In this paper, we introduce a method for automatically generating accompaniment music, according to user's input melody. The initial accompaniment chord is generated by analyzing user's input melody. Then next chords are generated continuously based on markov chain probability table in which transition probabilities of each chord are defined. The probability table is learned according to reinforcement learning mechanism using sample data of existing music. Also during playing accompaniment, the probability table is learned and refined using reward values obtained in each status to improve the behavior of playing the chord in real-time. The similarity between user's input melody and each chord is calculated using pitch class histogram. Using our method, accompaniment chords harmonized with user's melody can be generated automatically in real-time.

This treatise presents that a possibility of non-musician's composition. In fart, as a development of music composition program(used by IAVA) helps to compose music easily, but non-musician still feels hard to compose some musics and perform some musics even though the band-in-a-box is already existed(which is an auto accompaniment program). This treatise shows non-musicians' special music composition way. Select a cord and put the cord to special program which ratted ‘the cord composition program’, and then the cord composition program creates the rest cords. After this progress, non-musicians overwrite their own melodies in accordance with created cords. Finally, they can perform their own musics with the sound of master-keyboard and other sound sources using by the band-in-a-box program.
