US 11,651,758 B2 · Automatic orchestration of a MIDI file

Abstract

An electronic device segments a first and second MIDI files into pluralities of source segments and target segments. For each of a plurality of consecutive pairs of first and second target segments, the electronic device identifies a first source segment corresponding to the first target segment of the consecutive pair and identifies a second source segment corresponding to the second target segment of the consecutive pair, where the first and second source segments are identified by determining that the first and second source segments are harmonically conformant to the corresponding first and second target segments, and determining that a transition between the first and second source segments is graphically conformant to a transition between a consecutive pair of source segments. The electronic device generates a third MIDI file using the identified first and second source segments for each of the plurality of consecutive pairs of first and second target segments.

Dependent claims

A method of generating a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) file, comprising:

at an electronic device including one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors:
segmenting a first MIDI file into a plurality of source segments;
segmenting a second MIDI file into a plurality of target segments;
for each of a plurality of consecutive pairs of first and second target segments:
identifying a first source segment corresponding to the first target segment of the consecutive pair;
and
identifying a second source segment corresponding to the second target segment of the consecutive pair;
wherein identifying the first and second source segments comprises:
determining that the first and second source segments are harmonically conformant to the corresponding first and second target segments;
and
determining that a transition between the first and second source segments is graphically conformant to a transition between a consecutive pair of source segments;
and
generating a third MIDI file using the identified first and second source segments for each of the plurality of consecutive pairs of first and second target segments.
