| 20100322042 | System and Method for Generating Musical Tracks Within a Continuously Looping Recording Session - An apparatus for creating a musical composition comprising an audio interface, an audio converter and a live looping recording session is disclosed. The audio interface operably receives audio from an input device and outputs audio to an audio output device. The audio converter module is operably connected to the audio interface to convert audio received via the audio interface into an audio track. The recording session module is configured to repeatedly playback a live loop that includes at least a portion of a first audio track, and to add at least a portion of a second audio track to the live loop during repeated playback. The first audio track may be a pre-existing track stored in a data storage medium. The recording session module may be configured to add at least a portion of a third audio track to the live loop during playback, which may be automatically generated based on one or more musical criteria of the first or second tracks. The apparatus may include a user interface coupled to the recording session module to provide a visual representation illustrating the portion of the live loop that is being played. The audio converter module may include a track partitioner to divide at least one of the first and second audio tracks into one or more partitions, a quantizer that aligns audio with a predetermined beat, and a frequency detector to identify the pitch of one or more sounds leading to their storage as a morphology. A method is also provided. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100319517 | System and Method for Generating a Musical Compilation Track from Multiple Takes - An apparatus for creating a musical composition comprising an audio interface, and audio converter module, and a multi-track compositor module is disclosed. The audio interface operably receives audio from an audio input device and outputting audio to an audio output device. The audio converter module is operably connected to the audio interface to convert audio received via the audio interface into an audio track having one or more partitions. The multi-track compositor module is configured to receive a first audio track and a second audio track and automatically score each partition of the first and second audio tracks based on one or more criteria. The multi-track compositor module is then configured to construct a third audio track from the partitions of the first and second audio tracks based on the scores for each partition. A method is also provided. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100307321 | System and Method for Producing a Harmonious Musical Accompaniment - An apparatus for enhancing audio comprising a first interface and a harmonizing module is disclosed. The first interface receive a first audio segment from a first source. The harmonizing module is coupled to the first interface. The harmonizing module is configured to identify at least one musical property of the first audio segment; calculate a subset of notes that are harmonious with the first audio segment based on the at least one musical property; and select from the subset of notes to generate an audio track to be played substantially synchronously with the first audio segment. A second interface may also be provided to receive a second audio segment from a second source. In this case, the harmonizing module may be configured to generate the audio track by transforming one or more notes of the second audio segment. A method is also provided. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100305732 | System and Method for Assisting a User to Create Musical Compositions - A system for assisting an end user to develop a musical composition comprising a data storage medium, a plurality of musical assets stored in the data storage medium, a user interface, and an audio converter module. Each of the plurality of musical assets are associated with a functional attribute and a visual attribute, where the visual attribute provides a visual suggestion to an end user regarding the functional attribute of the musical asset. The user interface is coupled to an audio interface, a display driver and a user input handler; and is capable of rendering a graphical display that enables the end user to select between one or more visual attributes. The audio converter module captures audio recorded by the end-user through the audio interface, processes the audio; and produces a multi-track musical compilation comprised of a plurality of audio tracks mixed together in a manner where the multiple tracks are substantially musically harmonious with one another. When the end-user selects one or more visual attributes via the user interface, the audio converter is also configured to identify the musical assets associated with the one or more selected visual attributes, and alter at least one portion of an audio track based on the functional attributes associated with the identified musical assets; wherein the audio track is one the plurality of audio tracks. | 12-02-2010 |
