Description

      The present invention relates to a music selection device suitable for sensibly selecting music by color expression.

      The selection of music is often performed using a management number such as a song name or Keffel number, particularly in classical music. However, in this method, the auditory image of the song must be stored in association with the song title and management number. Also, if you want to select a song you haven't listened to yet, especially if you can't read the score, you don't know what to do. If it is a popular song, the lyrics can be displayed on the display screen, but not so in classical music or jazz.

Therefore, in order to select music that is optimal for each individual, a data determination unit that determines music data that matches a keyword and generates a playlist to be used for keyword playback is provided. Based on the music data stored in the data storage unit or the music data stored on the optical disc, music data matching the keyword set by the user is detected, and a playlist of matched music data is generated. An apparatus for reproducing music data based on the reproduction list has been proposed (Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-326840 A

      In the music selection method as in Patent Document 1, the search keyword may not come to mind. I also want to listen to songs that I have never heard. In such a case, I want to select a song with the image of the song, rather than selecting it in the dark clouds.

      For example, there is a method of expressing the color of the music as a method of expressing the image of the music. In this case, not only the sound of the score itself but also the reverberation of the overtone whose main sound is the sound that can be heard by professional musicians can be expressed. Furthermore, I would like to select music while feeling the depth and familiarity with the color expression in an arrangement that gradually changes the tone of the scale, such as visible light colors arranged in order of wavelength.

      In addition, not only the main melody but also accompaniment and orchestra songs. In addition to expressing these various sounds in various colors, the intensity of sounds such as piano and forte is also expressed, and the selection of music does not end as a mere selection of music, but reaches the artistic range of selecting songs while appreciating the color expression. I want to select songs in the same state.

      In addition, there are times when you want to select and play a specific part called the main theme part or the wabi / sabi part of the selected music. Furthermore, I think it would be great if you can enjoy the selected music while playing it as a video that flows on the screen where the reproduced music is expressed in color.

      In order to solve the above-described problems, the music selection device of the present invention arranges musical scale sounds in a ring shape in the order in which the adjacent sound has a pitch of 5 degrees, and the visible light color corresponds to the annular arrangement of the musical scale sounds. And a tone color conversion means for performing a corresponding conversion between the scale sound and the visible light color, and each sound of the scale sound is composed of a main sound that is the sound itself and a harmonic of the main sound, and the main sound and The color of the overtone is a color note creating means for expressing the color as a color note colored by the sound color conversion means, and the color note on the color score table for arranging the color notes based on the score information of the music to be selected. Color score creating means for arranging the color score, and color score storage means for storing the color score and storing score information relating to the color score in the score information as an attribute of the color score; Display music selection means for selecting a suitable song by displaying the color score stored by the color score storage means and the score information of the attribute of the color score, and selecting all or part of the selected song as a reproduction range; , And a reproduction means for selecting and reproducing all or a part of the selected music from the music storage medium based on the output of the display music selection means.

      Further, the tone color conversion means is a scale means in which the scale sound is composed of 12 sounds of an average temperament scale, and the color note creating means is a main sound that is the sound itself and the sound of the 12 sounds of the average scale scale. The main tone is composed of the second harmonic, the third harmonic of the main tone, and the fourth harmonic of the main tone, and the longitudinal difference is the pitch difference between the main tone and the second harmonic, the pitch difference between the second harmonic and the third harmonic, the third harmonic, Further, there is provided a configuration means having a rectangular configuration in which a pitch difference of a fourth harmonic and a pitch difference of the fourth harmonic and a fifth harmonic of the main tone are sequentially stacked as a length of a main harmonic overtone pitch, and a side is a fixed reference length. The color score creating means positions the color notes in the vertical direction according to the pitch of the score information, and creates the color score by arranging the color notes adjacent to each other in the order of the notes in the score information. Having an arrangement with an arraying means That.

      The color score creating means includes simultaneous sound detecting means for detecting the presence of simultaneous multiple sounds reverberating at the same time based on the musical score information, and the number of the simultaneous multiple sounds based on the output of the simultaneous sound detecting means. A simultaneous sound display means for creating a color score of the simultaneous multiple sounds by overwriting the color notes in order from the lowest sound to the higher sound of the simultaneous multiple sounds, and a repetitive sound in which the same sound is continuously repeated by the score information Repetitive sound detection means for detecting the presence of the color sound, and based on the output of the repetitive sound detection means, a boundary line of a color different from the color of the color note is provided at a boundary portion where the color notes of the repetitive sound are adjacent to each other The repetitive sound display means for displaying and the color score creating means further have a main melody detection means for detecting a melody that becomes a main melody from the score information, and based on the output of the main melody detection means, the color of the color note of the main melody Has a main melody specifying means for clearly indicating the position of the main note of the color note by different colors, and a sound intensity detecting means for detecting the intensity of the sound based on the score information, and the color based on the output of the sound intensity detecting means. It has a configuration provided with sound intensity indication means for changing the length of the main harmonic overtone pitch of a note.

      The display music selection means includes a tone color synchronization display means for displaying a color score of all or part of the selected music in synchronism with reproduction of all or a part of the music selected by the reproduction means. It is what has.

      In this way, the music selection device of the present invention expresses the score in color and prompts the selection of music as a visual image. Therefore, there is no need to think of a conventional search keyword, and the person who cannot read the score or the song title and song management number are assigned. You can select a song even if you want to listen to a song that you have never heard of, or you have never heard of.

      Furthermore, it is possible for professional musicians to express the reverberation of harmonics whose main tone is the tone of the musical tone that can be heard, and the musical tone also correlates with the musical notes and gradually changes naturally like the visible light color. In addition, the color representations are displayed so as to conform to the conventional musical score description method, and music selection can be performed while maintaining the conventional musical score feeling.

      The music includes not only the main melody but also accompaniment and orchestral music, but it is a color expression that can express the intensity and intensity of these various sounds as well as piano and forte. Is not just a song selection, it can be selected in a state where the artistic range of selecting a song while appreciating the color expression has been reached.

Furthermore, it is also possible to select and play back a specific part called the main theme part or the wabi / sabi part of the selected music. Further, while playing the selected music, it can be viewed as a video that flows on the screen on which the reproduced music is expressed in color.

      The music selection device according to the present invention arranges the musical scales in a ring shape in the order in which the adjacent sounds have a pitch of 5 degrees, and arranges the visible light color in a ring order in the order of the wavelengths corresponding to the annular arrangement of the musical notes. A tone color conversion means for performing a corresponding conversion between a sound and the visible light color, and each tone of the scale tone is composed of a main tone that is the sound itself and a harmonic of the main tone, and the color of the main tone and the harmonic is the tone color Color note creating means for expressing the color as color notes colored by the conversion means, and the color notes are arranged in a color score table for arranging the color notes on the basis of the musical score information of the music to be selected to constitute a color score A color score creating means, a color score storing means for storing the color score, and storing score information regarding the color score in the score information as an attribute of the color score, and a color score storing means. A display music selection means for selecting a suitable song by displaying the color score and the musical score information of the attribute of the color score and selecting all or a part of the selected song as a reproduction range; It has a configuration provided with reproducing means for selecting and reproducing all or a part of the selected music piece from the music storage medium based on the output. The present invention will be described below.

      FIG. 1 is a configuration block diagram of a music selection device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 100 denotes a tone color conversion unit that converts a scale sound and a visible light color in correspondence with each other, and reference numeral 200 denotes a color note creation unit that creates a rectangular color expression in which the scale tone is colored by the tone color conversion unit. Yes, the output result is a color note 220.

      Reference numeral 300 denotes musical score information into which musical score data of a music to be selected is input. This information includes color musical score creation means 400, simultaneous sound detection means 410, repetitive sound detection means 430, main melody detection means 450, and sound intensity detection means 470. , Respectively, by the reproduction means 800.

      600 color score storage means stores the color score 500 created by the color score creation means, and also stores score information related to the color score in the score information 300 as an attribute of the color score.

    The display music selection means 700 displays the color score stored in the color score storage means, selects a suitable song from among the displayed color scores, for example, by a touch panel method, and reproduces the selected song. A range is selected and the music selection information and the reproduction range information are output to the reproduction means 800 and the tone color synchronization display means 710.

      The reproduction means 800 inputs the music selection information and the reproduction range information from the display music selection means 700, selects the music suitable for the selected music from the music storage medium 810, and extracts the reproduction range of the music. Reproduce.

      The tone color synchronization display means 710 receives the music selection information and the reproduction range information from the display music selection means 700 and displays the color score in synchronization with the reproduction of the music by the reproduction means 800.

    In more detail, the scale sound of the scale means 110 of the sound color conversion means 100 is, for example, 12 sounds of the average temperament scale, and the visible light color is the color shown in the Munsell color system.

    The visible light color gradually changes in hue with the change of the wavelength, and the Munsell color system shows the 10 Munsell basic hue ring as a hue ring in which these colors are sequentially arranged in a ring shape.

    Here, since the number of sounds when converting the sound and the color is 12 sounds of the average temperament scale, the 12 hue ring obtained by dividing the Munsell basic 10 hue ring into 12 parts is converted into the 12 sounds of the average temperament scale. And

    On the other hand, the 12 notes of the average temperament scale must be arranged so that the tone gradually changes in order to correspond to the 12 hue circle in which the hue gradually changes.

    Generally speaking, the arrangement of sounds is a method of arranging sounds in the order of frequencies in the same way as the color, and this is a method of arranging twelve scale sounds as they are in the order of the pitches.

    However, a general major scale is composed of seven out of twelve tones, and there is no particular sense of incongruity in the progression of the sound within the seven tones, but a sense of incongruity arises when sounds other than the seven tones are mixed. For example, the scale in C major is composed of seven sounds: c (do), d (le), e (mi), f (fa), g (so), a (la), b (si). These sounds are # (sharp: semi-pitch upper symbol) and $ (flat: semi-pitch lower symbol (normally the flat symbol is represented by b, but it may be confused with b) )) When a symbol is attached, a sense of incongruity is generated (hereinafter, the English names of c, d, e, f, g, a and b are used)

    When viewed in this way, it is considered that the sound arrangement in which each sound gradually changes is in an order other than the order of frequencies.

    Therefore, paying attention to the relationship between each major scale and each sound that composes them, let's see what the relationship is. Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of the sounds that make up each major scale. Conversely, the major scales to which each sound belongs are extracted from this, and the major scale to which each sound belongs is summarized by considering that this extraction result is an element that characterizes each sound. As a result, FIG. 3 is obtained. Next, in order to obtain the correlation coefficient of each sound, the circles in FIG. 3 (the major scale to which each sound belongs) are set to the number 1 and the others are set to zero in FIG. The number may be 9 and the others may be 3. In short, it is only necessary that the value of the number in the circle is different from that in the other places. As a result, each sound is represented by a 12-digit code consisting of 1 and 0, respectively.

    FIG. 5 shows a correlation coefficient obtained from the sound of c for the 12-digit code, and FIG. 6 shows the result of rearranging the sounds in the order of similar 12-digit codes in FIG. .

    Here, there are a plurality of sounds having the same correlation coefficient in FIG. 5, but FIG. 7 shows a summary of the arrangement order by comparing FIGS. 5 and 6 in consideration of arranging the sounds in a ring shape.

    On the other hand, for a 12-color ring obtained by dividing the Munsell basic 10-color ring into 12 parts, for example, 12 hues of 5R, 3YR, 1Y, 10Y, 8GY, 6G, 5BG, 3B, 1PB, 10PB, 8P, and 6RP are obtained. Further, the 12 divisions of the Munsell basic 10 color wheel can be divided into 6R, 4YR, 2Y, 1GY, 9GY, 7G, 6BG, 4B, 2PB, 1P, 9P, 7RP, which are obtained by rotating the division positions at equal angles on the circumference. Irregular divisions 8R, 4YR, 4Y, 2GY, 9GY, 5G, 8BG, 4B, 4PB, 2P, 9P, 5RP, and the like may be used. Here, R, Y, G, B, and P represent red, yellow, green, blue, and purple, respectively.

    A 12-color circle created on a personal computer based on the same concept becomes, for example, 12 hues of R, RRG, RG, RGG, G, GGB, GB, GBB, B, BBR, BR, BRR shown in FIG. Here, R, G, and B indicate red, green, and blue, respectively.

    FIG. 9 is a timbre conversion table (rest marks are expressed in BLK (black)) by comparing FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, and FIG. 10 is an annular arrangement of FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 10, the scale sounds are arranged in a ring shape in the order in which the adjacent sounds are in the fifth pitch.

Next, the configuration means 210 of the 200 color note creation means will be described.
The average temperament scale divides one octave into 12 sections, and when the reference frequency is f = ^21/2 , the frequency ratio is f ⁰ (= 1), f ¹ , f ² , f ³ , f ⁴ , f ⁵ , f ⁶ , f ⁷ , f ⁸ , f ⁹ , f ¹⁰ , f ¹¹ , f ¹² (= 2), and the half-tone scale is c, #c, d, $ e, e, f, #f, g, $ a, a, $ b, b, followed by 1 octave higher c, c (f ⁰ (= 1)) and 1 octave higher c (f ¹² (= 2)) has a relationship between the main sound and the second overtone.

    Here, 2c (= 130.8 Hz, the number in front of the pitch name indicates the octave height, meaning that the pitch increases as the number increases. Here, the central c tone of the piano = 261.63 Hz is 3c. FIG. 11 shows 2 to 6 harmonics when the main sound is the same below. The second harmonic is 3c, the third harmonic is 3g, the fourth harmonic is 4c, the fifth harmonic is 4e, and the sixth harmonic is 4g.

    The reverberation of overtones enriches the timbre, and by expressing one sound by a plurality of combinations of the main sound and the overtone, the color conversion of the sound can be made more tasteful. However, it is difficult to listen to overtones unless you are a professional musician who is good at listening, and the difficulty increases especially when the harmonics are higher. Therefore, here, when converting a sound into a color, for example, one main sound and 3 which are added to the main sound are 2, 3, and 4 overtones having a low harmonic order shown in FIG. Each tone of the scale is expressed in color by two overtones.

    In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, the lengths of the main tones of the main to fourth harmonics are the difference between the main sound and the second harmonic (12 semitones, where one semitone is equal to the second minor), and the difference between the second harmonic and the third harmonic. (7 semitones), the difference between the 3rd harmonic and the 4th harmonic (5 semitones), and the difference between the 4th and 5th harmonics (4 semitones) are added to obtain a total of 28 semitones.

    From this, the vertical length is set to 28 semitones, the horizontal length is set to a constant reference length, and a rectangular color expression that colors the sound of the main sound, the second harmonic, the third harmonic, and the fourth harmonic is created based on the tone color conversion table of FIG. .

    For example, FIG. 12 shows a color expression when the main sound is 1c. The left side of FIG. 12 arranges the pitch names from the bottom to the top in the order of the pitches, and corresponds to the color names of FIG. 9. The numbers before the color names are the same as the numbers before the pitch names. It indicates octave height, meaning that the octave sound becomes higher as the number increases, and the color expression increases in brightness as the number increases. Thus, the main tone 1c has a corresponding color of 1R, a pitch of 12 semitones, a second overtone 2c has a corresponding color of 2R, a pitch of 7 semitones, a third overtone 2g has a corresponding color of 2RRG, a pitch of 5 semitones, and a fourth overtone 3c of A rectangular color expression having a corresponding length of 3R and a vertical length of a total of 28 semitones of 4 semitones is completed.

    In this way, if the main tone of the color representation of the rectangle is expressed as all the sounds of the scales, the color representation of the rectangle corresponding to the 12 notes of the average temperament scale is completed. This is a color note 220, a part of which is shown in FIG. Here, the color is shown by a color name expressed in an octave by adding a numerical value in front of the color name in FIG. 9, and the color name 3R corresponds to the scale sound 3c. Also, in order to see the difference in the gradual change in color, the color notes are expressed so that the shade of the color can be seen and arranged in order of the frequency of the sound (in order of the pitch). FIG. 15 shows an arrangement in order of pitch. From this, it can be seen that the shade of color gradually changes in FIG. 15 arranged in order of 5 degree pitches.

    Next, the musical score information 300, which is the basis for expressing the color note 220 as the color musical score 500, will be described.

    As shown in FIGS. 13, 14, and 15, the color note 220 expresses the difference of the scale sound in color, but in order to make the color note a color score 500 expressing the artistry of the music, the color note It is necessary to arrange them in the color score table 510 by adding note pitch data, tone duration data, simultaneous tone data, repetitive tone data, main melody tone data, tone intensity data, arrangement order data, etc. to the notes.

    In the musical score information 300, the data is input as musical score information, and the contents are shown in FIG. First, there are song name, key, time signature, speed data, and then there are melodic numbers for reading a plurality of melodic data. For example, up to 4 melodies can be input here, and data is input from the top in descending order of melodies. The input data is input in the order of step numbers in units of the shortest note length of the music. The step unit length is changed according to the speed data. For example, when the speed data is a symbol, the step unit length is obtained by multiplying the step unit length by the ratio of each symbol with Moderato as 1.00. An example of the speed ratio of the speed symbol is shown in FIG.

    The step unit length which is the shortest note length is not preferably different between the music pieces to be selected, so it is desirable to unify them.

    Next, the melody presence / absence data is data indicating the existence of a melody. 1 indicates that melody data is input, and 0 (zero) indicates that no melody data is input. The main melody data is data indicating whether or not the melody is the main melody, and 1 indicates the main melody.

    The note numbers are input in the order in which the musical notes are arranged in the order of the step numbers. When the note length is longer than the step unit length, for example, when an eighth note is a step unit length and a quarter note is input, the same note number is input to two steps in duplicate.

    Next, with respect to the pitch name data, the pitch name can be input with either the English name or the English name. The pitch name data is converted into pitch data according to the pitch name pitch conversion table of FIG. 18, and is input to the pitch data column of FIG. The rest is input as 0 (zero) in the pitch name data field of FIG. 16, and the pitch is input at the same value as the pitch of the next note when the pause is at the beginning of the song, otherwise the previous pitch It is input with the same value as the pitch of.

    Next, regarding the sound intensity data, this is the intensity of the sound indicated by p (piano) or f (forte). In particular, a value of 1 or more is desired to make the sound stronger, and a value of 1 or less is desired to make it weaker. input. If there is no input value, 1 is assumed. The intensity of the sound is expressed by multiplying the intensity data by the length of the main tone overtone pitch, which is the length of the color note, and changing the length of the entire color note.

    Next, music selection data and reproduction selection data will be described in detail later. The music selection data is data indicating whether or not the music is selected. For example, when the music is selected, 1 is input. Is done. The playback selection data is a symbol indicating the range in the case where the selected song is partially played back in units of steps. For example, S is input at the playback start location and E is input at the playback end location, and only the portion specified by the range is played back. If no data is input, the entire song is played from the beginning to the end. Note that these music selection data and reproduction selection data are not initially input, but are input by the display music selection means 700.

    Next, means for creating a color score will be described with reference to FIG. First, specific contents of the data of the musical score information 300, which is a basis for creating a color musical score, will be described.

    The musical score information in FIG. 19 is as shown in FIG. The shortest note is an eighth note, and the velocity data here is a numerical value of 1.00, so the eighth note length is the step unit length as it is. The melodic presence / absence data of melody numbers 1 and 2 is 1, musical score data on the treble clef score is input to the melody number 1, and musical score data on the syllable score is input to the melody number 2. . No data is input for melody numbers 3 and 4.

    The note numbers are input in order of steps for each melody. In the data of melody number 1, the eighth note length is the step unit length, and therefore, the quarter note part is input with overlapping numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, and 4. Similarly, since the data of melody number 2 is a quarter rest and a quarter note, numbers such as 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, and 4 are input in duplicate.

    Here, the note name is entered as an English name. As described above, the number in front of the pitch name is in octave notation, and indicates that the larger the number is, the higher the sound is. For example, 3c is the center c tone of the piano = 261.63 Hz. If a pitch name is entered, a number indicating the pitch of the pitch is entered in the pitch data list with reference to FIG. Since there is no sound that emphasizes sound intensity, no data is input.

    This completes the description of the specific contents of the music score information 300. Next, the color score table 510 will be described. The color score creating means 400 selects a corresponding color score table from among a plurality of color score tables 510 displaying color notes, based on the tone data and time signature data of the score information 300. In the color score table, for example, key marks and time signatures are described on a staff score of a treble clef, the pitches in FIG. 18 correspond to the respective lines and positions between the staffs, and the horizontal unit. The length is set to be the same as the step unit length in FIG.

    Next, means for arranging the color notes 220 on the color score table 510 according to the score information of FIG. 16 will be described.

    First, the color score creating means 400 outputs an instruction to read score information for each piece of music from the score information 300 to the simultaneous sound detecting means 410, the repetitive sound detecting means 430, the main melody detecting means 450, and the sound intensity detecting means 470.

    Accordingly, the simultaneous sound detecting means 410 starts reading the melody presence / absence data of FIG. 16 from the row of the last number 4 of the melody number, and searches for the melody number for which the melody presence / absence data is 1. In this case, since the data of the melody numbers 2 and 1 is 1, it is read that the melody of the musical score information includes two melodys of the melody number 2 and the melody number 1, and the information is displayed on the simultaneous sound display means 420. Output to. Since the melody number 2 is the lowest note melody, the simultaneous sound display means 420 reads that the melody score of the melody number 1 has to be overwritten on the melody number 2.

    Next, the repetitive sound detecting means 430 compares the note number and the pitch data for each step of melody number 1 and melody number 2 in FIG. 16, and both the note number and the pitch data are not changed or both. If the pitch number data has not changed even though the note number has changed, it is read that the same note is repeated, and the information is repeated. The sound is output to the sound specifying means 440. If the pitch data has not changed even though the note number has changed, the repetitive sound specifying means 440 must clearly indicate the repetitive sound by inserting, for example, a black vertical line at the boundary portion of the corresponding color note. Read what must be done. In this case, both the melody numbers 1 and 2 are between 8 and 9 as the repetitive sound explicit part.

    Next, the main melody detection means 450 reads that the melody of melody number 1 whose main melody data is 1 in FIG. 16 is the main melody sound, and outputs the information to the main melody clarification means 460. Then, the main melody specifying means 460 reads that the main melody must be specified in the main tone part of the color note of melody number 1.

    Next, the sound intensity detection means 470 reads the sound intensity multiple value of the sound intensity data of each melody number in FIG. 16 and outputs the information to the sound intensity indication means 480. Then, the sound intensity indication means 480 reads that when the color notes 220 are arranged in the color score table 510, the length of the main overtone pitch, which is the vertical length of the color notes, must be multiplied by the sound intensity multiple value. Since the sound intensity data is not input this time, the vertical length of the color notes when arranged in the color score table 510 is the same as the above-mentioned 28 semitones.

    After the above preparation is completed, the color score creating means 400 reads pitch name = 0 and pitch = 20 as the first data from step 1 of melody number 2 in FIG. 16 and outputs the information to the arraying means 490. . Then, the arraying means 490 selects a color note of a pause note with a pitch name of 0 from the pitch name data of FIG. 13, and determines the lowest position of the color note of the pause note at step 1, pitch 20 of the color score table. Arrange.

    Subsequently, the color score creating means 400 reads the pitch name = 4b and pitch = 48 from the data of step 1 of melody number 1 in FIG. 16 and outputs the information to the arraying means 490. Then, the arraying means 490 selects the color note of the note name 4b from the note name data of FIG. 13, and determines and arranges the main note position of the color note 4b at step 1, pitch 48 position of the color score table. Subsequently, the main melody specifying means 460 specifies the main melody at the main tone position of the pitch 48 of the color note, for example, in a black frame display.

    Next, the color score creating means 400 reads pitch name = 0 and pitch = 20 from the data of step 2 of melody number 2 in FIG. 16 and outputs the information to the arraying means 490. Then, the arraying means 490 selects the pause note color notes shown in FIG. 13, and arranges the pause note color notes at step 2 of the color score table at the 20th pitch position.

    Subsequently, the color score creating means 400 reads the pitch name = 4 g and the pitch = 44 from the data of step 2 of melody number 1 in FIG. 16 and outputs the information to the arraying means 490. Then, the arranging means 490 selects the color note of the note name 4g in FIG. 13, and determines and arranges the main note position of the color note 4g at the step 2 and the pitch 44 position of the color score table. Subsequently, the main melody specifying means 460 specifies the main melody at the main tone position of the pitch 44 of the color note, for example, in a black frame display.

    Next, the color score creating means 400 reads the pitch name = 2g and the pitch = 20 from the data of step 3 of melody number 2 in FIG. 16, and outputs the information to the arraying means 490. Then, the arraying means 490 selects 2g color notes in FIG. 13, and determines and arranges the main note positions of the color notes 2g at step 3 and pitch 20 position of the color score table.

    Subsequently, the color score creating means 400 reads the pitch name = 3b and the pitch = 36 from the data of step 3 of melody number 1 in FIG. 16 and outputs the information to the arraying means 490. Then, the arranging means 490 selects the color note 3b in FIG. 13, and determines and arranges the main note position of the color note 3b at step 3 and the pitch 36 position of the color score table. Subsequently, the main melody specifying means 460 specifies the main melody at the main sound position of the pitch 36 of the color note, for example, in a black frame display.

    Here, when the color note 3b is overwritten on the color note 2g, the portion of the color score 2g whose pitch is higher than 36 is erased and is not displayed, but the reverberation of the harmonic over the main tone is compared. Because it is so small that it is considered that it is very difficult to listen to the harmonics of the low frequency and the high frequency, so that it is very difficult to listen to it. It can be considered that the method of overwriting is valid.

    Here, FIG. 20 shows an example of color expression that can be obtained by overwriting the color note with the main sound 1e on the color note with the main sound 1c. In the color representation in the middle of the figure, the left side is the 1c color note and the right side is the 1e color note. The result of overlaying 1e on 1c is the color representation of the center 1c + 1e, and the 1c color note is displayed with only the 4 semitones of the main part, and the 1e color note is overwritten on it. Yes.

    In this way, the color notes are arranged in the color score table in the order of the step numbers in FIG. 16 to create a color score. The above is the means up to the creation of the color score which is the original data of the music selection device of the present invention, and the color score of FIG. Here, the colors are represented by the color names in FIG. 13, and the upper vertical black frame portion is the color score of the main melody portion, and the lower vertical black frame portion is the color score of the accompaniment portion. The horizontally long black frame in the middle is the main part of the main melody. In FIG. 21, since the image of the actual color score does not appear, FIG. 22 expresses the color difference in monochrome shades and clearly shows the simultaneous sound, repetitive sound, and main melody sound.

    Next, a means for selecting music and a means for reproducing music using the color score 500 of the music to be selected created by these means will be described.

    The color score storage means 600 stores the score information of the color score as an attribute together with the plurality of color scores obtained as the output of the color score creation means 400.

    The display music selection means 700 displays a plurality of color scores in the color score storage means 600 and score information of the attributes of the color scores, and for example, the menu item K1 in FIG. 16 is selected from the displayed color scores. In this case, when 1 is written in the music selection data of the musical score information of the song attribute and the reproduction range of the song is selected, for example, in steps 3 to 12 in FIG. 16, the reproduction selection of the musical score information of the song attribute is similarly performed. S is written as a reproduction start symbol in Step 3 of the data, E is written as a reproduction end symbol in Step 12, and the musical score information is output to the reproduction means 800 and the tone synchronization display means 710, and the selected music piece Are output to the tone color synchronous display means 710.

    The reproduction means 800 has a table that can designate the reproduction position for each song name of the song storage medium 810 in which the song to be selected is recorded and the reproduction position corresponding to the step number of FIG. 16 for each song name. Based on the input information from the music selection means 700, the reproduction position of the selected music is designated and output to the music storage medium 810, and the music storage medium 810 reproduces the designated range of the selected music.

    At the same time, the reproducing means 800 returns a synchronization pulse corresponding to the steps of FIG. 16 to the display music selecting means 700 while the music storage medium 810 is reproducing the selected music.

    The tone color synchronization display means 710 inputs the synchronization pulse output from the reproduction means 800 via the display selection means 700, and the color score and the reproduction range of the selected music already inputted are written. The designated range for displaying the color score is displayed in synchronism with the reproduction of the designated range of the selected music on the music storage medium 810 according to the musical score information which is the attribute of the music.

According to the present invention, it is possible to appreciate and educate music using visual images recalled by color changes and transitions, and to select music using sensuous visual images that do not depend on words such as search keywords as in the past. Therefore, it can be a good music selection tool for people who cannot read the score, or who do not get the image of the song even if they listen to the song name and song management number, and also see the song as a visual image for the hearing impaired To expand the interest in music to many people, such as the development of art that fuses hearing and vision through the display of color musical scores combined with musical sounds. Can be considered.
In the present invention, the system may be configured by microcomputer means.
