  • Patent number: 9773483
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a method of performing automatic transcription of musical content included in an audio signal received by a computing device is provided. The method includes processing, using the computing device, the received audio signal to extract musical information characterizing at least a portion of the musical content and generating, using the computing device, a plurality of musical notations representing alternative musical interpretations of the extracted musical information. The method further includes applying a selected one of the plurality of musical notations for transcribing the musical content of the received audio signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9424859
    Abstract: A vocal effect processing system may include an effect modification module configured to selectively and dynamically apply effects to an input audio signal in accordance with a degree of likelihood that the input audio signal includes a vocal signal and/or based on a proximate location of a source of vocal audio with respect to a vocal microphone. Determination of the degree of likelihood that the input audio signal includes a vocal signal and/or the proximate location may be based on processing of the input audio signal or a plurality of input audio signals. Determination of the proximate location may alternatively, or in addition, be estimated based on a proximity sensor. The effect modification module may dynamically and selectively adjust the effects in response to changes in the degree of likelihood that the vocal signal is included in the input audio signal and/or changes in the estimated proximate location.
