ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for vocally entering acoustic data and producing an output. In one embodiment, a note preset is identified and selected according to the vocal input signal, and auxiliary note information is also extracted from the vocal input signal. The auxiliary note information is used to generate synthesis engine parameters that modify the note preset to provide a complex note output. In another embodiment, feature vectors of note segments are used to select a preset file representing a particular instrument from a library of instrument preset files. A note preset is selected from the instrument preset file according to the note segment to create an output corresponding to the selected instrument or instrument group.
