  • Patent number: 9177540
    Abstract: A system and method for conforming an audio input to a musical key. Audio input is received and the musical key is determined. Sequentially for each consecutive note, a pitch value for each note and an interval between each preceding and subsequent note is determined; alternative subsequent notes based on the musical key and the pitch value of the subsequent note are determined; each interval between each alternative subsequent note and each respective note of the alternative subsequent notes corresponding to the preceding note is scored based on the interval between the preceding note and the subsequent note of the audio input; and a best interval is selected for each alternative subsequent note. A best-match note is selected for each note of the audio input based on the best intervals of all the notes, and each audio input note is conformed to a frequency of the best-match note.

  • Patent number: 8785760
    Abstract: A method for applying audio effects to one or more tracks off musical compilation is disclosed. The method comprises identifying a first virtual musician to be associated with a first instrument track; identifying a first virtual producer to be associated with the first instrument track; applying a first series of effects to the first instrument track, the first series of effects being dependent upon the first virtual musician; and applying a second series of effects to the first instrument track, the second series of effects being dependent upon the first virtual producer.

  • Patent number: 8779268
    Abstract: A system and process for producing a more harmonious musical accompaniment for a musical compilation, the process comprising determining a plurality of probable key signatures for the musical compilation, creating an interval profiling matrix for each of the probable key signatures, finding products of a major key interval profile matrix with each of the interval profiling matrices, summing each of the major key interval products into a running major key sum, finding a product of a minor key interval profile with each of the interval profiling matrices, summing each of the minor key interval products into a running minor key sum, and selecting the most probable key signature from the plurality of probable key signatures by comparing the minor key sum and the major key sum.

  • Publication number: 20140140536
    Abstract: A system and method for enhancing audio, the method including receiving audio input tracks, with at least one audio input track including a restriction parameter, determining a restricted audio input track, where the restricted audio input track is the audio input track including the restriction parameter, manipulating another audio input track based on musical properties of the restricted audio input track, and combining the restricted audio input track and the manipulated audio input track into a single output audio track.

  • Publication number: 20140053711
    Abstract: A system and method of creating harmonizing tracks for an audio input. Audio input is received and a plurality of harmonizing tracks are created based on the received audio input. Each of the plurality of harmonizing tracks are transposed based on a transposition value for each respective track. Individual notes of the harmonizing tracks are manipulated based on a chord strictness threshold and an audio output is provided based on the audio input and the manipulated plurality of harmonizing tracks.

  • Patent number: 8492634
    Abstract: An apparatus for creating a musical composition comprising an audio interface, and audio converter module, and a multi-track compositor module is disclosed. The audio interface operably receives audio from an audio input device and outputting audio to an audio output device. The audio converter module is operably connected to the audio interface to convert audio received via the audio interface into an audio track having one or more partitions. The multi-track compositor module is configured to receive a first audio track and a second audio track and automatically score each partition of the first and second audio tracks based on one or more criteria. The multi-track compositor module is then configured to construct a third audio track from the partitions of the first and second audio tracks based on the scores for each partition. A method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8338686
    Abstract: An apparatus for enhancing audio comprising a first interface and a harmonizing module is disclosed. The first interface receive a first audio segment from a first source. The harmonizing module is coupled to the first interface. The harmonizing module is configured to identify at least one musical property of the first audio segment; calculate a subset of notes that are harmonious with the first audio segment based on the at least one musical property; and select from the subset of notes to generate an audio track to be played substantially synchronously with the first audio segment. A second interface may also be provided to receive a second audio segment from a second source. In this case, the harmonizing module may be configured to generate the audio track by transforming one or more notes of the second audio segment. A method is also provided.
