US Patent:

8404958, Mar 26, 2013

Filed:

Mar 2, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/039092

Inventors:

Yuval Shrem - Los Angeles CA, US
Amit Itzkovich - Los Angeles CA, US

Assignee:

Fable Sounds, LLC - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G10H 7/00

US Classification:

84645

Abstract:

An advanced MIDI/audio processing system with virtual key-switches. The virtual key-switches are mapped to different musical concepts. As a user presses a key-switch in real time with the playing of musical notes, the musical concept mapped to the key-switch that was pressed is applied. The instrument then switches to a new playing state based on the particular musical concept that was applied. Furthermore, the system is configured to provide a smooth transition between dynamic levels when applying crescendo or diminuendo effects via a modulation wheel. The system also configured to provide enhanced cycling of alternate samples by providing an individual alternate cycle for each note of each articulation in each dynamic level. Furthermore, the system is configured to allow a user to store and recall specific cycle positions, and override an existing cycle to choose a specific alternate sample for a specific note.
