  • System and method for determining music modulation
    Patent number: 6232538
    Abstract: A system for determining a musical modulation from a source key to a target key, such that the source key and the target key are selected from a cycle of musical keys. The system includes a relational tool and a bridging tool. The relational tool is capable of determining a primary modulation reference correlated to the displacement between the source key and the target key. The bridging tool includes a selected set of at least one bridge. The selected set is correlated to the primary modulation reference. The present invention also has a method for determining a musical modulation from a source key to a target key, such that the source key and the target key are selected from a cycle of musical keys.
