An electronic system can generate music related data based on capacitive sensed inputs. The system can include a plurality of capacitance sensor inputs for receiving connection to a plurality of capacitance sensors. At least one activation input can be included for receiving at least one activation signal generated in response to a physical action on the system. A control section can be coupled to the capacitive sensor inputs and the at least one activation input, the control section including at least one processor for sensing the capacitance at each capacitive sense input and generating sense position information therefrom.
