Abstract
Disclosed herein are various systems and methods for audio and/or visual playback. A system can include a first data encoded according to a first file format, a second data encoded according to a second file format, and a file using the first and second data to enable synchronized audio and/or visual playback of the data on one or more receiving elements. In certain instances, at least a portion of the second data includes information relating to finger positions on a musical instrument.
Claims35
A computer-implemented method for audio and/or visual playback comprising:
- selecting first data encoded according to a first file format;
- selecting second data encoded according to a second file format, said second data including information relating to finger positions on a musical instrument;
- and
- creating a file using the first and second data, said file enabling synchronized audio and/or visual playback of the first and second data.
A data processing system for audio and/or visual playback comprising:
- a first data encoded according to a first file format;
- a second data encoded according to a second file format, said data including information relating to finger positions on a musical instrument;
- and
- a file using the first and second data, said file further adapted to enable synchronized audio and/or visual playback of the first and second data.
A computer-implemented method for audio and/or visual playback comprising a step of:
- reading a file, wherein the file uses a first data encoded according to a first file format, a second data encoded according to a second file format, said second data including information relating to finger positions on a musical instrument;
- and
- wherein the step of reading the file comprises processing the file and transforming data from the file into audio and/or visual components having a pre-selected tempo.
