ABSTRACT:
A system and method for synthesizing musical melodies on a computer displays a plurality of figures on a display device, one or more of which can be selected by a user for conversion into a series of sounds to create a melody to be played through an electronic musical instrument. In operation, various sub-routines stored within a system processor are used to manipulate attributes such as position, shape, color, and size of the displayed figures to generate corresponding sounds having a desired pitch, intensity, timbre, and sound length. The displayed figures are then made to move in accordance with user-selected rules, or with melodies played on an electronic musical instrument. An octave filter or wide range filter may be employed to change other attributes of the individual sounds comprising the melody, or of the entire melody itself.
