A reproduction control method, which is executed by a computer, includes determining, based on an image showing an object, whether a type of the object is a first type or a second type that is different from the first type, and reproducing a sound, triggered by a striking of an operation surface by the object, based on a result of the determining.

A musical instrument system includes a sound element medium including a plurality of sound-element information areas each having sound element information on a sound element, a reader configured to read the sound element information, a generator configured to generate musical sound information based on the read sound element information, and an audio unit configured to produce a sound based on the generated musical sound information, each of the sound-element information areas having a display corresponding to the sound element information, and the sound element information relating to both or one of pitch and tone.

An electronic musical instrument includes at least one function operator associated with at least one process, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor executes the followings, deciding that musical performance is being performed or not in response to an operation to the at least one function operator, in response to deciding that the musical performance is being performed, executing the at least one process associated with the at least one function operator, and in response to deciding that the musical performance is not being performed, not executing the process associated with the at least one function operator, despite being operated to the at least one function operator.

An audio processing method, for each time step of a plurality of time steps on a time axis: acquires encoded data that reflects current musical features of a tune for a current time step and musical features of the tune for succeeding time steps succeeding the current time step; acquires control data according to a real-time instruction provided by a user; and generates acoustic feature data representative of acoustic features of a synthesis sound in accordance with first input data including the acquired encoded data and the acquired control data.

A virtual instrument can manage separate static and dynamic samples for various notes that can be played by the virtual instrument. In some cases, the static samples correspond to resonance sounds recorded for an instrument and are the same for every note. However, the dynamic samples may correspond to isolated sounds that are recorded for each variation of a note that can be played. In response to a user's selection of a note on a user interface of the virtual instrument, the virtual instrument may determine a rule for layering the various static and dynamic samples for playback.

The disclosure provides a method for synthesizing a song multimedia, an electronic device and a storage medium. Material obtaining modes are provided based on a song multimedia synthesis request. User audios provided by a user are obtained based on a selected material obtaining mode. A user timbre output by a timbre extraction model is obtained by inputting the user audios into the timbre extraction model. Lyrics to be synthesized and a tune to be synthesized provided by the user are obtained based on the selected material obtaining mode, and a synthesized song multimedia is obtained by inputting the user timbre, the lyrics to be synthesized and the tune to be synthesized into a song synthesis model.

A computer-implemented sound signal synthesis method includes: generating, based on first control data representative of a plurality of conditions of a sound signal to be generated, (i) first data representative of a sound source spectrum of the sound signal, and (ii) second data representative of a spectral envelope of the sound signal; and synthesizing the sound signal based on the sound source spectrum indicated by the first data and the spectral envelope indicated by the second data.

A sound synthesizing method according to one aspect of the present disclosure relates to a sound synthesizing method that is realized by a computer, including receiving musical score data and acoustic data via a user interface; and generating, based on respective one of the musical score data and the acoustic data, acoustic features of a sound waveform having a desired timbre.

A musical tone generating device includes: a nonvolatile storage device that stores musical tone waveform data; a volatile storage device; and a control means that, when a power supply is turned on, performs control to transfer musical tone waveform data to the volatile storage device from the nonvolatile storage device, in the case where an instruction to reproduce a musical tone is given, the control means to read musical tone waveform data from the volatile storage device, and in the case where an error in the read musical tone waveform data is detected, the control means to perform control to overwrite musical tone waveform data obtained by correcting the musical tone waveform data including the detected error to the volatile storage device or transfer normal musical tone waveform data corresponding to the musical tone waveform data including the detected error to the volatile storage device from the nonvolatile storage device.

A sound signal synthesis method includes inputting control data representing conditions of a sound signal into a neural network, and thereby estimating first data representing a deterministic component of the sound signal and second data representing a stochastic component of the sound signal, and combining the deterministic component represented by the first data and the stochastic component represented by the second data, and thereby generating the sound signal. The neural network has learned a relationship between control data that represents conditions of a sound signal of a reference signal, a deterministic component of the sound signal of the reference signal, and a stochastic component of the sound signal of the reference signal.
