Relativistic electronic musical instrument

A method for electronically producing music comprising the steps of:

• generating electronic signals by selecting keys on an input device;
• receiving the electronic signals generated by selecting keys on said input device in an input/output control circuit;
• providing program instructions for converting said electronic signals generated by selecting keys on said input device into signals respectively indicating sounds to be reproduced;
• processing the electronic signals generated by selecting keys on said input device according to the program instructions so that the electronic signals generated by said input device controls interval changes in pitch;
• generating output signals obtained as a result of said processing;
• and
• converting said output signals into signals respectively indicating the sounds to be produced.

A tangible medium storing instructions for implementing a process, the instructions instructing an apparatus to generate sounds in accordance with the selection of keys by a user, said tangible medium storing instructions instructing the apparatus to implement the steps of:

• receiving electronic input signals from an input device having a plurality of keys, each one of said electronic input signals indicating the selection of one of said plurality of keys on said input device and identifying the respective selected key;
• processing each one of said electronic input signals from said input device to obtain respectively corresponding output signals, each one of said output signals representing a musical note which is obtained by adjusting the pitch value of a musical note represented by the previous one of said output signals according to a diatonic interval change in pitch value attributed to the selected key identified by the respectively corresponding one of said electronic input signals;
• and
• outputting said output signals to a device for generating musical notes.
