A performance information output control apparatus includes a detection part which detects a plurality of positions of a music performance interface during a single stroke with respect to an operator of a keyboard instrument, the music performance interface including a mechanism that interlocks with the operator, an estimated music-sound generation time analysis part which calculates an estimated music-sound generation time point representing a time point at which music sound according to the single stroke with respect to the operator is estimated to be generated, based on a detection result of the positions of the music performance interface by the detection part, and a music performance information output part which outputs, when the detection result by the detection part is obtained, music performance information representing music performance contents corresponding to the single stroke with respect to the operator prior to the calculated estimated music-sound generation time point.

There is provided a wind synthesizer controller playable by the same manipulation as that of a customary musical instrument as well as able to obtain accurate scale information and volume information. The wind synthesizer controller includes a microphone, an expiration intensity measuring unit, and a controller. The microphone detects a sound generated by flowed in expiration. The expiration intensity measuring unit measures intensity of the expiration on the basis of a detected sound signal. The controller generates volume information on the basis of the measured expiration intensity. The volume information at least includes note on, note off, and velocity.

An apparatus, that allows one to control the operation of a musical instrument, includes: a rotatably mounted, circular cylinder having on its outer surface rings of individual lights, a photosensor associated with each ring of lights that yields an output signal that controls the operation of the musical instrument's strikers, a rotation sensor that provides a rotation output signal indicative of the cylinder's rotational position, a programmable controller with a memory storage element, a means for inputting into the memory storage element a music input signal having the information necessary to cause the acoustical members of the musical instrument to play a desired musical composition, and a software program that uses the music input and rotation output signals to generate a control signal for the light's power source that intermittently illuminates the rings of lights so that the photosensors output signals cause the strikers to create those sounds required to play the desired musical composition.
摘要:
A software application configured to enable a single controller trigger to send arbitrarily complex sequences of keystroke and/or MIDI control messages to a multi-media device. Examples of multi-media devices include DJ players, video game systems, music, entertainment, and lighting control applications. Each trigger of the controller can be uniquely programmed to generate a complex sequence of keystrokes and/or MIDI control messages, allowing more complex and higher performance control of the multi-media device.
摘要:
A human interface device may include at least one analog control pressure surface that may operate in conjunction with at least one optical tube assembly (OTA) to allow precision human control of signal modulation, such as an audio signal being generated by a musical instrument. Each OTA may be incorporated within a body and may include a tube and an emitter-sensor pair wherein when pressure is applied to at least one of the pressure surfaces, the amount of light transferred within a sensor-emitter pair of an OTA is altered to selectively effect the signal modulation. Any type of control range may be expressed that depends on dynamic range and “touch” control. Accordingly, the human interface device may allow more “feeling” or expressiveness through application of pressure rather than positioning.

An optical sensor array includes plural sensor heads arranged on a supporting plate at intervals for monitoring moving objects such as black/white keys of a composite keyboard musical instrument; the sensor head has resiliently deformable arms on both side portions thereof and a locating hole/guide groove are formed in the reverse surface portion of the sensor head, and an expander, a grip and projections are formed in the supporting plate; when a worker slides the sensor head on the expander, the resiliently deformable arms make the gap wider so that the grip is pinched between the resiliently deformable arms and that the projections are engaged with the locating hole and guide groove, whereby the sensor head is easily fixed to and located at a predetermined position on the supporting plate.
摘要:
A shutter holder has a frame-like base portion and a tie plate inwardly projecting from a side portion of the base portion in a cantilever fashion, and the tie plate has a rectangular cross section smaller in thickness and/or width, i.e., second moment of inertia than the cross section of the base plate at the boundary; even if a staple is deeply driven into a moving object such as a wooden key, the tie plate is widely deflected so as to absorb the deformation of the wooden key, and permits a shutter plate to keep itself perpendicular to the lower surface of the wooden key.
