  • Patent number: 9449083
    Abstract: A user inputs, as a query pattern, a desired search-object rhythm pattern using a control, corresponding to a desired one of a plurality of performance parts constituting a performance data set (automatic accompaniment data set), in a rhythm input device. An input rhythm pattern storage section stores the input rhythm pattern (query pattern) into a RAM on the basis of a clock signal output from a bar line clock output section and input trigger data. A part identification section identifies a search-object performance part corresponding to the user-operated control. For the identified performance part, a rhythm pattern search section searches an automatic accompaniment database for an automatic accompaniment data set including a rhythm pattern that matches, i.e. has the highest similarity to, the input rhythm pattern (query pattern).

  • Patent number: 9412113
    Abstract: A user inputs, as a query pattern, a desired search-object rhythm pattern by operating a rhythm input device. At that time, a determination is made of a style of operation performed by a user on a rhythm input device, such as whether the user has operated a single key or a plurality of keys, or duration or intensity of the operation, and then, a user-intended performance part is identified, on the basis of the determined style of operation, from among one or more performance parts constituting a performance data set (automatic accompaniment data set). For the thus-identified performance part, a rhythm pattern search section searches an automatic accompaniment database for an automatic accompaniment data set including a rhythm pattern that matches the input rhythm pattern (query pattern).

  • Patent number: 9378719
    Abstract: When a music audio to be analyzed is to be divided into a plurality of possible pattern segments based on estimated beat positions, it is divided in a plurality of different ways according to individual division models obtained by sequentially shifting the leading or first beat position of the possible pattern segments. Such division can provide plural sets of possible pattern segments with each of the sets corresponding to one of the division models. For each of the sets, comparison is made between individual possible pattern segments and individual reference performance patterns. For each of the possible pattern segments of the set, at least one reference performance pattern that matches the possible pattern segment is determined. Then, at least one combination of reference performance patterns is identified for each of the sets of possible pattern segments. One optimal combination is selected from among the identified combinations.
