Method, system and computer program for generating an audio output file

Abstract

Techniques described herein provide a computer implemented system, method and computer program for generating an audio output file, the method including steps of: selecting a subset of instrument content blocks from a group of instrument content blocks by determining a musical style for the audio output file, in which the musical style is configured with a plurality of musical slots and each slot is associated with a predetermined musical rule, using the predetermined musical rule for each slot to select a musical template from a plurality of musical templates for the slot, in which the selected musical template defines a chord progression of successive musical chords at a musical key and tempo, selecting for each slot an instrument content block that matches the chord progression defined by the selected musical template, and generating the audio output file by combining the subset of instrument content blocks. The method provides a configuration of musical slots each designated with musical rules that determine a musical template for the audio output file. Instrument content blocks that have a chord progression matching that defined by the template are selected for use together to provide an audio output file that is harmonically pleasing to listen to. User may configure the audio output file with an arrangement of tools.
