Chord based method of assigning musical pitches to keys

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored there on a set of computer executable instructions for assigning a set of pitches to a plurality of physical keys of an electronic device, said instructions for causing a processor to;

• obtain an input chord,
• disassemble the chord into at least one base note and a plurality of individual voices,
• arrange a predetermined number of voices of the chord according to at least one predefined rule,
• assign at least one set of pitches to a plurality of physical keys of an electronic device, said set of pitches corresponding to the base note and arranged predetermined number of voices of the chord,
• selecting anchor key, having associated therewith an anchor pitch, from the plurality of physical keys of the electronic device, and
• wherein the predetermined number of voices of the chord are arranged in relation to the anchor pitch according to at least one predefined rule such that the anchor pitch is the highest pitch of the set of pitches and the predetermined number of voices are arranged to be the closest possible corresponding lower pitches with regards to the anchor pitch.
