General synthesizer, synthesizer driver, synthesizer matrix and method for controlling a synthesizer

A method for playback of music using a general synthesizer comprising:

• a music application for managing an entered representation of music and mapping the representation in to a set of input vectors including pitch, duration, and descriptors;
• at least one synthesizer matrix for mapping descriptors into synthesizer specific attributes;
• a matrix driver for creating a data flow using said input vectors and synthesizer matrix;
• at least one synthesizer device controlled by said created data flow, including the steps of:
• the matrix driver building a list of application atomic musical objects AAMOs along with their contexts, each AAMO consisting of one note or a chord with high level descriptors, an indication defined in the synth matrix or no special indication at all;
• breaking apart each AAMO atom and translating it into a recursive lists of internediate musical objects LIMO, to allow further processing, each atomic elements of a LIMO consisting of pitch and duration together with a list of cycling data as well as a list of descriptors;
• translating each element in the LIMO, using the cyclic information to directly describe one or two early musical objects, EMMOs, which can be translated directly into a synthesizer control (MIDI) event;
• translating each EMMO into a synthesizer specific control (MIDI) event SSME;
• selecting a patch and combining the contribution of each descriptor to form all the low level attributes of synthesizer control (MIDI);
• and
• selecting a channel and synthesizer for each SSME.
