Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing music on an electronic instrument in which individual chord progression chords can be triggered in real-time, while simultaneously making the individual notes of the chord, and/or possible scale notes and non-scale notes to play along with the chord, available for playing in separate fixed-locations on the instrument. The method of performance involves the designation of a chord progression section on the instrument, then assigning chords or individual chord notes to this chord progression section according to the defined customary scale or customary scale equivalent of a song key. Further, as each chord is played in the chord progression section, the individual notes of the currently triggered chords are simultaneously made available for playing in separate fixed locations on the instrument. Fundamental and alternate notes of each chord may be made available for playing in separate fixed locations for performance purposes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing music on an electronic instrument in which individual chord progression chords can be triggered in real-time, while various individual notes of the chord, and/or possible scale notes and non-scale notes to play along with the chord, can be generated from separate fixed locations on the instrument, and in different octaves. The method of performance involves the designation of a chord progression section on the instrument, then assigning chords or individual chord notes to this chord progression section according to the defined customary scale or customary scale equivalent of a song key. Further, as each chord is played in the chord progression section, various individual notes of the currently triggered chords can be generated from separate fixed chord locations on the instrument, and in different octaves. Fundamental and alternate notes of each chord can be generated from separate fixed chord locations on the instrument for composing purposes, and in different octaves.

Abstract: A method for composing and performing music on an electronic instrument are provided. The method provides a technique in which individual chord progression chords can be triggered in real-time, while simultaneously generating the individual notes of the chord, and/or possible scale and non-scale notes to play along with the chord, and making them available for playing in separate fixed-locations on the instrument. The method of composition involves the designation of a chord progression section on the instrument, then assigning chords or individual chord notes to this chord progression section according to a song key's defined customary scale or customary scale equivalent song keys and scales. Further, as each chord is played in the chord progression section, the individual notes of the currently triggered chords are generated and simultaneously made available for playing in a separate fixed location on the instrument.

The method of composition involves the designation of a chord progression section on the instrument, then assigning chords to this chord progression section according to particular song keys and scales. Further, as each chord is played in the chord progression section, the individual notes of the currently triggered chords are simultaneously made available for playing in a separate fixed location on the instrument. Fundamental and alternate (fifth) notes of each chord may be made available in separate fixed locations for composing purposes.
