SI9600376A - Sound event visualisation procedure - Google Patents

Abstract

Subject of the invention is a sound event visualisation procedure, representing the transformation of a sound signal into a visual one, offering a solution for the implementation of the procedure for recording this transformation of the signal for recording on a physical media for example video, CD or its use in direct broadcasting. The visualisation procedure offers the possibility to directly transcribe the signal or element of the sound event (1i) by a pattern (Ai) on a computer (E) screen field (E). The transformed content of elements of the sound event (1i) in the form of associative patterns (Ai) by determined reaction colours and shape and colour modifications is constantly recorded in the processor (5i). After the transformation the summing device (7) activates the content of the processors (5i) to provide a single signal, which is written to a physical media or transmitted in direct broadcasting. The procedure according to the invention uses neume like transcripts for transforming the sound event (1i).

Description

The subject of the invention is a method for visualizing an audio event, which represents the conversion of an audio signal into a visual signal and provides a solution for performing a process of recording this conversion to a physical medium, such as e.g. video, CD, or direct download.

The known light show technique is a technique that allows the direct monitoring of music content, that is, the activation of different colored light bodies with respect to different frequency areas of sound and / or music.

The disadvantages of the light show technique are mainly the simplicity and inhomogeneity of visual and audio (musical) content. Furthermore, there is a structural disagreement between the visual and the audible, and the unequal cooperation of the senses of the hearing and the hearing of the listeners, despite the interactive ability that the listener is capable of. The consequence of the above facts is that e.g. listeners, as well as performers, often close their eyes when performing music, which means removing inappropriate visual content / structure or the appearance of a given space.

In addition to the above music processed in the light show technique, in the case of recording on a physical medium, it does not give autonomy to music outside the space intended for light show.

The proposed procedure allows the execution and design of visual content that is comparable in volume and quality to music. Music takes on a visual, autonomous expression form and is no longer in a subordinate function, it is only as support for natural visual content as we are used to in film or television. Each musical work becomes a specific autonomous film through the proposed procedure.

Figure 1 shows a flowchart of the process of converting an audio io event (music piece) into visual content that shows the course of the conversion. For each audio signal (element) of the audio event, a sample Ai is provided for visualization. The shape of the Ai pattern is designed to maximize the association between the visual and the auditory. An example of the association pattern Ai is shown in Figure 2.

The visualization process is performed so that the signal (element) of the audio event 1 i is directly transcribed with the sample Ai, on the screen field E of the computer 4i.

On the computer screen E, a work field M (shown in Figure 3) is programmed, where the associative pattern field Ai, the field

12 for sample changes, box 13 for color change, and box 14 with color spectrum. Due to its ergonomic properties, the working field M is designed so that the associative pattern field Ai, the association pattern change box 12, and the color change box 13 are placed on the left side of the E screen and the color spectrum field 14 due to the reaction times to the right side of the screen.

The process of converting an audio event 1i, which is performed in the work field M, is performed in the sense and form of a stupid font. Some such characters are shown in Figure 6.

During the transcription - conversion of the signal (element) of an audio event 1i, with the signal corresponding to the associative pattern Ai, the reaction color from box 14 is also added to the associative pattern Ai.

Box 12 for modifying association patterns is designed so that io has two switches 12a and 12b fitted. The first switch 12a enables the increase of the associative pattern Ai in the lowering of tones (punctum-gravis), and the switch 12b decreases the associative pattern Ai in the raising of the tones (virgo-actus).

The color change box 13 is also designed to have two switches 13a and 13b fitted. The first switch 13a changes the reaction color to darker tones with punctum gravis, and the switch 13b changes the reaction color to lighter tones with virgo actus.

The converted content of the audio event (music) elements in the form of different associative patterns Ai, reaction color, and change in shape and color is stored on a 5i processor.

After the conversion is completed, Sumator 7 activates the contents of all processors 5i into a single signal that is written to the physical medium or given in the form of a direct transmission. Following the procedure described above, a signal is obtained that combines the visual and audio content of all the signals (elements) of the audio event.

There are two ways to transcribe the signal / elements of an audio event (music).

Following the first method, the flowchart of which is shown in Figure 4, we transcribe the existing phonograms. The procedure is performed by one person using computer R1 on screen E1 in work field M1, each sound signal 1i individually with any number of association patterns Ai. The visual and audio content of each transcription 3i is stored io on a separate processor 5i. After the transcription is complete, the adder 7 is activated, which combines all the processors 5i simultaneously and enables a common audio and visual signal 6, that is, a signal that is recorded with the other signals as the final audio and visual record 8 on the physical medium or makes a direct transmission 9 However, the implementation of the method of the invention for direct transmission of a musical part, the flowchart of which is shown in Figure 5, is carried out in such a way that the direct transmission of an audio event (musical part) is transcribed by several persons in a coordinated manner. Each person transcribes with one association pattern Ai on their computer 4i and processor 5i.

The M work fields of all contractors also show the transcripts of all contractors. Coordination and reconciliation of all emerging visuals / transcriptions, with audio / music, is performed by one person K on a separate R2 computer, screen E2, and M2 workspace. The visual and audio content are stored in the processor 52 and the adder 72, respectively, and are directly transferred to the actual space of the audio event or music performance or recorded on a physical medium.
