Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for generating drum patterns. In one embodiment a method includes receiving a user generated input including a plurality of events during a time interval, and detecting the events. The method also includes analyzing the events to define a rhythmic pattern based on number of events detected, placement of each event in the time interval, and duration of the time interval. Each of the plurality of events may be classified into at least one type of drum pattern element and a drum pattern may be generated based on the rhythmic pattern to include a drum element for each event of the rhythmic pattern. In certain embodiments, pitch or tone of the events may be determined to classify events as components of a drum pattern. Processes and devices allow for professional sounding drum patterns to be output based on received input.
