Wikipedia wrote:Microsoft Songsmith is a Music Composition Software for Microsoft Windows, launched in early 2009. Songsmith immediately generates a musical accompaniment after a voice is recorded. The user can choose different styles of music genres either Pop, R&B, Hiphop, Rock, Jazz, Reggae, or the like and change the tempo of the song. Songsmith has a feature to change the properties of the song which is either to make it joyful, sad, jazzy, and so on.

The software, formerly called MySong, was developed by Microsoft researchers Dan Morris and Sumit Basu, based on a 2008 research project by a University of Washington student, Ian Simon. It is the second commercial project from Microsoft's Microsoft Research, after AutoCollage. Morris and Basu starred in an infomercial that became a viral video due to being unintentionally bad.

The limitations of the software, and the misinterpretations of vocal melody without a backing track has led to a wave of demonstrations, wherein isolated original vocal tracks of well-known songs are run through Songsmith, resulting in grossly mismatched chord sequences.
