Hand-held music-creation device

摘要

A hand-held music-creation device has a plurality of stored samples of sound. The device has an interface comprising a grid, where the rows represent channels in which samples may be selected and the columns represent loop measures. The device allows the user to select which samples are to be played in a given loop measure. A loop is created by assigning samples to available loop measures. The user may hear the resulting composition, comprising a loop repeating indefinitely. Each device may be connected to at least one other device to form a system. The system allows the creation of a longer loop and/or allows an increase in sample selection for each loop measure in the loop.
