Abstract
A divisi process in which different samplings are provided of full section, half a section, quarter section, etc. When a first note on input is received, the note is assigned to the full section. When a subsequent note on input is received, it is assigned to a half section. At that time, the volume of the full section may be reduced. Upon receiving further note on inputs, the notes may be assigned to another half section or to a quarter section depending on the number of notes being played simultaneously. The volume of notes being played is adjusted when a new note is added.
Claims20
A computerized method for sounding notes triggered by an input device coupled to a processor, comprising:
- receiving at the processor a first “note on” input from the input device;
- assigning by the processor the first note to be sounded by a group of designated instruments;
- receiving at the processor a subsequent “note on” input from the input device;
- assigning by the processor the subsequent note to be sounded by a sub-group comprising a smaller number of the designated instruments.
A program configured for, when executed on a processor, cause the processor to perform note allocations to a section or to a sub-section, by executing the functions comprising:
- receiving a “note on” input;
- interrogating a first decision block to determine whether the section is already assigned a note and,
- when the section is not already assigned a note, assigning the “note on” input to the section;
- when the section is already assigned a note, assigning the “note on” to the sub-section;
- wherein the section comprises a sounding of x number of musical instruments and the sub-section comprises a sounding of no more than x−1 musical instruments.
