Musical Instrument Digital Interface with Voice Note Identifications

摘要

A method for generating voice identifications for MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) note signals. The method provides voice identification for every note in MIDI signals, which makes music learning intuitive and easier. The method can be used with any MIDI instruments as a separate unit, or a part of such instruments. Solfege is used as voice identification system since it is widely used in music education. However, any such system can be used or newly devised by preparing a different set of patches.

1. A method for electronic generation of sounds, based on notes in a musical scale, comprising:
assigning respective sounds to said notes, such that each sound is perceived by a listener as qualitatively distinct from a sound assigned to an adjoining note in said musical scale by preparing an additional multiple of independent synthesizers with patches which generate qualitatively distinct sounds and a set of logics in front of said synthesizers, which chooses and drives corresponding said synthesizers based on said notes; receiving an input indicative of a sequence of said notes, chosen from among said notes in said musical scale; and generating an output responsive to said sequence, in which said qualitatively distinct sounds are produced responsive to respective notes in said sequence at respective musical pitches associated with said respective notes by feeding said input to said set of logics.
