Abstract
In this paper, we propose a musical instrument conversion based music ensemble application for smartphone. If we try to create ensemble music using virtual instruments provided by the conventional smartphone application, we should know how to play each instrument. In addition, it is impossible to play the instrument in a natural way if the smartphone screen cannot show the entire part of the instrument. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a smartphone application that records music sound by playing an acoustic guitar, converts it to other instruments' sound, applies effect to the converted sound, and creates a final ensemble music after mixing all sounds. Using the proposed application, the user can create ensemble music only by playing the acoustic guitar.
