Dynamic adjustment of notes in musical pieces based on chords
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887567B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for adjusting notes of a first musical piece based on chord data of a second musical piece. The method involves accessing data of both musical pieces, comparing the notes of the first piece to the chord data of the second piece, and dynamically adjusting the music loop by changing the function of notes based on the comparison. Additionally, the method allows for changing keys, moving notes to new positions, and combining different music clips to enhance the musical composition.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a non-transitory computer-readable media and a system that store instructions for performing the method described above. These components enable the accessing of musical data, comparison of notes to chord data, and adjustment of notes based on the comparison. The system also allows for key changes, note movements, and the use of different music clips to modify the musical piece. Overall, the patented technology offers a sophisticated approach to harmonizing musical compositions by leveraging chord data and functions of notes to create a more cohesive and dynamic music loop.
