sound signal; and at least one third operator arranged in a third region and configured to receive a third user operation that causes a sound effect to be applied to a synthesized sound signal of the generated rhythm sound signal and the generated melody sound signal. The first region, the second region, and the third region are different regions of the generation device from each other.

An automated music composition and generation system for automatically composing and generating digital pieces of music using an automated music composition and generation engine driven by a set of emotion-type and style-type musical experience descriptors and time and/or space parameters provided by a system user. The automated music composition and generation engine includes an instrument subsystem supporting a library of virtual instruments, wherein each virtual instrument is capable of performing one or more notes of at least a portion of the composed piece of music, in response to the emotion-type and/or style-type musical experience descriptors; an instrument selector subsystem for automatically selecting one or more of virtual instruments from the library, so that each selected virtual instrument performs one or more notes of at least a portion of the composed piece of music; and a digital piece creation subsystem for creating the digital piece of composed music by assembling the notes produced from the virtual instruments selected from the library.

An automated music composition and generation system having an automated music composition and generation engine for receiving, storing and processing musical experience descriptors and time and/or space parameters selected by the system user. The automated music composition and generation engine includes a user taste generation subsystem for automatically (i) determining the musical tastes and preferences of a system user based on user feedback and autonomous piece analysis, (ii) maintaining a system user profile reflecting musical tastes and preferences of each system user, and (iii) using the musical taste and preference information to change or modify the musical experience descriptors provided to the system to produce a digital piece of composed music composition that better reflects the musical tastes and preferences of the system user.

An automatic musical performance device includes: a storage part, storing musical performance patterns; a musical performance part, performing musical performance on the basis of the musical performance patterns stored in the storage part; an input part, to which musical performance information is input a setting part, setting a mode as to whether to switch the musical performance; a selection part, selecting a musical performance pattern estimated to have a maximum likelihood among the musical performance patterns stored in the storage part on the basis of the musical performance information input to the input part when a mode of switching the musical performance by the musical performance part is set by the setting part; and a switching part, switching at least one musical expression of the musical performance pattern played by the musical performance part to a musical expression of the musical performance pattern selected by the selection part.

There are provided an electronic musical apparatus, a storage medium storing a recording/reproduction program, and a recording/reproduction method capable of outputting a musical sound phrase and a rhythm phrase after the input musical sound phrase is output. In a case where a recording button is operated, a looper starts to record musical sounds. In this case, the musical sounds (that is, a musical sound phrase) that are being recorded are output from a speaker. Thereafter, in a case where a loop reproduction button is operated, the recording is stopped, and loop reproduction of the recorded musical sound phrase and a rhythm phrase is started. Consequently, it is possible to output musical sounds in which the musical sound phrase and the rhythm phrase are loop-reproduced after the input musical sound phrase is output.

A method for processing a voice signal by an electronic system to create a song is disclosed. The method comprises the steps in the electronic system of acquiring an input singing voice recording (11); estimating a musical key (15b) and a Tempo (15a) from the singing voice recording (11); defining a tuning control (16) and a timing control (17) able to align the singing voice recording (11) with the estimated musical key (15b) and Tempo (15a); applying the tuning control (16) and the timing control (17) to the singing voice recording (11) so that an aligned voice recording (20) is obtained. Next, the method comprises the step of generating an music accompaniment (23) as function of the estimated musical key (15b) and Tempo (15a) and an arrangement database (22) and mixing the aligned voice recording (20) and the music accompaniment (23) to obtain the song (12). A system a server and a device are also disclosed.

An autonomous music composition and performance system employing an automated music composition and generation engine configured to receive musical signals from a set of a real or synthetic musical instruments being played by a group of human musicians. The system buffers and analyzes musical signals from the set of real or synthetic musical instruments, composes and generates music in real-time that augments the music being played by the band of musicians, and/or composes and generates music for subsequent playback, review and consideration by the human musicians.

An automated music composition and generation system includes a graphical user interface (GUI) based system user interface for enabling system users to review and select one or more musical experience descriptors as well as time and/or space parameters; and an automated music composition and generation engine, operably connected to the GUI-based system user interface, for receiving, storing and processing the musical experience descriptors and time and/or space parameters, and composing and generating digital pieces of music, each containing a set of musical notes arranged and performed in the digital piece of composed music. A system network and methods are provided for designing and developing parameter mapping configurations (SMCs) used in the automated music composition and generation engine so as to enable the automated music composition and generation engine to automatically compose and generate music in response to musical experience descriptors and time and/or space parameters provided as input to the system.
