The first output control unit is configured to receive, from a communication device that transmits a reproduction signal for acoustic data, the reproduction signal via the communication unit and to cause the output unit to output a sound based on the reproduction signal, to thereby perform reproduction of a series of sounds represented by the acoustic data. The second output control unit is configured to cause the output unit to output, as the image, a word corresponding to the sound outputted by the output unit among the series of sounds represented by the acoustic data. | 2017-10-19 |
20170301329 | SOCIAL MUSIC SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH CONTINUOUS, REAL-TIME PITCH CORRECTION OF VOCAL PERFORMANCE AND DRY VOCAL CAPTURE FOR SUBSEQUENT RE-RENDERING BASED ON SELECTIVELY APPLICABLE VOCAL EFFECT(S) SCHEDULE(S) - Vocal musical performances may be captured and, in some cases or embodiments, pitch-corrected and/or processed in accord with a user selectable vocal effects schedule for mixing and rendering with backing tracks in ways that create compelling user experiences. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured on mobile devices in the context of a karaoke-style presentation of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Such performances can be pitch-corrected in real-time at the mobile device in accord with pitch correction settings. Vocal effects schedules may also be selectively applied to such performances. In these ways, even amateur user/performers with imperfect pitch are encouraged to take a shot at “stardom” and/or take part in a game play, social network or vocal achievement application architecture that facilitates musical collaboration on a global scale and/or, in some cases or embodiments, to initiate revenue generating in-application transactions. | 2017-10-19 |
20170301330 | AUTOMATIC MULTI-CHANNEL MUSIC MIX FROM MULTIPLE AUDIO STEMS - There are disclosed automatic mixers and methods for creating a surround audio mix. A set of rules may be stored in a rule base. A rule engine may select a subset of the set of rules based, at least in part, on metadata associated with a plurality of stems. A mixing matrix may mix the plurality of stems in accordance with the selected subset of rules to provide three or more output channels. | 2017-10-19 |
20170301331 | FRET SCANNERS AND PICKUPS FOR STRINGED INSTRUMENTS - Techniques are described that relate to various aspects of converting the mechanical energy of instrument strings to digital representations for use in a variety of applications. | 2017-10-19 |
20170301332 | OMNIDIRECTIONAL ANTENNA - An omnidirectional antenna to equip a sonar, the antenna centered around a longitudinal axis and comprises an assembly of emission rings stacked along the longitudinal axis, each emission ring formed around the longitudinal axis. The emission rings are assembled in groups of ring, the antenna comprises at least two groups of rings and each group of rings comprises at least two rings, the inter-ring spacings between the rings of one and the same group and the inter-group spacings between two successive groups of rings chosen so as to optimize the emission bandwidth and the sound level. | 2017-10-19 |
