A computer-implemented method for identifying a song includes: providing audio data including musical notation information for songs, receiving a real-time audio signal of a user performing on an instrument, detecting playing activity in successive segments, detecting notes and/or chords from the audio signal, storing user play history information including of information of songs a user has played before and number of plays, based on the play history information calculating a first probability for a song, based on first probabilities for a number of songs and based on the detected playing activity and the detected notes and/or chords, estimating the song being performed. The estimation includes calculating a second probability for different songs. The second probabilities are defined by the audio signal corresponding with a particular song of the play history combined with first probability associated with the song, and providing the song the user is performing or related information.

Method for identifying a song

Indicating what should be played in a piece of music with a music document, including: displaying a part of the music document when a user plays the piece; receiving a real-time audio signal of the playing; automatically determining a playing position within the piece of music based on the real-time audio signal; automatically scrolling the music document on a display depending on the playing position; estimating at least the following from the real-time audio signal: activity; tonality; and tempo used in automatically determining the playing position determined from playing speed of the user. The estimating of the activity includes detecting whether the user is producing any sounding notes. The estimating of the tonality is based on an array of chord models that represent different chords that appear in the music document and allow calculating the probability that the corresponding chord is being played in various real-time audio signal segments.

User interface for displaying written music during performance

A digital tuner that determines a tuning target period; receives an audio signal from an instrument to be tuned; obtains a plurality of different segments of the audio signal starting at times that correspond to integer multiples of the target period; produces waveform samples from the segments; and displays of a succession of waveform segments at same display position using said segments so that the shape of the waveform appears to move on the display at a speed and direction directly dependent on a difference of a wave period of the audio signal to be tuned and the tuning target period.

Musical instrument tuning

Real-time jamming is automatically assisted for musicians. A real-time audio signal is received of played music that is played by at least one person. Beat is tracked of the played music from the real-time audio signal and accordingly a time of a next beat is predicted. At least one of chords; notes; and drum sounds is recognized from the real-time audio signal and repetitions in the played music are accordingly detected. A next development is predicted in the played music, based on the detected repetitions, including at least one of chords; notes; and drum sounds that will be played next, and respective timing based on the predicted time of the next beat. A real-time output is produced based on the predicted next development in the played music.

Real-time jamming assistance for groups of musicians

A computer implemented method for providing feedback of harmonic content relating to a music track, includes receiving music track information; generating harmonic music track parameters based on the received music track information; displaying notation information for a user for performing the music track at a given time for the music track based on the harmonic music track parameters; receiving harmonic user content generated by an instrument performed by the user, using at least one capturing device; generating real-time performance feedback for the user based on comparison of the harmonic user content and the harmonic music track parameters according to predefined settings; receiving reference harmonic user content from a plurality of reference users over a public network; adjusting, based on the reference harmonic user content, at least one of the following: the predefined settings; and the harmonic music track parameters.

Providing real-time interaction between a first player and a second player to collaborate for a musical performance over a network, includes maintaining a reference data item generated using a musical instrument performed by a user; receiving first user input data generated using a first musical instrument, the received first user input data associated with the first musical instrument and the musical performance; receiving second user input data generated using a second musical instrument, the received second user input data associated with the second musical instrument and the musical performance; detecting a missing data packet within the received second user input data when generating real-time collaboration data for the musical performance; replacing the missing data packet using the reference data item to correct the second user input data; and generating real-time collaboration data for the musical performance based on the corrected second user input data.

A system for providing a user a virtual exercise in playing a music instrument relative to the user's skill characteristics includes: a processing entity and a memory entity for processing and storing data, respectively to execute the system functions, and a data transfer entity for receiving and transmitting data, the system configured to: obtain musical notation data, analyze it to assign the musical piece to which such data pertains a number of difficulty characteristics with scalar values, provide the user with a number of musical pieces, with known difficulty characteristics, as virtual exercises to be completed by playing an instrument, obtain user performance data of completed virtual exercises, analyze the user performance data to determine and assign the user with a number of skill characteristics values in accordance with the difficulty characteristic values of the completed musical pieces, and determine a musical piece for the user as a virtual exercise.
