  • Patent number: 10262643
    Abstract: Systems and processes that use MIDI mapping technology for multiple chord and arpeggio triggering are disclosed, including a multiple chord and arpeggio triggering MIDI mapping system and process that assigns, selects, and records chord and multi-arpeggio functions into a digital audio workstation (DAW) host program or an internalized sequencer and a two-phase multiple chord and time-delayed arpeggio triggering MIDI mapping process for recording a chord progression and enabling multi-arpeggio functions of the chords in the chord progression to be worked on at any time-delayed instance after recording the chord progression. The system divides output from a MIDI controller into chord generators and arpeggiators to allow users to define full chords with a single key selection, while also making immediate or time-delayed single key selections for different arpeggios.

  • Patent number: 8642875
    Abstract: A process and a system are disclosed for some embodiments of the invention that map MIDI signals in a manner which always puts the harmony and melody octaves of an electronic MIDI keyboard in perfect pitch for a user of the keyboard. The process of some embodiments includes (i) receiving a selection of a key signature, (ii) receiving a selection of a scale, (iii) organizing the left side octave(s) (“chord” side) into a chord generator that places all scale tones on white keys and applies a chord effect to each white key, relative to the scale tone position, and (iv) organizing the right side octave(s) (“melody” side) into a melody lock that provides multiple settings for mapping the seven scale tones onto white keys.
