Apple: Bizarre Synthesizer Patent

This link takes you to a Macnn.com page describing a new synthesizer patent from Apple.

It seems like they are trying to generate soundwaves on a scale that stay within BPM of the music?? I don’t quite understand this.
Maybe it allows some kind of time-stretch that works in realtime for a virtual instrument that is playing notes. This would allow them to pitch shift, render it, and not lose any quality.

Its either that, or some kind of ringtone thing for iPhone.

  1. I bet it’s for a new Logic synth or something, but it seems too simple to be patentable.

    I’m gonna try to implement it in reaktor real quick.

  2. it sounds like apple is trying to patent just intonation. In order to create a “beat” wouldn’t the detuned oscillator have to be certain ratio to the original? There is definitely some obfuscated verbage in the description anyhow
