ABSTRACT:
A method for composing and performing music on an electronic instrument are provided. The method provides a technique in which individual chord progression chords can be triggered in real-time, while simultaneously generating the individual notes of the chord, and/or possible scale and non-scale notes to play along with the chord, and making them available for playing in separate fixed-locations on the instrument. The method of composition involves the designation of a chord progression section on the instrument, then assigning chords or individual chord notes to this chord progression section according to a song key's defined customary scale or customary scale equivalent song keys and scales. Further, as each chord is played in the chord progression section, the individual notes of the currently triggered chords are generated and simultaneously made available for playing in a separate fixed location on the instrument. Fundamental and alternate (fifth) notes of each chord may be generated and made available in separate fixed locations for composing purposes. Possible scale and non-scale notes, to play along with the currently triggered chord, can also be generated and simultaneously made available for playing in separate fixed locations on the instrument. Finally, a method of storing all composition data in memory, or on a storage device, in which all of this composition sequenced data can later be retrieved and performed by the user from a fixed location on the instrument, and on a reduced number of input controllers or keys.
