Abstract
This invention provides a system capable of delivering recorded music pieces to users and empowering the users with control features allowing for customization of the music. Recorded music pieces may be stored and recalled when selected by a user. Each musical piece may include one or more music modules corresponding to one or more musical instruments of The piece. Through a selection menu, the user may select one or more of the modules for inclusion in a customized version of The selected recorded music piece. The user may further adjust the pitch and/or tempo of the musical piece. Once customized by the user, the recorded musical piece may be integrated with sounds created by the user performing a selected musical instrument or instruments. The user may also select predefined special effect setup information module(s) that may be loaded into the signal processor capable of emulating the sonic characteristics of the recording of the recorded music piece. This integrated sound may thus mimic the original recorded music piece.
