  • Publication number: 20180225083
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling the generating and modifying of sound elements is provided. A sound engine includes or is linked to one or more sound modification interfaces that enable one or more users to access a digital waveform generator/modifier utility (“digital audio generator”, “digital envelope generator”), so as to graphically map aspects of that audio waveform's generation, by tracing one or more Bezier paths defined that can be processed by the sound engine, so as to define or modify aspects of the waveform, such as its frequency, pitch and amplitude envelopes, harmonic structure, the timing or pitch of component waveform elements, or directly upon the waveform. The sound engine enables user manipulation of the Bezier paths, including touch input modification of the paths (e.g. dragging, forming etc.) that define or modify fundamental qualities of the corresponding waveform.

  • Patent number: 9082381
    Abstract: A computer system for enabling generation/controlling/modification of sound elements is provided. A computer program defines a sound engine. The sound engine includes or is linked to one or more musical composition interfaces that enable one or more users to access a music generator/controller/modifier utility (“music generator”), so as to graphically map one or more musical notes by tracing one or more Bezier paths defined that are processable by the music generator so as to define the four fundamental note qualities: Tone, pitch, volume and duration. The music generator enables user manipulation of the Bezier paths, including touch input modification of the paths (e.g. dragging, forming etc.) that modify fundamental qualities of the corresponding note.
