DISPLAYING AN INPUT AT MULTIPLE OCTAVES
First Claim
1. A method executed on a game platform in signal communication with a display and a microphone, the method comprising:
- receiving, via the microphone, a music performance input data;
displaying, on the display, a first pitch marker reflective of the music performance input data; and
displaying, on the display, substantially simultaneously with the display of the first pitch marker, a second pitch marker at a offset from the first pitch marker, the offset indicative of an octave difference between the first pitch marker and the second pitch marker.

Abstract
Described are methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer program products, for displaying an input at multiple octaves in a rhythm-action game. In one aspect this is accomplished by receiving by a game platform via a microphone, a music performance input data and displaying, on a display in communication with the game platform, a first pitch marker reflective of the music performance input data. Then substantially simultaneously with the display of the first pitch marker, displaying a second pitch marker at an offset, typically vertical, from the first pitch marker, the offset indicative of an octave difference between the first pitch marker and the second pitch marker.

9. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium, the computer program product including instructions operable to cause a data processing apparatus to:
-
receive, via a microphone in signal communication with the data processing apparatus, a music performance input data; display, on a display in signal communication with the data processing apparatus, a first pitch marker reflective of the music performance input data; and display, on the display, substantially simultaneously with the display of the first pitch marker, a second pitch marker at a vertical offset from the first pitch marker, the offset indicative of an octave difference between the first pitch marker and the second pitch marker.

10. A system comprising:
a data processing apparatus configured to; receive, via a microphone in signal communication with the data processing apparatus, a music performance input data; display, on a display in signal communication with the data processing apparatus, a first pitch marker reflective of the music performance input data; and display, on the display, substantially simultaneously with the display of the first pitch marker, a second pitch marker at a vertical offset from the first pitch marker, the offset indicative of an octave difference between the first pitch marker and the second pitch marker.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for receiving, via a microphone in signal communication with the apparatus, a music performance input data; means for displaying, on a display in signal communication with the apparatus, a first pitch marker reflective of the music performance input data; and means for displaying, on the display, substantially simultaneously with the display of the first pitch marker, a second pitch marker at a vertical offset from the first pitch marker, the offset indicative of an octave difference between the first pitch marker and the second pitch marker.
