Abstract

A method of tuning notes in a chord comprising:
receiving activated notes tuned to a first scale;
determining a sustained chord as a group of activated notes whose time of activation exceeds a threshold;
determining a chord type from the group of the activated notes of the sustained chord;
determining the chord interval positions occupied by each of the notes of the sustained chord, and the order and spread of the interval positions; and
returning selected notes of the group based on the determined chord type and order and spread of the interval positions in the chord.
