Abstract:
1. A music piece creation apparatus comprising: a storage section that stores music piece data composed of audio waveform data; an analysis section that analyzes the music piece data stored in said storage section to determine sudden change points of sound condition in the music piece data; a display device; a display control section that causes said display device to display individual sound fragment data, obtained by dividing at the sudden change points the music piece data stored in said storage section, in a menu format having the sound fragment data arranged therein in order of complexity; an operation section operable by a user, said operation section accepting user's operation for selecting desired sound fragment data from the menu displayed on said display device and user's operation for designating a time-axial position where the selected sound fragment data is to be positioned; and a synthesis section that synthesizes new music piece data by positioning each sound fragment data, selected from the menu through user's operation via said operation section, at a time-axial position designated through user's operation via said operation section.
