Humanizing Music Sequences via 1/f Noise Timing

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the temporal parameters of musical events. Specifically, it introduces random fluctuations in the timing offsets of beats and sounds, transforming the rigid, precise timing of machine-generated music into a more natural, human-like rhythm pattern. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining acceptable rhythm precision while eliminating the artificial perception through controlled temporal variation.

The patent implements dynamics by making the rhythm pattern adaptive and variable rather than static. It dynamically adjusts the timing of musical events based on probabilistic models that simulate human performance characteristics, allowing the music to exhibit natural variations in tempo and rhythm. This dynamic approach preserves rhythm precision on average while introducing the variability that prevents artificial perception.

The patent applies parameter changes by subtly modifying temporal parameters of edited music without dramatically altering the original performance characteristics. It introduces small, natural-sounding timing variations that correct performance inconsistencies while maintaining the authentic feel of human performance, thus improving reliability without adding artificial touch.

The patent uses copying by creating a modified version of the original performance that retains the essential characteristics of human playing. Rather than replacing the original performance with a perfectly generated one, it copies the performance and applies subtle temporal adjustments that preserve the human element while correcting shortcomings.
