  • Patent number: 9310959
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2016
    Assignee: ZYA, INC.
    Inventors: Matthew Michael Serletic, II, Ryan Alexander Groves, James Frederick Dennis Mitchell
  • Patent number: 9251776
    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: 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.
