ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for composing and performing music on an electronic instrument in which individual chord progression chords can be triggered in real-time, while simultaneously making the individual notes of the chord, and/or possible scale and non-scale notes to play along with the chord, 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 the defined customary scale or customary scale equivalent of a song key. Further, as each chord is played in the chord progression section, the individual notes of the currently triggered chords are simultaneously made available for playing in separate fixed locations on the instrument. Fundamental and alternate notes of each chord may be made available for playing in separate fixed locations for composing purposes. Possible scale and/or non-scale notes to play along with the currently triggered chord, may also be simultaneously made available for playing in separate fixed locations on the instrument. All composition data can be stored in memory or on a storage device, and can later be retrieved and performed by a user from a fixed location on the instrument. The composition data may also be performed from a reduced number of input controllers. Further, multiple instruments of the present invention can be utilized together to allow interaction among multiple users during composition and/or performance, with no knowledge of music theory required.
