An electronic switch for the upgrade of an electric stringed instrument for enhancing the musical or artistic performance of a user. The electronic switch has two parts. The first part consisting of a printed circuit board with terminals for wire connections. On the printed circuit board are solid state relays and other electronic components. They are electronically controlled by the second part that is an external user-controlled switch. The switch is an LED touch capacitance switch, also referred as but not limited to, a capacitance touch switch, or touch key. The capacitance touch switch has an LED light that changes colors from either a blue or green to red, but not limited to, indicating when the electronic switch is activated. When the LED touch capacitance switch activates the electronic switch board, the electronic switch board reroutes multiple signals that are attached to its terminal connectors. The electronic switch allows the user to route multiple signals at once with one touch of the LED touch capacitance switch. The LED touch capacitance switch consisting of an LED light that changes colors from either a blue or green to red, but not limited to, when touched allows the user to know the status of the electronic switch. Both parts of the electronic switch obtain power from some type of battery or super capacitor power source, but not limited to.

An electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device, the method including receiving an input of a command to reproduce music contents, determining audio characteristics information on the music contents and situation information on an environment where the music contents are being reproduced; and displaying a visualization effect of visualizing the music contents using the audio characteristics information and the situation information, and reproducing the music contents.

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating color sets based on musical concepts of pitch intervals and harmony. Color sets are derived via a music-to-hue process which analyzes musical pitch data associated with musical input to determine pitch intervals included in the music. Pitch interval angles associated with the pitch intervals are applied to a tuned hue index to identify hue note ordered within the index which are separated by a hue interval angle similar to the pitch angle associated with the analyzed pitch data. The systems and methods provide for the creation of color sets which are analogous to musical chords in that they include multiple hue notes selected based on hue interval angles derived from musical interval angles associated with the received musical input.

Included are: an acquisition unit (13b) configured to acquire identification information and a time-series feature regarding a signal indicating a tactile sensation, the identification information and the time-series feature being visually expressed; and a generation unit (13c) configured to generate a control signal for a tactile-sense presentation device (100) on the basis of the above identification information and the above time-series feature acquired by the acquisition unit (13b).

An electronic musical instrument includes an input device that receives an input operation, a display, and a processor. The processor performs a first process upon duration of a detected continuation of the input operation being a reference time or longer. The processor performs a second process upon duration of a detected continuation of the input operation being less than the reference time. The processor causes the display to display a content from which it is determinable whether or not duration of a detected continuation of the input operation being the reference time or longer.

A digital tuner that determines a tuning target period; receives an audio signal from an instrument to be tuned; obtains a plurality of different segments of the audio signal starting at times that correspond to integer multiples of the target period; produces waveform samples from the segments; and displays of a succession of waveform segments at same display position using said segments so that the shape of the waveform appears to move on the display at a speed and direction directly dependent on a difference of a wave period of the audio signal to be tuned and the tuning target period.

Digital signal processing and machine learning techniques can be employed in a vocal capture and performance social network to computationally generate vocal pitch tracks from a collection of vocal performances captured against a common temporal baseline such as a backing track or an original performance by a popularizing artist. In this way, crowd-sourced pitch tracks may be generated and distributed for use in subsequent karaoke-style vocal audio captures or other applications. Large numbers of performances of a song can be used to generate a pitch track. Computationally determined pitch trackings from individual audio signal encodings of the crowd-sourced vocal performance set are aggregated and processed as an observation sequence of a trained Hidden Markov Model (HMM) or other statistical model to produce an output pitch track.
