摘要： In a music video game, a player's performance is digitally sampled while the player performs a musical composition. The player's performance is compared with a reference performance of the musical composition provided by the music video game. Performance feedback is presented to the player based on the results of the comparison. In some embodiments, sample times associated with digital samples of the player's live vocal performance are compared against timestamps of data records embedded or otherwise accompanying the reference performance audio track. Pitch and rhythm information is retrieved from the data record having a timestamp that most closely matches the sample time of interest. The pitch and rhythm data is used to compute pitch and rhythm errors, which are used to generate performance evaluation data. The performance evaluation data is used to present performance feedback to the player while the player is performing the musical composition.

摘要： An interactive electronic drum system and training techniques suitable for use in a coin-operated environment such as an arcade are described. Electronic drum pads, audio speakers, a visual display, training lights and an overall control system are combined to simulate the excitement of a live drum or inactive musical jam session for a user. Positive feedback and, as necessary, instructive aid are provided to make the experience a positive one for both the novice and the expert player. Learning and playing a musical instrument becomes an intuitive, exciting experience and not a boring chore to be endured. Players can simulate the experience of playing in a rock band before a live and appreciative audience. In short, this interactive electronic drum system makes drums and the jamming experience widely accessible to the public.

摘要： A game system allows timing adjustment for reducing inaccuracy in timing evaluation of an operation performed by a player. The game system includes a storage device for storing reference data defining timing of at least one operation to be performed by a player on an input device associated with an elapsed time from a predetermined position serving as a reference, and an operation instruction device for instructing the player operation timing based on the reference data. An operation detection device detects actual timing of an operation performed on the input device by the player, and an evaluation device evaluates the detected operation by comparing the timing of the operation defined in the reference data and the detected timing. An adjustment value setting device allows the player to correct an evaluation result, and an adjustment execution device changes the operation timing with the predetermined position being used as a reference.
