Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-ion sensor (1) for measuring ions in aqueous systems comprising a flexible or semi-flexible substrate (11), a reference electrode (13) applied to the substrate (11), at least three working electrodes (15a, 15b, 15c) applied to the substrate (11), wherein the substrate (11), the reference electrode (13) and the working electrodes (15a, 15b, 15c) form an ion-selective sensor unit (101), a connection device (17) for the ion-selective sensor unit (101) and a sensor housing (19) which accommodates an assembly of ion-selective sensor unit (101) and connection device (17), wherein the reference electrode (13) has dimensions of max. 4 mm×4 mm×4 mm. The present invention is furthermore directed to a flow measuring cell (3) for measuring ions in aqueous systems as well as to a respective method for measuring ions in aqueous systems and a system for measuring ions in aqueous systems and for adjusting the ion contents in the aqueous systems.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include storing musical elements in a database and processing performance data, where the musical elements including a plurality of reference accent pattern data and a plurality of reference system pattern data. Processing performance data can include receiving input data corresponding to a musical performance, determining an accent pattern for the musical performance, matching the accent pattern data to one or more reference accent pattern data in the database, and selecting one of the matching reference accent patterns. Processing performance data further includes receiving input corresponding to a selection of a musical style, one or more musical performance parameters, and generating a musical accompaniment based on the processed performance data, the selected musical style, and the selected one or more musical performance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting audio samples in response to musical stimuli are provided. In some embodiments, an audio sample can be selected based on the excitation state of an instrument. A musical stimulus can be received, and a current excitation level associated with previously received musical stimuli calculated. An audio sample can be selected for playback using the current excitation level. In some embodiments, audio samples having different velocity levels can be selected in response to repeated musical stimuli. A first instance of a musical stimulus having a first velocity level can be received, and a first audio sample corresponding to the first velocity level played back. A second instance of the musical stimulus having the first velocity level can be received, and a second audio sample corresponding to a second velocity level can be selected for playback. The first and second audio samples can have different audio characteristics.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises receiving musical data including reference timing data, and a succession of musical notes arranged with respect to the reference timing data, receiving input corresponding to a selection of a groove template, and altering the arrangement of the notes (shifting in a positive or negative direction) with respect to the reference timing data based on the selected groove template. Altering the arrangement of notes can further include adding additional musical notes to the succession of musical notes to add stylistic embellishments particular to the selected groove template, where one of the selectable groove templates includes adding a shuffle dynamic to the succession of musical notes by determining a positive offset associated with each of the musical notes along the musical bar, and applying the positive offset to each of the musical notes, wherein the positive offset corresponds to the position of the musical note.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are related to a computer-implemented method that includes receiving musical data, identifying a succession of accentuated events in the musical data, determining a pattern in the succession of accentuated events, comparing the pattern to a plurality of reference patterns, and determining a match for the pattern using the plurality of reference patterns. The method further includes selecting one of the matching reference patterns, and generating a rhythmic musical accompaniment for the musical data based on the selected matching reference pattern. In some cases, the musical data is MIDI data or analog audio data. Analog audio data analysis includes detecting transients in the analog audio data by identifying the succession of accentuated event in the musical data. This may include identifying a plurality of events in the musical data, and determining whether each of the plurality of events is an accent.
