摘要： A music application guides a user with some musical experience through the steps of creating and editing a musical enhancement file that enhances and plays in synchronicity with an audio signal of an original artist's recorded performance. This enables others, perhaps with lesser musical ability than the original artist, to play-along with the original artist by following melodic, chordal, rhythmic, and verbal prompts. The music application accounts for differences in the timing of the performance from a standard tempo by guiding the user through the process of creating a tempo map for the performance and by associating the tempo map with MIDI information of the enhancement file. Enhancements may contain MIDI information, audio signal information, and/or video signal information which may be played back in synchronicity with the recorded performance to provide an aural and visual aid to others playing-along who may have less musical experience.

摘要： A control circuit for use with a guitar or other musical instrument having an electromechanical pickup for converting natural vibrations of the instrument into electrical signals amplified or otherwise conditioned by a sound system to produce a derivative sound, controls a given parameter, such as the loudness or intensity, of the derivative sound and includes one or more pads of electrically conductive material fixed to the instrument and defining one or more discrete areas on the outer surface of the instrument which are sensitive to such discrete areas being touched by or brought into close proximity to a finger, hand or other body part of the performer, thereby allowing the performer to easily and quickly make changes in the given parameter of the derivative sound.
