Abstract
In this paper, we presents a novel music search engine with query by playing the virtual musical instruments. Different from the previous query-by-keywords or query-by-hamming methods, the proposed search engine provides a new input interface, which allows the user to play simulated musical instruments to obtain the audio clip to do search. Since the sounds by playing certain musical instrument have the common standard, query-by-playing can effectively reduce the gap of users’ intention and input signals. In the other hand, search in this way can provide more possibilities for different kinds of people especially for the professionals to accurately retrieve more different types of music.
