JPH0413184A - Music name searching device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To search for the target name of music among plural names of music by storing stored information, which consists of a 1st note number indicating the pitch of the sound of a MIDI signal and a 1st note ON/OFF data indicating the length of the sound, in pairs with the names of music. CONSTITUTION:When a melody is stored in the device itself or when part of the melody is known as notes, the notes are inputted from an input means 14 and processed into MIDI information. A comparing means compares the note number as the MIDI information with note numbers of the stored information on many pieces of music stored in a storage means 15. Then music whose searching information matched one piece of stored information is selected and its music name is outputted to an output means 17. In this case, the melody can also be outputted together. Consequently, the melody which is stored in the device itself is inputted and desired music can be known among many pieces of music having similar melodies.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application in ργ Business] The present invention relates to a song title search device that searches for a song title from a part of a melody.

1. Prior Art] FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a conventional song title research device disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-51643. In the figure, (1) is a storage device that stores the musical scales of songs converted to -C, and is composed of LSI, magnetic tape, magnetic cards, etc. Is (2) 11′? ,H pressed key]
- The input means (3) sends a clock to the storage device (1) based on the report that the key of the manual means (2) has been pressed, operates the input means (2), and inputs the information of the key "1" to 11.
16 system rJl1 means, (4) is the control child m (3) (7
)"1" (7)]- code and a matching circuit that compares the code pressed by the manual means (2), (5) is an output means, and (6) is a pulse generator for synchronizing the system.

(7) is a clock that shifts the register of storage device (1) by one scale information, (8) is one scale data,
(9) is a one-shot signal, and (10) is the scale input from the keyboard. ]-coded memory information, (12
) is an output signal, and (13) is a system signal for reporting to the control means (3) and accepting key manual input again when the results of comparison in the matching circuit (4) do not match.

In the above configuration, for example, for songs with the C, S, E, F, and G scales, each 0001.0010%001
The code 1.0100%0101 is the storage device (1)
is stored in Here, when a key is pressed on the input means (2), a clock is sent to the storage device (1) via the control means (3). By the clock, the storage device (1
) stored in ) are sequentially shifted from 1 to 1 from the right end, and data (8) is output. When the]-1~ conversion input information (10) and the ]-code conversion storage information (11) match the matching circuit (4
), and this result is displayed on the output means (5) as the 8th floor.

J: If you press the ``sh'' key when you should have pressed the ``do'' key, it will warn you and give you a command to press it again.
Just wait for the correct answer.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the conventional song name research device displays the song name stored on, for example, a cassette tape in response to a key operation from a storage device in which song names, scales, etc. are stored. However, there was a problem in that it was not possible to display the name of a song that included a melody input from among a large number of songs by manually inputting a part of the song.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a song name research device that displays song names that include the input melody from among a large number of songs by only panning a part of the melodies. The purpose is to

[Means for Solving Problem 1] A song title research device according to the present invention indicates a first note number indicating the pitch of a MIDI signal, which is an interface for interconnecting musical instruments, and a length of the note. A storage means that stores memory information consisting of first note on/off information paired with a song title, and at least a portion of the song to be investigated is inputted, and investigation information consisting of a second note number of the MIDI signal is input. an input means for comparing the stored information and the research information and outputting a match signal when the second note number exactly matches the first note number; The apparatus is equipped with an output means for outputting the note number and the corresponding song title.

[Function] In this invention, a part of the melodies of the song to be investigated are compared with the melody stored in the MIDI signal, and the names of the songs that match each other are output. Again 1
Find the title of one song from multiple song titles.

] Embodiment 1 of the Invention Modern musical instruments such as the sizer are equipped with MJDl (

The instrument is configured so that the musical instrument can perform ftp% based on performance information consisting of DI signals.

The performance information of this MIDI signal is of the following four types.

(1) Note number representing the height of & as S4I disc number (2) No 1 to on/off representing the length of the note (3) Wellness representing the strength of the note (4) One note of vibrato The present invention uses note pick-up data among the above-mentioned performance information.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

In FIG. 1, (14) is an input means for inputting all or part of the melody of the song you want to know;
Compatible keyboard instrument L! Input by pressing the board or by using the MIDI signal itself. (15) Many songs are MIDI
It is a storage means that is stored in the form of an ID, and stores data on numbers and note on/off for each song title. (16> is the MI input from the input means (14)
Comparison means compares the DI signal and the MIDI signal of the storage means (15), and outputs a match signal when at least the note numbers match. Reference numeral (17) is an output means for outputting the song title in voice or text on the display in response to a matching signal.

Next, the operation will be explained. In FIGS. 1 and 2, when the user has memorized or knows part of the melody as musical notes, he inputs γ manually using the input means (14). The input 8 symbol is converted into M]1)1 information (step S1). For example, "Do" 1 し Jl Mi J 1 So J+
When the investigation information or human input is received, the number is +.

In the case of comparison, an investigation is performed. In order to cover the ambiguity of the person's memory, the investigation information No. 1 ~ Bumba 15

Step 33). A song whose stored information and research information match is selected (step 4), and the song title is output to the output means (17) (step 5). In this case, the melody may also be output.

Generally, when selecting a karaoke song, discs are picked out based on the number corresponding to the song written on a piece of paper, but according to the above embodiment, it is possible to automatically play a song by inputting a melody.

Furthermore, even if you remember part of the melody of a song or don't know the name of the song, you can easily find it.

Further, if there is a central piece of music such as a symphony and the performance time is long, the central melody part may be stored in the storage means.

1 Effect of Light 1 As described above, according to this invention, by inputting a melody that you have memorized, you can find the song you are looking for from a large number of songs that contain similar melodies. .
