Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computer-implemented method including generating a user interface implemented on a touch-sensitive display configured to generate a virtual dual flywheel system for modulating a lifecycle of a musical note or chord. The dual flywheel system (DFS) includes a first VFS and a second VFS, where the first virtual flywheel system series connected to the second virtual flywheel system such that an output of the first virtual flywheel system is coupled to an input of the second virtual flywheel system. Upon receiving a user input on the user interface, the dual flywheel system determines a virtual momentum for the first virtual flywheel based on the user input and a predetermined mass coefficient of the first virtual flywheel system, and determines a virtual momentum for the second virtual flywheel based on the virtual momentum of the first virtual flywheel system and a predetermined mass coefficient of the second virtual flywheel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer program product tangibly embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions causing a data processing system to: generate a virtual dual flywheel system including: a first virtual flywheel configured to generate a first virtual momentum based on a user input and a predetermined virtual mass of the first virtual flywheel; and a second virtual flywheel configured to generate a second virtual…
