A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887567B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for adjusting notes of a first musical piece based on chord data of a second musical piece. The method involves accessing data of both musical pieces, comparing the notes of the first piece to the chord data of the second piece, and dynamically adjusting the music loop by changing the function of notes based on the comparison. Additionally, the method includes accessing chord progressions, chord scales, and storing music clips for further adjustments, allowing for a comprehensive and interactive musical composition process.

Furthermore, the patent extends to a non-transitory computer-readable media and a system comprising memory storing instructions and processors executing the instructions to perform the method. The system allows for efficient processing of musical data, including accessing, comparing, and adjusting notes based on chord data. It also enables key changes, storing music clips for variations, and dynamically adjusting music loops. Overall, the patented technology offers a sophisticated approach to musical composition by integrating chord data analysis with note adjustments, providing a versatile tool for musicians and composers to enhance their creative process and produce unique musical pieces.
