ABSTRACT:
A system and method for correction of finger positions for an electronic musical instrument. By adding a correction step in the direction of a nearest grid value, the system can perform correction in a manner that allows for gradual position correction while maintaining a vibrato or glissando shape that is similar to vibrato or glissando shape of the actual finger positions over time. The system and method may be used for pitch correction for a continuous-pitch electronic musical instrument.
