摘要:
A frequency-domain peak detector is configured to detect harmonic content of a digital input signal. An equalizer-based feedback synthesizer is configured to generate simulated feedback at a specified frequency by filtering existing content of the digital input signal at the specified frequency. A tone-based feedback synthesizer is configured to generate simulated feedback at the specified frequency by generating a tone at the specified frequency. Feedback selection logic is configured to determine the specified frequency at which to generate simulated feedback based on the harmonic content, and whether to utilize the equalizer-based feedback synthesizer or the tone-based feedback synthesizer to generate simulated feedback at the specified frequency.

A method and process to set the parameters of a Control Algorithm and to synthesize and generate a variety of sounds and vibration that are normally not available on a specific acoustic stringed instrument are disclosed. The technical problems of generating a different timbre, sound and vibration of a stringed acoustic instrument (Controlled Instrument) in real time are solved. The invention describes a process (Cloning Procedure) where specific set of parameters needed to imitate a target instrument are defined; The imitation of the Target Instrument's timbre on the Controlled Instrument is performed by the Control Algorithm which employs two digital Linear-Time-Invariant systems to drive the actuators based on by controlling the actuators with a couple of digital Linear-Time-Invariant systems that receive the vibration signal from the measurement apparatus. The process can be optionally deactivated, thus having the Controlled Instrument acting as a traditional acoustic instrument.

Touch screen user interfaces for controlling software applications, computers, devices, machinery, and process environments with touch gestures. Such user interfaces can be manipulated by users and provide a wide range of uses with computer applications, assistance to the disabled, and control of electronic devices, machines, and processes. Enhancements can include velocity and pressure sensing capabilities. The touch screen can be realized with a touchscreen having a touch sensor array in physical contact with a visual display. Implementations can include a touch screen having a transparent sensor array in physical contact with a visual display to form a touch screen configured to process a touch on the touch screen.

Touchscreen user interfaces for controlling software applications, computers, devices, machinery, and process environments with at least finger flick touch gestures. Such user interfaces can be manipulated by users and provide a wide range of uses with computer applications, assistance to the disabled, and control of electronic devices, machines, and processes. Enhancements can include velocity and pressure sensing capabilities. The touchscreen can be realized with a transparent touch sensor array positioned over a visual display. Dynamically assigned labels can be provided by the visual display. Gestures other than finger flicks can be recognized. Multitouch capabilities can be included that are responsive to additional contact, for example by other parts of a user hand. Displayed visual content, including visual content selection, motion, and sizing, can be controlled by finger flicks and other touch gestures. Finger movement trajectories can be tracked, and pluralities of control parameters can be associated with each gesture.

This invention provides a signal processing and signal synthesis technique from a family of signal processing and signal synthesis techniques designed to readily interwork or be used individually in creating new forms of rich musical timbres. Phase staggered multi-channel signal panning creates spatial perturbation and chase effects for subtle or dramatic application, and may be swept with control signals from a low-frequency oscillator, transient envelope, or other source. Phase-staggering and modulation parameters may be recalled from stored program control or modulated in real-time by arbitrary control signals, including those derived from the original input signal. The invention may be used individually or in conjunction with other signal processing and signal synthesis techniques in creating new forms of rich musical timbres. The invention may also be used in spatially-distributed timbre construction.
摘要:
An electromagnetic (EM) musical instrument system includes an excitation signal generator to generate an excitation signal. The system also includes an excitation signal applier coupled to the excitation signal generator. The excitation signal applier receives the excitation signal and transmits a corresponding excitation signal to an EM musical instrument. The excitation signal applier is further configured to modulate the corresponding excitation signal to produce audio effects. An EM musical instrument, in response to receiving the corresponding excitation signal, generates an EM output signal associated with a produced sound. The system also includes an EM output receiver coupled to the EM musical instrument to receive the EM output signal.
