Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to electronic products, and more particularly to a method for composing songs. [Background Technology]

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of AI technology, various AI language models have appeared more and more in people's daily lives. This has prompted many education experts and scholars to call for more attention to be paid to improving aesthetic sense, inspiring imagination, and stimulating innovation in education reform, so as to better adapt to the modern society with the rapid progress of AI technology.

[0003] Song composition is an effective means of enhancing human musical aesthetics. However, for most people who have not received professional music training, the first problem to solve in the process of composing songs is inaccurate singing. In other words, if there is no problem with inaccurate singing during the song composition process, ordinary people without professional training, such as primary and secondary school students, can focus their attention on the discernment and cognition of the song's artistic conception and emotional expression. Naturally, their musical aesthetics and innovative thinking can be continuously improved during the song composition process. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the present invention provides a method for song composition that allows users to avoid pitch deviation during the song composition process, producing accurate singing, which facilitates users' appreciation of the song and improves its quality.

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a method flow according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Detailed Implementation]

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0017] Figure 1 It can be seen from this that

[0018] The first step is to create lyrics. The preferred method is to use the keys of electronic musical instruments as keyboard input. For example, the trigger signals of the keys of electronic keyboards, electronic keyboards, and electric pianos can be changed to the output signals of the 26 English characters on a computer keyboard. Just as a computer keyboard can input Chinese characters using Pinyin input method or English characters using English input method, the lyric character data can be uploaded to an APP or computer software to realize lyric creation, replacing the typing or handwriting input of a computer, mobile phone or tablet. This saves space and hardware costs, making the operation simple, feasible and more applicable.

[0019] Secondly, voice-reading is a very simple and convenient way to input lyrics, suitable for situations where one person is creating a song.

[0020] Another good option is to use a mouse to create lyrics.

[0021] It should be noted that there are a few cases where the melody is composed first and the lyrics are written later. In these cases, although there are no specific lyrics, the composition of the melody also reflects a specific mood or emotion. In a sense, the lyrics are edited before the melody. Therefore, there is no need to elaborate on the situation where the melody is composed first and the lyrics are written later.

[0022] Then you can choose whether the song is sung by a male, female, or child's voice. It can be a male, female, or child's voice that comes with the AI ​​model, or it can be a short song or a children's song, such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or "Little Donkey," which is produced and synthesized by AI technology to reflect the user's own voice characteristics.

[0023] Then comes the creation of song melodies. The first choice is to use an instrument to play and input the melody, because this can avoid the problem of inaccurate pitch. Even those who have not received professional singing pitch training and whose singing pitch is not good can still create melodies without being affected. The most convenient and direct way is to use the instrument signal to upload note data and edit the melody. In addition to electronic instruments, you can also use the sound signals of traditional instruments such as keyboard instruments, wind instruments, plucked instruments or bowed string instruments to create melodies after processing.

[0024] It should be noted that the instrument playing input here can be either the playing input of a real physical instrument or the playing input of an instrument simulated on the screen of an electronic product such as a computer monitor or mobile phone screen, such as a piano or electronic keyboard.

[0025] Besides instrumental performance and melody arrangement, another method is to use vocal humming to create melodies. People with a good musical sense and who enjoy singing are usually better at humming and composing song melodies.

[0026] For users with computer music editing experience, using sheet music or a mouse to set notes to form a song melody is another way to create melodies.

[0027] Once the melody of a song is composed, AI technology can be used to merge the melody with the lyrics to generate a vocal performance. At this point, usually one Chinese character byte or one English syllable in the lyrics corresponds to one note in the melody, or one byte or syllable can correspond to two or three or more consecutive notes in the melody to synthesize the vocal performance.

[0028] It can also be a combination of two or three overlapping notes of the melody corresponding to a byte or syllable of the lyrics, that is, a two-part or three-part harmonic singing. Harmonious singing, i.e. chorus, can make a song more artistically appealing.

[0029] Figure 1The 1+1 notes and 1+2 notes shown can be understood as a horizontal melodic progression or a vertical arrangement of chordal notes.

[0030] After the vocals are synthesized, the next step is to edit the accompaniment. Users can choose piano accompaniment, guitar accompaniment, or band accompaniment according to their needs. Bands include pop bands, rock bands, heavy metal bands, orchestras, folk bands, etc.

[0031] Of course, you can also choose to listen to a song without accompaniment.

[0032] Next comes the creation of song data, including sheet music files and audio files.

[0033] Sheet music is the most commonly used staff notation in computer music software, and it is an essential tool for music professionals.

[0034] The large number of people who have not received professional music training basically do not understand staff notation, so they can choose numbered notation. Although numbered notation is not as professional as staff notation, it is sufficient as a written record of ordinary songs.

[0035] If guitar enthusiasts can choose guitar sheet music, it will be more fulfilling to be able to easily accompany themselves on guitar and sing their own compositions.

[0036] Notation, simplified notation, and guitar tabs are all common knowledge that is well understood within the industry, and no examples of relevant sheet music are listed in the accompanying illustrations of this manual.

[0037] The audio file of the song is an important manifestation of the final step of this invention. The audio file of the song, such as an MP3 or WAVE format file, can be saved to a computer hard drive or a cloud server for easy access at any time.

[0038] The song's audio file can also be in MIDI format, which allows for detailed recording of the accompaniment music, facilitating analysis and modification.

[0039] The circuit principle of the electronic musical instrument products related to this invention is not particularly different and belongs to the well-known technology in the industry. It is not within the scope of protection of this invention, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
