     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     a) Field of Invention 
     
         
         
           
             This Instant Music Composing/Music Producing Software and Algorithm referred to as “iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer” is useful in the Music Production and Songwriting and Composing areas within the Music Industry; comparable to Digital Music Production Software such as ‘Fruity Loops”, Logic, Cubasic, and Protools. 
           
         
       
    
     b) Classification Definition 
     
         
         
           
             According to the U.S. Patent Classification System—Classification Definitions, for this “iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer” is Class 84/609. Class Definition for 84/609 is MUSIC/NOTE SEQUENCE (also 408 should be acknowledge as a subclass); Also Class 700/67/94 DATA PROCESSING: GENERIC CONTROL SYSTEMS OR SPECIFIC APPLICATION/DIGITAL AUDIO DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM (also 381 should be acknowledge as a subclass) 
           
         
       
    
     Theses class definitions above herein provides for utility patents claiming Music Utility Software and Algorithm as a succession of musical notes is sequentially processed by digital memory circuit for performance or comparison. This subclass 67 refers to plural sensed conditions or plural signals developed from a single sensed condition are utilized to generate a control system signal. And Subclass 94 whereas the particular art or field is the processing of digital data which represents an audio signal.
         (1) Note. This subclass is limited solely to audio data processing systems that are not classified elsewhere.   (2) Note. An “audio signal” is an electrical signal which represents spoken or other sounds which vary with time, and may be in digital or analog form (this form implies a conversion to digital form before the digital data processing).   (3) Note. Nominal recitation of “audio” is not sufficient to afford classification herein of an invention which would be otherwise classified elsewhere.       

     Lastly, subclass 381 covers Electrical Audio Signal Processing Systems and Devices, appropriate subclasses. 
     c) Description of Prior Model 
     
         
         
           
             The industry has done well with Digital Music Production Software such as ‘Fruity Loops”, Logic, Cubasic, and Protools. These programs are used to arrange, compose, and produce songs. These programs also have database capabilities to store sounds and “loops” samples to help a non-musician producer create music compositions using whats already pre-recorded in the software. However, never has there been an extra added convenience of having a computer which can create melodies, select arrangements, and structure sequences to create new songs to an infinite degree like the “iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer”. Music Producers and Songwriters sometimes suffer from writers block and cannot always come up with fresh new ideas, or, music producers and songwriters may become too busy to produce all the songs their obligated to create and arrange. The iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer can create songs to an infinite degree from its pre-stored database of loops, samples, musical instrument sound, etc., that ultimately can create unlimited new songs. Uniquely, Producers and Songwriters can upload their own loops and sounds, etc. into the computer and iTDO Digital Music System&#39;s permutation and combination software algorithm will be able to sequence unlimited songs with their sound. Also, anyone who needs to complete a music project but do not know how to produce can purchase the iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer software and have it create songs from its generic pre-stored database of loops, samples, music instrument sound, etc., that ultimately can create unlimited new songs. If they want deluxe editions which will have a digital blueprint of the special sounds and pre-programmed melody patterns and production styles from renowned star producers, however the software will cost more. Lastly, if anyone desires to sing on any of the new tracks created by the iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer software, the software also has a component whereas if a non-singer simply records their own voice singing a song, the software will be able to apply a melody (which will be generated by the software) to the recorded voice, quantize the timing and correct the notes, pitch and tonality.

     DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Introduction: “iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer” 
     Clarifications
         Music Producers and Songwriters sometimes suffer from writers block and cannot always come up with fresh new ideas, or, music producers and songwriters may become too busy to produce all the songs their obligated to create. The iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer can create songs of any genre of music globally from its pre-stored database of loops, samples, music instrument sound, etc., that ultimately can create unlimited new songs. Uniquely, Producers and Songwriters can also upload their own loops and sounds, etc. into the computer and iTDO Digital Music System&#39;s permutation and combination software algorithm will be able to sequence unlimited songs with their sound.   Anyone who needs to complete a music project but do not know how to produce can purchase the iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer software and have it create songs from its generic pre-stored database of loops, samples, music instrument sound, etc., that ultimately can create unlimited new songs. If they want deluxe editions which will special sounds from star producers, however the software will cost more.   Every new composition will be associated with a digital computer generated “blueprint” of itself which will be stored and filed into a database so it can instantly be referenced and found when necessary. The necessity to reference and find the “blueprint” of the composition is so that if the software utility creates a sequence and composition that was already created, produced and composed, the iTDO Digital Music System system will alert the user, prohibit the user from saving the sequence and composition, and request user to try again. The iTDO Digital Music System system will require user to register software online, and, register each composition created online on the iTDO Digital Music System website utility. Every composition and sequence written and produced by the iTDO Digital Music System software is owned and is the property of iTDO Digital Music System creators and owners. If a producer(s) later alter, add to, re-arrange or change the musical composition that was originally created using the iTDO Digital Music System Solution, the resulting composition will still be the copyrighted property of the iTDO Digital Music System owner and creators.   Anyone who desires to sing on any of the new tracks created by the iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer software, the software also has a component whereas if a non-singer simply records their own voice singing a song, the software will be able to apply a melody (which will be generated by the software) to the recorded voice, quantize the timing and correct the notes, pitch and tonality.       

     Identifies and Defines Purpose
         The purpose of “iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer” is to provide extra added convenience, higher volume of song output, and reliable quality by having the computer select arrangements and sequences to create new songs.       

     The “iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer” software is based on the algorithm designed and formulated to manipulate various pre-recorded and digitized sounds and musical loops compiled and stored in a database so it can be randomly selected and structured into a song format. 
     iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer uploads musical loops and sounds into a database and categorized; each input automatically goes into either a database of musical “loops”, all sounds goes into a “sound bank” which allows the software access to the sound when it is about to chose a sound, and form a music melody with the sound, as well as into a database which categorizes by instruments. This would be accomplished when the software is placed in “Upload Mode”. 
     iTDO Digital Music System—The Automated Digital Producer and Composer selects pre-recorded sounds and loops, and combined them and arrange them into songs. For example: the software will knows the time signature, pitch, tempo, tone, and key of any pre-recorded sound or loop, so, it can match these elements to prevent sonic incompatibility, and to assure perfect musical blends. The software also knows various song structures and formats; therefore it can isolate and arrange section of loops and sounds and properly place them into a song arrangement and format. This would be accomplished when the software is placed in “song mode”.
