    Abstract: An electronic percussion instrument includes a base and a drumhead mounted resiliently on the base so as to be movable relative to the base. A plurality of sensors to detect movement of the drumhead relative to the base are spaced about the drumhead at selected positions to measure displacement of the drumhead relative to the base at said selected positions. At least some of said sensors are adjacent the rim of the drumhead and are responsive to movement of the rim of the drumhead towards and away from the base. The individual sensors respond to the movement at their location and the individual responses of the plurality of sensors are simultaneously measured and compared to determine the location of a hit on the drumhead, the force of the hit, and/or the duration of the hit.

    Abstract: Systems for a touchless musical instrument, where the touchless musical instrument includes: multiple sensors, where each sensor detects a presence of an object within a predetermined distance of the sensor; an audio speaker; a processor electrically connected to the sensors and the audio speaker; and executes instructions on the process to: receive, from the plurality of sensors, an object detection signal indicating a location of the object with respect to the plurality of sensors; generate an audio output signal based on the location of the object indicated by the object detection signal; and generate an audible output from the audio speaker by transmitting the audio output signal to the audio speaker.

    Abstract: A system is described for an enhanced bow piece of a stringed musical instrument. The enhancement includes a visual display element attached to the bow. The appearance of the display changes in response to bow motion, bow position, and one or more user-supplied inputs (e.g. buttons). The system can be entirely self-contained and used as a normal instrument bow, providing a light-up/responsive effect while the user plays their instrument in an otherwise normal way. There is some capability for multiple self-contained units to be locally synchronized, providing group-based visualizations. Alternatively, these devices can be monitored and controlled by an external control system.
