Abstract
Techniques are disclosed herein for generating harmonious audio. An input for changing a mode of an electronic device from a first mode to a second mode can be received and, in response, a controller of the electronic device can modify electrical connections between a matrix circuit and a set of keys of the electronic device. In modifying the electrical connections, a set of tones associated with a first subset of keys of the set of keys can be associated with a second subset of keys of the set of keys. Keys of the second subset of keys can be adjacent to at least one other key of the second subset of keys and tones of the set of tones can be associated with respective keys of the second subset of keys. Audio output when one key is operated can be harmonious with audio output when other keys are operated.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- causing an electronic device comprising a plurality of keys to operate in a harmonious audio mode in which each key of the plurality of keys, when depressed in the harmonious audio mode, causes the electronic device to output a sound corresponding to a note within a single musical scale.
An electronic device comprising:
- a plurality of keys;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:
- causing the electronic device to operate in a harmonious audio mode in which each key of the plurality of keys, when depressed in the harmonious audio mode, causes the electronic device to output a sound corresponding to a note within a single musical scale.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an electronic device to perform operations comprising:
- causing the electronic device to operate in a harmonious audio mode in which each key of a plurality of keys of the electronic device, when depressed in the harmonious audio mode, causes the electronic device to output a sound corresponding to a note within a single musical scale.
