Music composition reproducing device and music composition reproducing method
First, an extracting unit extracts chord progression of a tune to be reproduced. Then, a timing detector detects the timing of variation of the chord progression extracted by the extracting unit. Subsequently, an add-tone reproducing unit combines an add-tone with the tune to be reproduced according to the timing detected by the timing detector. The add-tone reproducing unit can also move a sound image to reproduce the tune or reproduce the tune as an arpeggio.
1. A tune reproduction apparatus comprising:
an extracting unit that extracts chord progression of a tune to be reproduced;
a first detecting unit that detects a timing of variation of the chord progression extracted by the extracting unit; and
an add-tone reproducing unit that reproduces, according to the timing detected by the first detecting unit, sound in which an add-tone is combined with the tune, and changes a sound image of the add-tone when the sound is reproduced.
2. The tune reproduction apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an add-tone generating unit that generates the add-tone by changing a pitch thereof according to the chord progression extracted by the extracting unit, wherein the add-tone generated by the add-tone generating unit is combined with the tune.
3. The tune reproduction apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the add-tone reproducing unit reproduces the add-tone as an arpeggio.
4. The tune reproduction apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a second detecting unit that detects a state of drowsiness, wherein the add -tone reproducing unit starts reproducing the add-tone when the second detecting unit detects the state of drowsiness.
5. The tune reproduction apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a second detecting unit that detects a state of drowsiness, wherein the add -tone reproducing unit changes frequency characteristics of the add-tone when the second detecting unit detects that the state of drowsiness has intensified.
6. The tune reproduction apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a second detecting unit that detects a state of drowsiness, wherein the add-tone reproducing unit changes an amount of displacement of the sound image when the second detecting unit detects that the state of drowsiness has intensified.
7. A tune reproduction method comprising:
extracting chord progression of a tune to be reproduced;
detecting a timing of variation of the chord progression extracted at the extracting; and
reproducing, according to the timing detected by the detecting, sound in which an add-tone is combined with the tune, and changing a sound image of the add-tone when the sound is reproduced.
8. The tune reproduction method according to claim 7 , further comprising generating an add-tone by changing a pitch thereof according to the chord progression extracted at the extracting, wherein the add-tone generated at the generating is combined with the tune.
9. The tune reproduction method according to claim 7 , wherein the reproducing includes reproducing the add-tone as an arpeggio.
10. The tune reproduction method according to claim 7 , further comprising detecting a state of drowsiness, wherein the reproducing includes initiating reproducing the add-tone when the state of drowsiness is detected at the detecting the state of drowsiness.
11. The tune reproduction method according to claim 7 , further comprising detecting a state of drowsiness, wherein the reproducing includes changing frequency characteristics of the add-tone when, at the detecting the state of drowsiness, the state of drowsiness is detected to have intensified.
12. The tune reproduction method according to claim 7 , further comprising detecting a state of drowsiness, wherein the reproducing includes changing an amount of displacement of the sound image when, at the detecting the state of drowsiness, the state of drowsiness is detected to have intensified.
