Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0731446A1] The invention relates to a microprocessor device for the selection and recognition of musical pieces, comprising means for generating musical notes connected to a governing microprocessor which by means of memories containing a plurality of libraries of reference pieces, compares an inputting musical piece with other pieces present in the libraries; which microprocessor, through a plurality of sequential phases, is able to recognise and identify the inputted notes and pair them with an identical piece in the libraries. Where no identical piece is found, a further phase, working on a basis of an error threshold, can identify musical pieces which are not identical to the inputted piece. <IMAGE>
