Abstract
Systems and methods are directed to generating music. In one example, an electronic musical instrument includes a first handheld unit. The electronic musical instrument further includes a second handheld unit, the second handheld unit being communicatively coupled to the first handheld unit. The first handheld unit includes a plurality of input controls configured to indicate a selection of a note of a musical scale. The second handheld unit is configured to initiate output of the selected note.
Claims20
An electronic musical instrument comprising:
- a first handheld unit;
- and
- a second handheld unit, the second handheld unit being communicatively coupled to the first handheld unit;
- wherein the first handheld unit comprises a plurality of input controls configured to indicate a selection of a note of a diatonic scale;
- and
- wherein the second handheld unit is configured to initiate output of the selected note.
3 more elements
A computer-implemented method for generating music, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing device, an indication of a note selected at a first handheld unit;
- obtaining, by the computing system, an indication of an octave for the selected note from a second handheld unit;
- obtaining, by the computing device, an indication to initiate output of the selected note from the second handheld unit;
- and
- providing, by the computing device to an output device, one or more signals to generate audio output comprising the selected note.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a first handheld unit comprising a plurality of input controls;
- a second handheld unit comprising a plurality of input controls, the second handheld unit being communicatively coupled to the first handheld unit;
- and
- one or more output devices, the one or more output devices being in communication with the first handheld unit;
- the first handheld unit further comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- determining a selected note based on activation of one or more of the plurality of input controls;
- obtaining an indication of an octave for the selected note from the second handheld unit;
- obtaining an indication to initiate output of the selected note from the second handheld unit, the indication to initiate output of the selected note based at least in part on a determination of movement of the second handheld unit;
- and
- providing one or more signals to the one or more output devices to provide for generation of sound output based on the selected note.
