Abstract
The invention concerns a music generating method which consists in: an operation defining musical moments during which at least four notes are capable of being played, for example, bars or half-bars; an operation defining two families of note pitches, for each musical moment, the second family of note pitches having at least one note pitch which does not belong to the first family; an operation forming at least a succession of notes having at least two notes, each succession of notes being called a musical phrase, succession wherein, for each moment, each note whereof the pitch belongs exclusively to the second family is exclusively surrounded with notes of the first family; and an operation producing the output of a signal representing each pitch of each succession of notes.
Claims41
An automatic music generation procedure, wherein it comprises:
- an operation of defining musical moments during which at least four notes are capable of being played;
- an operation of defining two families of note pitches, for each musical moment, the second family of note pitches having at least one note pitch which is not in the first family;
- an operation of forming at least one succession of notes having at least two notes, each succession of notes being called a musical phrase, in which succession, for each moment, each note whose pitch belongs exclusively to the second family is surrounded exclusively by notes of the first family;
- and
- an operation of outputting a signal representative of each note pitch of each said succession.
An automatic music generation system, wherein it comprises:
- a means of defining musical moments during which at least four notes are capable of being played;
- a means of defining two families of note pitches, for each musical moment, the second family of note pitches having at least one note pitch which is not in the first family of note pitches;
- a means of forming at least one succession of notes having at least two notes, each succession of notes being called a musical phrase, in which succession, for each moment, each note whose pitch belongs exclusively to the second family is surrounded exclusively by notes of the first family;
- and
- a means of outputting a signal representative of each note pitch of each said succession.
