Abstract

A music piece analyzer includes: a beat interval acquiring unit configured to acquire a beat interval in music piece data; a candidate detector configured to detect sounding positions where a change amount for sounding is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold in the music piece data, as candidates for sounding positions of a snare drum; and a sounding position determination unit configured to determine that the candidates for the sounding positions at a two-beat interval acquired by the beat interval acquiring unit in the music piece data are the sounding positions of the snare drum, among the candidates for the sounding positions of the snare drum.

Claims (15)

1. A music piece analyzer comprising:

a beat interval acquiring unit configured to acquire a beat interval of music piece data;

a candidate detector configured to detect sounding positions where a change amount for sounding is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold in the music piece data, as candidates for sounding positions of a snare drum; and

a sounding position determination unit configured to determine that the candidates for the sounding positions at a two-beat interval calculated by the beat interval acquiring unit in the music piece data are the sounding positions of the snare drum, among the candidates for the sounding positions of the snare drum.

2. The music piece analyzer according to claim 1 , wherein

the sounding position determination unit determines the sounding positions of the snare drum on a basis of the sounding positions of the candidates at two-beat intervals before and after the candidates.

3. The music piece analyzer according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a high pass filter (HPF) processor configured to subject the music piece data to a high pass filter (HPF) processing.

4. The music piece analyzer according to claim 1 , wherein

the candidate detector acquires differential data of the music piece data in a block per four beats of the music piece data to acquire the change amount.

5. A computer-readable medium that stores a program code configured to enable a computer to function as:

when read and run by the computer

a beat interval acquiring unit configured to acquire a beat interval of music piece data;

a candidate detector configured to detect sounding positions where a change amount for sounding is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold in the music piece data, as candidates for sounding positions of the snare drum; and

a sounding position determination unit configured to determine that the candidates for the sounding positions at a two-beat interval acquired by the beat interval acquiring unit in the music piece data are the sounding positions of the snare drum, among the candidates for the sounding positions of the snare drum.
