摘要： An electronic piano is controllable with a remote controller; since the remote controller is physically separated from the electronic piano, users are liable to mislay the remote controller somewhere around the electronic piano; in this situation, the user instructs the electronic piano to transmit a radio wave representative of inquiry, and the missing remote controller responds to the inquiry by transmitting a radio wave representative of annunciation; the electronic piano is equipped with antennas separated from each other on the piano cabinet, and the received power at the antennas is varied depending upon the location of the missing remote controller; the electronic piano analyzes the received power so as to notify the user of the possible location of the missing remote controller.

摘要： An ergonomic pedal board (8) comprising a non-orthogonal shaped body plate (10) with a cooperative loop fabric surface (14) to releasably mount one or more effects pedals (28). Rubber feet (16) are attached to the underside of body plate (10) in three locations that provide tripodal support for stability on uneven or non-level surfaces. Effects pedals (28) are releasably mounted in staggered array with audio jacks (30) unobstructed, facilitating a natural arc of foot movement when actuating pedals by foot. A slotted handle (12) is incorporated into body plate (10) that attaches to the vertical tube (22) of a microphone stand (25). The forward end of body plate (10) is supported by the microphone stand's base (24). This support elevates the forward end of pedal board (8) and weights base (24) of microphone stand (25). A receptacle (20) is provided in the forward end of body plate (10) that accepts a gooseneck lamp (32) for illumination of pedal board (8) and effects pedals (28) in conditions of low ambient light. The gooseneck lamp's (32) DC power jack (34) accepts a source of DC power common to effects pedals (28) that are mounted proximate to gooseneck lamp (32).

摘要： An interactive electronic drum system and training techniques suitable for use in a coin-operated environment such as an arcade are described. Electronic drum pads, audio speakers, a visual display, training lights and an overall control system are combined to simulate the excitement of a live drum or inactive musical jam session for a user. Positive feedback and, as necessary, instructive aid are provided to make the experience a positive one for both the novice and the expert player. Learning and playing a musical instrument becomes an intuitive, exciting experience and not a boring chore to be endured. Players can simulate the experience of playing in a rock band before a live and appreciative audience. In short, this interactive electronic drum system makes drums and the jamming experience widely accessible to the public.

摘要： A music delivery system enables a user to listen to desired music at low cost anywhere and any time. It has a server including a music data storage for storing music data uploaded from a personal computer, and a processor for generating a speech-based interactive document describing an interactive procedure with a car navigation system in accordance with information in the music data uploaded from the personal computer. In response to a download request from the car navigation system, the server transmits the speech-based interactive document generated by the processor to the car navigation system. The car navigation system retrieves and downloads desired music data from the music data storage of the server through interaction with the server in accordance with the speech-based interactive document received from the server.

摘要： An electronic percussion instrument is constituted by a hi-hat, a stand, and a foot pedal, wherein the hi-hat is interlocked with the foot pedal via a movable shaft. In the hi-hat, a core plate (and a core) is arranged in the upper portion, and membrane switches are arranged in the lower portion and are covered with a rubber block, which is gradually brought into contact with membrane switches when depressed by the core plate, which is moved downwards upon depression of the foot pedal. In response to a depressed position of the foot pedal, membrane switches are sequentially turned on or off, thus producing a control signal whose value is varied to control an electronic sound in tone color. Thus, it is possible to produce various hi-hat sounds such as an open hi-hat sound, a closed hi-hat sound, and a foot hi-hat sound as necessary.

摘要： There is provided an electronic keyboard musical instrument that gives the performance feeling closer to that given by an acoustic piano and enables techniques of expression closer to those used when playing the acoustic piano. Touch information is generated based on first information output when an ON event of a first (deep) SW of a switch section occurs, and a tone generator section generates a musical tone according to the touch. When an OFF event of a third (shallow) SW of the switch section occurs during key release, the musical tone being generated is progressively damped, and at the same time a musical tone having a predetermined characteristic is generated. The OFF event of the third SW is made equivalent to a damper-leaving position in a key stroke of an acoustic piano keyboard.

摘要： A sound pickup system for string instruments includes a chinrest and/or tailpiece connected to a first audio interface devicenulle.g. a piezoelectric transducer-on the instrument's bridge. A second audio interface devicenulle.g., a microphone-may be attached to and extended from the chinrest and/or tailpiece to provide a second sound pickup mechanism, which improves the quality of the sound reproduced by the sound pickup system. The chinrest and/or tailpiece contains volume and sensitivity control, for one or both audio interface devices, that also acts as a high frequency noise filter; a human grounding point in the chin cup and/or in the strings; and an output jack.
