Orpheus is an automatic composition system and service developed by the Department of Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics, University of Tokyo.The name comes from Orpheus, the master of the lyre in Greek mythology.[1]

Overview

This is an automatic composition system based on the theory of Professor Shigeki Sagayama of the University of Tokyo, and version 3.17 is now available. Input lyrics, edit settings on its structure, rhythm or chord progression, and the computer will generate a song that matches the lyrics. Since it was easy to use (you can click a button and make a song), convenient (you can not only listen to the song but also download mp3 / midi), and versatile (change settings and you can make songs with a variety of moods and quality), many used it to create hundreds of songs after it became famous in Nan-J. It works by "analyzing the rhythm and pitch, and finding the melody that sounds the most natural."

Achievement of Orpheus

Orpheus has already been used by Orpheus as a way to create new pakasongs for a long time now. However, the act of publishing arrangements of these songs on Nico Nico Douga is still very popular and And new albums have been posted at a slow pace. In Master MMD, PVs of songs composed by Orpheus were created and used as BGMs. It has been used extensively for such things as being able to be used as a In addition, it has also been used in games by making use of the simultaneous output of off-vocal (MIDI) files of the created songs. As a "legacy," Pakasongs created in Orpheus were used as background music. He played an immeasurable role in the development of the Koushinism art line, which has underpinned the culture of Koushinism today.

Professor Sagayama's words

 By allowing free lyrics, Orpheus created the inflammatory genre of "Pakasong" and It's an unfortunate history for auto-composing technology, and we have to work hard to protect it from happening again. We have to work hard to protect it so that it doesn't happen again.
