A method generates a sound signal in accordance with score data representative of respective durations of a plurality of notes and a shortening indication to shorten a duration of a specific note. The method includes generating a shortening rate, generating a series of control data, and generating a sound signal. The shortening rate is representative of an amount of shortening of the duration of the specific note, and is generated, by inputting, to a first estimation model, condition data representative of a sounding condition specified by score data for the specific note. Each of the series of control data is representative of a control condition of the sound signal corresponding to the score data, and the series of control data reflects a shortened duration of the specific note shortened in accordance with the generated shortening rate. The sound signal is generated in accordance with the series of control data.

An electronic musical instrument includes: a memory that stores lyric data including lyrics for a plurality of timings, pitch data including pitches for said plurality of timings, and a trained model that has been trained and learned singing voice features of a singer; and at least one processor, wherein at each of said plurality of timings, the at least one processor: if the operation unit is not operated, obtains, from the trained model, a singing voice feature associated with a lyric indicated by the lyric data and a pitch indicated by the pitch data; if the operation unit is operated, obtains, from the trained model, a singing voice feature associated with the lyric indicated by the lyric data and a pitch indicated by the operation of the operation unit; and synthesizes and outputs singing voice data based on the obtained singing voice feature of the singer.

Techniques are disclosed relating to generating music content. In one embodiment, a method includes determining one or more musical attributes based on external data and generating music content based on the one or more musical attributes. Generating the music content may include selecting from stored sound loops or tracks and/or generating new tracks based on the musical attributes. Selected or generated sound loops or tracks may be layered to generate the music content. Musical attributes may be determined in some embodiments based on user input (e.g., indicating a desired energy level), environment information, and/or user behavior information. Artists may upload tracks, in some embodiments, and be compensated based on usage of their tracks in generating music content. In some embodiments, a method includes generating sound and/or light control information based on the musical attributes.

A musical sound signal generation device continuously connects any one of a connected zeroth delay unit and a connected second delay unit to a fractional delay block and connects at least any one of a new zeroth delay unit and a new second delay unit to at least any one of the fractional delay block other than the fractional delay block connected to a new first delay unit in response to setting any one of the connected zeroth delay unit and the connected second delay unit as the new first delay unit, setting a delay unit in a preceding stage of the new first delay unit as the new zeroth delay unit, and setting a delay unit in a subsequent stage of the new first delay unit as the new second delay unit in accordance with a change in a designated tone pitch.

A signal generation method implemented by a computer system includes: generating an audio signal in response to a manipulation of each of a first key and a second key; and controlling generation of the audio signal based on a reference point that is a position of the first key at a time point of a manipulation of the second key, based on the second key being manipulated during a manipulation of the first key.

Some audio processing methods may involve receiving audio data corresponding to a plurality of audio channels and determining audio characteristics of the audio data, which may include transient information. An amount of decorrelation for the audio data may be based, at least in part, on the audio characteristics. If a definite transient event is determined, a decorrelation process may be temporarily halted or slowed. Determining transient information may involve evaluating the likelihood and/or the severity of a transient event. In some implementations, determining transient information may involve evaluating a temporal power variation in the audio data. Explicit transient information may or may not be received with the audio data, depending on the implementation. Explicit transient information may include a transient control value corresponding to a definite transient event, a definite non-transient event or an intermediate transient control value.
