  • Publication number: 20240233692
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer-readable storage medium that generate a harmonized musical piece. The method includes receiving a chord selection including a musical key and a scale selection, generating, within a digital audio work session, a chord progression sequence based on the received chord selection, in response to a detected chord selection change, modifying the chord progression sequence to include a chord progression corresponding to the chord selection change, setting the chord progression sequence as a master sequence, in response to detecting a second progression sequence within the digital audio work session, transmitting an identifier to the second progression sequence setting it as a slave sequence, and establishing a synchronized communication link between the master and the slave sequences such that changes made in the master sequence are automatically effectuated in the slave sequence, and combining the master sequence and the slave sequence to form a composed musical piece.

  • Publication number: 20030041366
    Abstract: A multi-size cap is capable of fitting head sizes of most wearers. Its crown is formed by multiple woven fabrics with high extensibility. An elastic band with high extensibility is sewn to the lower edge of the woven fabrics of the multi-size cap in some embodiments. Because the elastic band is partly exposed outside, the cap is capable of fitting wearers having different head sizes with comfort, and may be suitable for more than 95 percent of potential wearers. The cap eliminates the inconvenience of adjusting the cap and reduces the cost of manufacture. Other embodiments stitch the band to the lowermost extremity of the crown with band overlapping the crown.
