Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital music composition software lacks the ability to selectively modulate instruments and rhythmic patterns of multiple genre tracks, resulting in incoherent and unharmonious mashups.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that allows users to upload host and donor tracks, manipulate rhythmic patterns by adjusting intensity, frequency, and rhythm, and integrate them to create a cohesive digital multi-genre composition, using a software application with a digital user interface for editing and playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If digital music software combines portions of two or more audio signals together, then the productivity of music composition is improved, but the coherence and quality of the resulting remix or mashup deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemusic composition efficiencyVSAvoidremix coherence quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The software separates audio signals into distinct musical elements (melody, rhythm, bass, drums) that can be independently manipulated. This segmentation allows precise control over each element's timing, pitch, and volume, enabling coherent integration of multiple genres while maintaining high productivity through automated element-based processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically adjusts key parameters (tempo, pitch, timing) of imported musical elements to match the host track's characteristics. By dynamically changing these parameters, the software ensures harmonic and rhythmic coherence between different genre elements, resolving the contradiction between efficient combining and quality output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the software integrates multiple music tracks with different genres, then the adaptability and versatility of music composition is improved, but the complexity of achieving harmonious integration worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-genre integration capabilityVSAvoidintegration process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The software performs automatic analysis and alignment of musical elements from different genres, eliminating the need for manual synchronization. The system self-adjusts timing, tempo, and pitch of imported elements to match the host track, reducing integration complexity while enhancing multi-genre versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts imported musical elements to the host track's characteristics by automatically adjusting tempo, pitch, and timing in real-time. This dynamic parameter modification enables seamless integration of diverse genres without requiring complex manual configuration, thereby improving versatility while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If automated analysis methods separate and recombine audio signals, then the productivity of music production is improved, but the explainability and coherence of the resulting composition deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemusic production speedVSAvoidcompositional coherence information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The software segments audio into distinct musical elements (melody, rhythm, bass, drums) and processes each separately, preserving the structural information of original compositions. This element-based approach maintains compositional coherence by allowing precise control over how each segment is integrated, while maintaining high productivity through automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides real-time feedback during the integration process, allowing users to review and adjust the coherence of combined elements. This feedback mechanism ensures that automated analysis and recombination maintain compositional integrity and explainability, preventing loss of coherent information while preserving production efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A computer-implemented method of digital music composition that creates a digital multi-genre musical composition track by downloading a host digital music track of a first genre and two or more separate donor multi-genre musical tracks, and then selectively modulating the instruments and rhythmic patterns of the donor musical tracks by manipulating the rhythmic patterns. The manipulation includes manipulating at least one of the intensities, frequency, sound, beat, and rhythm of the rhythmic pattern. The manipulated donor musical tracks are then integrated into the host musical track to create a combined digital multi-genre musical composition track, which can be downloaded, saved in a file, and replayed as needed.
