  • Patent number: 10529310
    Abstract: A method for converting textual messages to musical messages comprising receiving a text input and receiving a musical input selection. The method includes analyzing the text input to determine text characteristics and analyzing a musical input corresponding to the musical input selection to determine musical characteristics. Based on the text characteristic and the musical characteristic, the method includes correlating the text input with the musical input to generate a synthesizer input, and sending the synthesizer input to a voice synthesizer. The method includes receiving a vocal rendering of the text input from the voice synthesizer and generating a musical message from the vocal rendering and the musical input. The method includes generating a video element based on a video input, incorporating the video element into the musical message, and outputting the musical message including the video element.

  • Publication number: 20190147838
    Abstract: A method for generating multimedia output. The method comprises receiving a text input and receiving an animated character input corresponding to an animated character including at least one movement characteristic. The method includes analyzing the text input to determine at least one text characteristic of the text input. The method includes generating a viseme timeline by applying at least one viseme characteristic to each of the at least one text characteristic. Based on the viseme timeline, the method includes generating a multimedia output coordinating the at least one character movement of the animated character with the at least one viseme characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20180268792
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for automatically generating musical works including receiving a lyrical input and receiving a musical input. The method includes analyzing the lyrical input to determine at least one lyrical characteristic and analyzing the musical input to determine at least one musical characteristic. Based on the at least one lyrical characteristic, the method includes correlating the lyrical input with the musical input to generate a synthesizer input. The method includes sending the synthesizer input and the at least one voice characteristic to a voice synthesizer. The method may also include receiving, from the voice synthesizer, a vocal rendering of the lyrical input. The method includes receiving a singer selection corresponding to at least one voice characteristic, and generating a musical work from the vocal rendering based on the lyrical input, the musical input, and the at least one voice characteristic.

  • Patent number: 9251776
    Abstract: A system and method of creating harmonizing tracks for an audio input. Audio input is received and a plurality of harmonizing tracks are created based on the received audio input. Each of the plurality of harmonizing tracks are transposed based on a transposition value for each respective track. Individual notes of the harmonizing tracks are manipulated based on a chord strictness threshold and an audio output is provided based on the audio input and the manipulated plurality of harmonizing tracks.

  • Patent number: 9177540
    Abstract: A system and method for conforming an audio input to a musical key. Audio input is received and the musical key is determined. Sequentially for each consecutive note, a pitch value for each note and an interval between each preceding and subsequent note is determined; alternative subsequent notes based on the musical key and the pitch value of the subsequent note are determined; each interval between each alternative subsequent note and each respective note of the alternative subsequent notes corresponding to the preceding note is scored based on the interval between the preceding note and the subsequent note of the audio input; and a best interval is selected for each alternative subsequent note. A best-match note is selected for each note of the audio input based on the best intervals of all the notes, and each audio input note is conformed to a frequency of the best-match note.
