    摘要: This invention discloses a switching system for any odd or even number of two or more matched vibrations sensors, such that all possible circuits of such sensors that can be produced by the system are humbucking, rejecting external interferences signals. The sensors must be matched, especially with respect to response to external hum and internal impedance, and be capable of being made or arranged so that the responses of individual sensors to vibration can be inverted, compared to another matched sensor, placed in the same physical position, while the interference signal is not. Such that for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 sensors, there exist 1, 6, 25, 90, 301, 966 and 3025 unique humbucking circuits, respectively, with signal outputs that can be either single-ended or differential. Embodiments of switching systems include electro-mechanical switches, programmable switches, solid-state digital-analog switches, and micro-controller driven solid state switches using time-series to spectral-series transforms to pick the order of tones from bright to warm and back.

    摘要: Presented is a method for controlling an electronic stringed instrument. Embodiments of electrical stringed instruments according to the present invention can be actual stringed instruments or virtual representations of stringed instruments. The methods provide a way in which to teach and play electronic stringed instruments which allow a novice musician to focus on a small portion of playing of a stringed instrument while maintaining overall musicality and ability to play the instrument.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting vibrations in one or more strings of a stringed input device, detecting contact between the string and a contact in an array of contacts. The contacts detected and the vibrations can be registered, processed, and interpreted as musical notes. In some embodiments, the vibration inputs are only registered if they are intended inputs rather than inputs caused by the mechanical coupling of vibrations across the strings.

    摘要: A vacuum tube amplification unit for use with electric instruments that allows for reduced or eliminated signal loss before the electrical signal of the instrument is amplified. The vacuum tube amplification unit includes an amplifier cartridge having an amplification circuit. The amplification cartridge is attached to and electrically connected to an instrument through a cartridge receiver. A pre-amp assembly of the amplification circuit provides a first stage of amplification, while an at least one vacuum tube provides a second stage of amplification. A power supply provides current to amplify the electrical signal of the instrument and a gain control allows for adjusting the magnitude of amplification. The amplification circuit may further include an integrated speaker, a signal converter, a transmitter, and a device terminal. Additionally, the amplifier cartridge may further include a device dock for attaching an electronic device.
