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 sound generation device includes: at least one memory storing instructions; and at least one processor that executes the instructions to: output an output sound signal representing a performance based on performance data including a plurality of tracks each including at least one sound signal including an attribute; designate attribute information of the attribute of at least one of the at least one sound signal of at least one of the plurality of tracks as a search target; and search for a sound signal including the designated attribute information from the performance data. The performance in the output sound signal includes, omits, or changes the searched sound signal.

The disclosure provides a server, a musical instrument, a server communication method, and a communication method. The server is connected to a terminal and a musical instrument and comprises a processor, wherein the processor is configured to receive an instruction from the terminal, create a timbre data or a data request destination, and transmit the timbre data or the data request destination to the musical instrument.

Systems and methods for re-arranging a musical composition using augmented reality are disclosed. A user can be provided with one or more physical image markers representative of at least one of a musical entity and a musical style in which a musical track has been pre-recorded. Upon capturing a visual scene in which one or more of these physical image markers are included, an augmented reality version of the visual scene is displayed along with audio corresponding to the musical style(s) and/or entities represented by the one or more physical image markers.
