Microsoft Research Songsmith is a musical accompaniment application for Microsoft Windows , launched in early 2009. Songsmith immediately generates a musical accompaniment after a voice is recorded. The user can adjust tempo, genre (such as pop , R&B , hip-hop , rock , jazz , or reggae ), and overall mood (e.g. to make it happy, sad, jazzy, etc.).[1]
The software was developed by a team at Microsoft Research , led by researchers Dan Morris and Sumit Basu.[2] [3] [4] University of Washington student, Ian Simon, in the summer of 2007. Songsmith is the second commercial project from Microsoft's Microsoft Research , after AutoCollage .[5]
Morris and Basu starred in an infomercial [6] viral video .[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] The Gruen Transfer [13]
The release of the software spawned an internet meme where the vocal tracks of popular songs are fed into the program.[14]
