Abstract
A computerized system for enabling a user to compose a song comprises displaying a compose song screen to the user on a video display, the compose song screen including a play bar associated with the current time position of the song; enabling the user to create a first track of the song, wherein the track is associated with an instrument selected by the user, wherein notes of the instrument are assigned to respective keys on a computer keyboard, and wherein the user chooses a tempo for the song, wherein, upon initiating of recording of the track, keys pressed by the user on the keyboard (i) are translated into visual notes on the screen that move, at the tempo, across the play bar and (ii) generate audio output that corresponds to notes from the selected instrument. Multiple tracks, for different instruments, can be created and combined to create a multi-track song.
