  • Publication number: 20190287502
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for generating an output file including steps of generating audio or MIDI content blocks from one or more musical performances; receiving an input file having audio or MIDI music content; determining a chord structure and tempo for the input file; generating a harmonic chord map from the chord structure and tempo for the input file; using the harmonic chord map to automatically select content blocks, and generating the output file by combining the selected content blocks and the input file. The invention enables the creation of unique and new musical accompaniments by re-purposing audio or MIDI content from back catalogs and/or out-takes of musical works. The new arrangement may be provided in multiple music styles, genres, or moods and may contain performances from multiple musical instruments, which may be pre-recorded from live instrument performances and/or of MIDI generated musical content.

  • Publication number: 20180076913
    Abstract: A system and method for generating an audio output file are provided. The method includes using one or more processors to perform steps of: receiving audio tracks, each audio track created according to audio parameters; separating each audio track into at least one selectable audio block, each audio block including audio content from a musical instrument involved in creating the audio track; assigning a unique identifier to each audio block; using the unique identifiers to select audio blocks, and generating the audio output by combining the audio blocks. The present invention prevents the use of the same combination of audio blocks in the generation of audio output to ensure that the audio output files generated a sufficiently unique. Also provided are audio file recording, editing and mixing modules enabling a user to have full creative control over mix and other parameters to modify as desired the audio file generated.
