Abstract
In the present invention, a user is capable of choosing manually or automatically a point on a chosen keyboard where a division will occur. For musical/artistic reasons, this point must regularly change. To accommodate this need, the user can store that location in an existing preset/restore system and recall it upon demand with other settings.
Claims7
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a controller in communication with at least one processor, incoming note data input on demand from a musical instrument;
- generating a split point of the musical instrument, wherein the split point is generated by a routine which includes determining an address of a lowest held note and a highest held note by crawling through an array from bottom to top to determine the address of the lowest active note and crawling through an array from top to bottom to determine the address of the highest active note;
- providing a selector which can be set to either automatic or manual mode;
- storing, by the at least one processor, a routine corresponding to the incoming note data input;
- recalling, from non-volatile memory, values from each preset pressed, wherein each value is stored until the next preset is recalled, and using the selected value in a current overall preset during a live playing.
