Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a karaoke video, that is, a video tape in which audio information that becomes the accompaniment of the song to be sung, text information that becomes the lyrics of the line drawing, and video information that becomes the background of the line drawing are recorded. The present invention relates to a method for displaying the lyrics information.

Recently, so-called karaoke machines, which play accompaniment music recorded on magnetic tape and sing the lyrics along with it, have become popular. Such a conventional karaoke device prepares a lyrics collection with lyrics printed on it, searches for the corresponding lyrics from the lyrics collection,
We sing along with the accompaniment while looking at the lyrics, but because we have to keep a collection of lyrics, we sometimes lose the collection of lyrics, and if we only vaguely remember the song, the timing at which we start singing may be delayed. So I couldn't sing well.

On the other hand, with the spread of video tape recorders, karaoke video tapes have become commercially available.

This records the audio information that becomes the accompaniment of the song to be sung, the textual information that becomes the lyrics of the line drawing, and the video information that becomes the background of the line drawing.If you play this, you will not only have the accompaniment but also the lyrics and the lyrics. A background that matches the song is projected on the CRT. Therefore, although it has the advantage that it can be sung without a lyric card, it is easy to handle because there is no need to store the lyric card, and the song is filled with emotion from the background, the lyrics are displayed with the opponent's setsubun, so the current accompaniment is Sometimes I don't know which lyrics the lyrics are, especially if I only vaguely remember the lyrics, I can't tell where the lyrics are in relation to the accompaniment, and I don't even know what the strength, weakness, pitch, etc. of the part I'm singing should be. , - It was too good to practice in person.

The present invention was developed in view of this situation, and allows you to sing without looking at a lyrics book, and even if the timing with the accompaniment is off, you can immediately know which part to sing, and what's more, you can easily check the strength and weakness of the part that is being sung at the time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for displaying lyrics in a karaoke video in which the pitch and pitch of the lyrics can be easily understood.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a video information supply device that supplies background video information suitable for an accompaniment piece to the mixer 2, and 3 is a text information supply device that supplies the lyrics of the song to the mixer 2 as text information. It is. Reference numeral 4 denotes a symbol information supply device that supplies symbols to the mixer 112 that are musically auxiliary when the user sings a song.

These video information, character information, and symbol information are mixed in a mixer 2, and then further mixed in a mixer 6 with audio information as an accompaniment music generated by an audio information supply device 5, and recorded on a video tape recorder, etc. It is recorded by the playback device 7. In this case, the character information and symbolic information are recorded in synchronization with the audio information.

For example, when recording the song "Jogashima no Ame,"
From just before the accompaniment that corresponds to the lyrics "On the shores of Jogashima where it rains" is mixed so that the lyrics "On the shores of Jogashima where it rains" is projected from just before the beginning to just before the end (or directly), and the accompaniment. As the song progresses, the letters to be sung are underlined and recorded. In other words, for example, when the white text ``It rains on the shore of Jogashima'' is displayed, the position of the red underline will move from the word ``rain'' to the word ``ni'' as the accompaniment progresses. recorded.

The signal reproduced by the recording/reproducing device 7 is separated by the separator 8, and the mixed information of video information, text information, and symbolic information is displayed on a cathode ray tube or the like. 9, and
Audio information is mixed 1) via a sound generator 1 such as a speaker
1. Audio information supplied from an external audio information supply device 12 such as a microphone is also mixed by the mixer IO and reproduced from the sound generator 11.

To explain its operation, when the recording and reproducing device 7 is put into the reproducing state, for example, as shown in FIG.
The character information B and the symbol information C are displayed on the display 9, and the accompaniment music is played back by the sound generator 11.

In this case, as the accompaniment progresses, the symbol information C sequentially moves to the potential of the next letter, so if the user sings the underlined letters one after another while looking at the display 9, the accompaniment and timing will change. can be matched.

In the above embodiment, the symbol information C was explained as a symbol for adjusting the timing, but the pitch, strength and weakness of the song,
Other symbols may be used to assist the user musically in singing (e.g. lines that change in steps according to pitch, forte, etc.)
