    摘要: A media editing application is able to populate bins with media project assets that are responsive to a user query. The query is directed to a knowledge graph that includes nodes representing a diverse range of entity types associated with the media project and relationships between the nodes. The results returned by the knowledge graph are used to specify assets that are imported into the media editing application and placed in media project bins. Bins containing assets responsive to a user query extend an editor's reach to production elements in data sources beyond those represented in prior editorial asset systems and support ad-hoc queries that are not anticipated during when media project files are initially configured.

    摘要: Music creation applications enable users to enter new objects into a musical project using gestures mediated by input maps that are adapted to the musical context of the object entry location. The musical context may be defined by an explicit aspect of the musical project or implicitly by notes or intervals already entered into the project. The adaptation of the input maps may include spatial scaling to provide greater space to objects favored by the context. The context-adapted input maps may be displayed and used to guide user input, such as with gestures on a touch screen. In some implementations, input-sensitive regions of input maps are scaled in accordance with the musical context without being displayed. The methods apply to musical object entry via pop-up input maps and virtual instrument displays.

    摘要: A graphical user interface for music creation applications, such as score notation applications and digital audio workstations, includes multi-dimensional gestures. To enter a sound event into a musical project, a user uses an input device to select and drag a desired sound event in one or more dimensions. The relative position or rate of movement along a given dimension defines a value of a sound event parameter allocated to the given dimension. The sound event is entered into the project when the selection is released. The user inputs the gesture using a pointing device such as a mouse, stylus with a touch screen, or finger on a touch screen. Stylus dimensions mapped to sound event parameters may include, horizontal and vertical stylus tip positions, vertical and horizontal tilt of the stylus, and stylus tip pressure. Sound event parameters controlled by the gestures may include diatonic pitch, chromatic inflection, and duration.

    摘要: An overlay surface for a user interface of a device comprises a lower light-diffusing semitransparent layer affixed to an upper transparent layer. Graphics printed on the bottom surface of the transparent layer are protected from wear by the overlying transparent layer, while light sources back-illuminating the graphics from below are diffused by the semitransparent layer before they reach the graphics. The graphics of the surface may be provided by an opaque mask having transparent or translucent cutouts. The multilayer surface enables the graphics to be evenly back-illuminated while at the same time being protected from external wear without the need for additional light-diffusing elements such as light pipes.

    摘要: Tagged sound file libraries are searched using an iterative search application. A searcher specifies a multi-term search query which is directed to the sound libraries. Responsive audio files from the libraries are ranked by confidence levels for the occurrence of sounds corresponding to searched terms, weighted by user-determined search term priorities. High-ranking candidate audio files are presented to the user who is able to indicate a preference or a disfavoring of the candidates. Based on the feedback, the application adjusts the priorities of the individual search terms in the search query, adds or removes search terms from the query, and performs a new search with a revised set of search terms. The results are ranked using the adjusted priorities. The iterative search locates files with desired sounds that conform to the initial search or that have evolved from it under the user's direction.

    摘要: Playback of a graphical representation of a digital musical score is synchronized with an expressive audio rendering of the score that contains tempo and dynamics beyond those specified in the score. The method involves determining a set of offsets for occurrences of score events in the audio rendering by comparing and temporally aligning audio waveforms of successive subclips of the audio rendering with corresponding audio waveforms of successive subclips of an audio rendering synthesized directly from the score. Tempos and dynamics of human performances may be extracted and used to generate expressive renderings synthesized from the corresponding digital score. This enables parties who wish to distribute or share music scores, such as composers and publishers, to allow prospective licensors to evaluate the score by listening to an expressive musical recording instead of a mechanically synthesized rendering.

    摘要: A media file indexing service involves maintaining a media file index in a location external to the media file itself. The index is built up incrementally as the media file is being captured or transferred to shared storage. Client systems receive raw messages with information as to the location within the media file of media elements within each media file portion after it is written to shared storage, or receive refined messages indicating changes to the media file without the associated location information. Clients may query the index maintained by the index service for specific media elements during file capture, enabling edit-while-capture workflows.

    摘要: A unique material identifier (UMID) for a media file that was not provided with a UMID at its point of origination is generated by using the content of the file, and is independent of the time of file import or accessing. For a given item of media material, the UMID remains unchanged and uniquely identifies the item when such a file is imported or accessed multiple times. The UMID may be generated by hashing together selected portions of the metadata and essence of the media file. The amount of metadata and essence sampled is chosen to provide a high degree of assurance that the UMID will be unique, but is kept small enough so as to avoid causing a perceptible lag when the UMID is generated. In various embodiments the UMID is based purely on one or more selected portions of the media file essence.

    摘要: Synchronous playback of time-based media received from one or more locations remote from a primary editing/mixing studio is achieved by time-stamping media samples with a local presentation time before streaming them to the primary studio. At the primary studio, samples having the same presentation timestamp are played back at the same time, independently of the samples' arrival time at the playback system. Media stored locally to the playback system may also be included as part of the synchronous playback using locally computed presentation times. In order to accommodate media streaming transmission delays, the playback system negotiates a suitable delay with the remote systems such that samples corresponding to a given presentation time are received at the playback system from remote locations prior to playback of media corresponding to the given presentation time.
