Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A system for generating musical sounds uses rule-based algorithms to create rich and complex musical structures based upon a hierarchical framework or grid. Each rule, when triggered, automatically generates additional musical complexity based upon transitions between musical objects at a higher level in the hierarchy. The user can influence the music being generated by varying the number and configuration of the rules.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 27, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 27, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 27, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
