  • Patent number: 11264002
    Abstract: A method and system may provide for interactive song generation. In one aspect, a computer system may present options for selecting a background track. The computer system may generate suggested lyrics based on parameters entered by the user. User interface elements allow the computer system to receive input of lyrics. As the user inputs lyrics, the computer system may update its suggestions of lyrics based on the previously input lyrics. In addition, the computer system may generate proposed melodies to go with the lyrics and the background track. The user may select from among the melodies created for each portion of lyrics. The computer system may optionally generate a computer-synthesized vocal(s) or capture a vocal track of a human voice singing the song. The background track, lyrics, melodies, and vocals may be combined to produce a complete song without requiring musical training or experience by the user.

  • Publication number: 20180322854
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to automated songwriting. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology can include steps for training a melody prediction model for selecting melodies for lyrics using a corpus of songs, the melody prediction model including modeled melody features and corresponding modeled patterns of lyric features, receiving lyric input of lyrics including a pattern of lyric features from a user, applying the melody prediction model to the lyric input to automatically generate one or more melodies for the lyric input by matching the pattern of lyric features in the lyric input to a first subset of the modeled melody features using the corresponding modeled patterns of lyric features of the modeled melody features, and providing the one or more melodies to the user to generate a song using the lyrics.
