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: 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.

Abstract: A sound production control apparatus by which a sound production mode is controlled on the basis of a player's motion even during a non-playing control operation period. An information obtaining unit 30 obtains detection information by detecting a player's motion. A sound processing unit 36 produces sound on the basis of the detection information obtained in response to operation for generating a sound trigger in the player's motion, and controls a sound production mode on the basis of the detection information obtained in response to operation for generating no sound trigger in the player's motion.

Abstract: A hand-held controller (100) for a computer is disclosed. The controller is substantially U-shaped and has front and IN rear sections (110, 130) spaced apart by a link section (140). The controller fits onto the user's hand in use so that the rear section (130) lies over the back of the hand and the front section (110) lies in the palm of the hand. The front section includes a user interface, such as a keypad, touchpad or touch area (120), to receive inputs from the user's fingers. The controller may also include a gyroscope and an accelerometer to determine the orientation and movement of the controller. The controller further comprises a transmitter for transmitting data relating to the user inputs to the computer, the data causing the computer system to carry out one or more pre-assigned actions. The pre-assigned action may comprise playing or altering an audio sound, or changing the key, pitch, tone, sound quality or volume of the audio sound. A control system for a computer comprising two hand-held controllers is also disclosed. The hand-held controllers may be the same, or one may be configured to receive only orientation and movement user inputs. A computer system comprising two hand-held controllers and a computer is also disclosed. In preferred embodiments, the computer system is a musical instrument emulator.

Abstract: A method for controlling an audio output comprises playing a first audio file having a first tempo, measuring a first heart rate of a user, determining whether the first heart rate of the user is greater than a target heart rate, and playing a second audio file having a second tempo, the second tempo is slower than the first tempo, responsive to determining that the first heart rate of the user is greater than the target heart rate.
