Priority Data: 09/013,353 26.01.1998 US Title: PHRASE AND RHYTHM ENGINES FOR MUSIC GENERATION Abstract: A rhythm engine (18) for an electronic musical instrument provides a plurality of rhythm structure tables (30) selectable by a user through a rhythm table selector (34). Each rhythm table (30) corresponds to a particular rhythmic beat or pattern and defines a series of trigger events in time and magnitude (velocity). A gesture controller (12) generates a series of musical note signals, each of which includes a note-on signal and a note-off signal. These musical note signals are then input to the rhythm engine (18), processed along with the selected rhythm structure table (30), and output as processed musical note trigger signals at timing intervals dictated by the selected rhythm structure table (30) and with corresponding velocities also dictated by the rhythm structure table (30). The rhythm structure table selection may be changed as a user plays, either by the user or automatically as dictated by a prerecorded musical piece being played along with by the user. Processed musical note trigger signals may then be applied to other conventional components of a digital music system. A phrase engine (16) is also provided which provides a plurality of phrase structure tables (40) and operates similarly to the rhythm engine (18) above except that phrases differ from rhythms in that phrases contain note values as well as duration and velocity information and may contain polyphonic information.
