Sound devices are computer peripherals that produce, manipulate, or record sound or electronic signals representing sound. Virtually all modern music and movie sound production is done digitally using computer sound devices.

Electronic circuit with reverberation effect and improved output controllability

An electronic circuit for adding the effects of reverberation to a high impedance signal produced from an external audio source such as a guitar pickup or a high impedance microphone. The electronic circuit comprises a reverberation effects circuit having pre-amplifier / driver and recovery amplifier sections and a spring reverberation device coupled thereinbetween and a reverberation effects bypass at the circuit's input, prior to switchably passing the audio signal into an input of the pre-amplifier / driver section which comprises a low impedance, high current output for input into the spring reverberation device having an output for passing a low impedance signal to the recovery amplifier section, which suitably serves in increasing the impedance of the signal to a predetermined level acceptable for input into an external sound device such as an amplifier having channel inputs and audio control capabilities, and a power supply circuit having means for switching between a dc voltage source and an ac voltage source and supplying ±9 volts to integrated circuits (ICs) included in the pre-amplifier / driver and recovery amplifier sections of the reverberation effects circuit.

Sound device and sound control device

The sound device includes an audio-information output unit, an analysis unit, an audio-division-spectrum output unit, a noise-division-spectrum output unit and a correction unit. The analysis unit receives audio information from the audio-information output unit, and then outputs sound spectrum information. The noise-division-spectrum output unit outputs sound-volume information for each critical band width of a noise, and the audio-division-spectrum output unit outputs the sound-volume information for each critical band width of the sound-spectrum information. The correction unit corrects the information from the audio-division-spectrum output unit based on the information from the noise-division-spectrum output unit. The audio-signal properties can be well corrected corresponding to the auditory-sense properties of the human, and thus the audio sound, in which an uncomfortable feeling to the auditory sense of the human has been adequately controlled, can be transmitted to a user.

Gesture synthesizer for electronic sound device

A MIDI-compatible gesture synthesizer is provided for use with a conventional music synthesizer to create musically realistic<DEL-S DATE="20020416" ID="DEL-S-00001" / >ally<DEL-E ID="DEL-S-00001" / > sounding gestures. The gesture synthesizer is responsive to one or more user controllable input signals, and includes several transfer function models that may be user-selected. One transfer function models properties of muscles using Hill's force-velocity equation to describe the non-linearity of muscle activation. A second transfer function models the cyclic oscillation produced by opposing effects of two force sources representing the cyclic oppositional action of muscle systems. A third transfer function emulates the response of muscles to internal electrical impulses. A fourth transfer function provides a model representing and altering virtual trajectory of gestures. A fifth transfer function models visco-elastic properties of muscle response to simulated loads. The gesture synthesizer outputs <DEL-S DATE="20020416" ID="DEL-S-00002" / >MIDI-compatible<DEL-E ID="DEL-S-00002" / > continuous pitch data, tone volume and tone timbre information. The continuous pitch data is combined with discrete pitch data provided by the discrete pitch generator within the conventional synthesizer, and the combined signal is input to a tone generator, along with the tone volume and tone timbre information. The tone generator outputs tones that are user-controllable in real time during performance of a musical gesture.

Content distribution method, content obtaining device and method, and program

In EMD service, when a user listens to a sample of a musical piece, the user listens to the sample of the musical piece being reproduced by an EMD client on judgment of the EMD client itself without the user performing an operation for starting the trial listening reproduction. Specifically, when the user presses a upward key 44 or a downward key 45 in a state in which a musical piece presenting page 91 as a list of musical pieces (musical piece information for identifying them) is displayed, the EMD client updates a musical piece to be reproduced for trial listening, and displays only the information of that musical piece in inverse video 92. The EMD client obtains trial listening data of the musical piece from an EMD server and reproduces the musical piece (one part thereof) corresponding to the trial listening data from a speaker 21 on judgment of the EMD client itself without the user performing an operation for starting the trial listening reproduction. The present invention is applicable to household electric appliances such as audio apparatus and the like that can be connected to the Internet.
