US 11,676,565 B2 · Automatic preparation of a new MIDI file

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of automatically preparing a MIDI file based on a target MIDI file comprising respective note information about each of a plurality of target notes and a source MIDI file comprising respective note information about each of a plurality of source notes. Each note information comprises pitch information defining a pitch of the note. The method comprises ranking the plurality of target notes based on the pitch of each target note. The method also comprises, for each of the ranked target notes, removing the pitch information from the note information of the target note. The method also comprises, for each of the ranked target notes, replacing the removed pitch information with pitch information of a corresponding source note, whereby the target note has the same pitch as the corresponding source note, forming a plurality of new notes of a new MIDI file.

Dependent claims

A method of automatically preparing a Musical Instrument Digital Interface, MIDI, file based on a target MIDI file comprising respective note information about each of a plurality of target notes of the target MIDI file and a source MIDI file comprising respective note information about each of a plurality of source notes of the source MIDI file, each respective note information of a respective target note comprising pitch information defining a pitch of the respective target note and information for one or more non-pitch properties for the respective target note, the method comprising:

ranking the plurality of target notes based on the pitch of each respective target note into a sorted order;
and
for each respective target note of the ranked target notes, replacing the pitch information with pitch information of a corresponding source note while maintaining the one or more non-pitch properties of the respective target note, the corresponding source note selected based on the corresponding source note having (i) a ranking in a sorted order of the plurality of source notes that is the same as (ii) a ranking of the respective target note in the sorted order of the plurality of target notes, thereby forming a plurality of new notes of a new MIDI file.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed by an electronic device with one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a set of operations for automatically preparing a Musical Instrument Digital Interface, MIDI, file based on a target MIDI file comprising respective note information about each of a plurality of target notes of the target MIDI file and a source MIDI file comprising respective note information about each of a plurality of source notes of the source MIDI file, each respective note information of a respective target note comprising pitch information defining a pitch of the respective target note and information for one or more non-pitch properties for the respective target note, the set of operations comprising:

ranking the plurality of target notes based on the pitch of each respective target note;
and
for each respective target note of the ranked target notes, replacing the pitch information with pitch information of a corresponding source note while maintaining the one or more non-pitch properties of the respective target note, the corresponding source note selected based on the corresponding source note having (i) a ranking in a sorted order of the plurality of source notes that is the same as (ii) a ranking of the respective target note in the sorted order of the plurality of target notes, thereby forming a plurality of new notes of a new MIDI file.

An electronic device configured to automatically prepare a Musical Instrument Digital Interface, MIDI, file based on a target MIDI file comprising respective note information about each of a plurality of target notes of the target MIDI file and a source MIDI file comprising respective note information about each of a plurality of source notes of the source MIDI file, each respective note information comprising pitch information defining a pitch of the respective target note and information for one or more non-pitch properties for the respective target note, the electronic device comprising:

one or more processors;
and
memory storing one or more programs, the one or more programs including instructions for:
ranking the plurality of target notes based on the pitch of each respective target note into a sorted order;
and
for each respective target note of the ranked target notes, replacing the pitch information with pitch information of a corresponding source note while maintaining the one or more non-pitch properties of the respective target note, the corresponding source note selected based on the corresponding source note having (i) a ranking in a sorted order of the plurality of source notes that is the same as (ii) a ranking of the respective target note in the sorted order of the plurality of target notes, thereby forming a plurality of new notes of a new MIDI file.
