The use of morphtable instruments can be simply stated as enabling computer generated music to attempt the nuances of music made by an instrument like a piano. A piano played by a musician can sound different depending on the musician even if the same piano is used. Each player might have differences in his timing and in his striking of the piano keys. Similarly, morphtable instruments although based on computers generating the music can also be interacted by the musician who is using the 3D computer music technology. Just as a musical instrument has various sounds depending on the player so does the computer generated musical technology depending on the player. Variations depending on player add another dimension to computer generated music which involves knowledge of musical scores as well as computer inputting techniques. A musical score can be written on morphtable instruments that can be as unique as the individual who is doing the recording of the musical score.
