Abstract

See full text

Musical instruments that generate notes according to sounds (e.g., vocal sounds) and manually selected scales are provided. Vocal sounds of the user are analyzed to select a note that will be generated in a scale selected by the user. The user can enter the scale or scale constraints by depressing a chord on a keyboard and the vocal sounds can be analyzed to determine which note on the selected scale is closest in pitch to the vocal sounds. Additionally, the generated notes can be augmented in other ways including having the onset and/or offset of the note generated adjusted to correspond to an identified rhythm in the ambient sounds.
