In 1989, Hasegawa introduced another breakthrough technologies to the Algorithmic Music Composition for the professional use under the CAMPS (Computer Assisted Music Processing System) project.
Some of features introduced by this new music analyzing tool allow researchers:
- Automated Pitch mapping based on a drawn contour
- Automated detection of annoying Flat 9 Pitch Intervals between music parts
- Automated Voice Leading for music scoring
- Automated Voicing for music arranging
- Automated detection of Anticipation on the given Sheet Music
With the CAMPS technologies, researchers and professional composers are for the first time allowed to experiment thousands of musical results in accordance with different configurations of musical elements such as Avoid Notes, Chord Scale, Modal Harmony, Sub Dominant Minor, e.g., and are, as the result, allowed to focus more on creative parts of music production.
For music producers, CAMPS technologies have helped them significantly reduce production time and cost for technical and theoretical analysis on music pieces inevitably involved in music composing and arranging processes.
These CAMPS technologies were introduced wordwide at various locations and trade shows including Macworld Expo., NAMM and A.E.S. (Audio Engineering Society). Enlarge Slide Show.
CAMPS technologies have been reviewed nationally and overseas by magazines, papers and websites including Digital Video, EQ, Electronic Musician, Keyboard Magazine, DTM Magazine and Computer Music Journal by MIT Press, and adopted by professionals such as musicians, composers, arrangers, recording engineers and college professors in countries including US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.

Particularly in the Hollywood film industry, Michael Backes (a renown technical adviser, screenwriter, associate producer, co. founder of the American Film Institute Media Lab ) demonstrated the best use of the CAMPS technologies in his workshops in association with films such as Rising Sun, Congo, Abyss, Total Recall, Fly 2, Terminator 2, Disclosure, Peacemaker, Jurassic Park, Spider Man 2, etc. Enlarge Photo.
CAMPS technologies have been associated with some of legendary musicians, engineers and producers including Neil Leonard (Assistant Professor at Beklee College of Music), Todd Rundgren (Rock legend), Al Kooper (the original Keyboard player with Bob Dylan), Thomas Dolby (Techno Pop legend), Tom Barney (Bassist with multi Grammy Awarded music legend - Steely Dan), Jay Rose (Emmy Awarded recording engineer) and Herbie Hancock (Multi Grammy/Oscar Awarded Jazz legend).

In 2005, with the iGotGroove project, Hasegawa introduced a one-of-a-kind high-tech educational software program featuring another invention (US Patent Pending) ; Melody Notes being composed and played back in real-time in rapid response to simple hand clapping before PC, without requiring any additional hardware device. See an online sample.
In 2007, Hasegawa introduced anther one-of-a-kind software program - MelodyAnalyzer, that instantly analyzes given Melody Notes, detects appropriate Chords, and harmonizes each of the Notes without requiring any additional hardware device. See online sample.
Currently he's been working on a new product for Apple's iPhone. This software product is expected to be released in 2010.
