20100242712 | MUSIC PROCESSING SYSTEM INCLUDING DEVICE FOR CONVERTING GUITAR SOUNDS TO MIDI COMMANDS - A device is disclosed for converting guitar sounds to MIDI commands. The device has 7 microcontrollers. Each guitar string's oscillations are filtered and amplified with input filters and input amplifiers. The conditioned string signal is directed to an input of an associated microcontroller and converted to a MIDI command. Each string has an input filter and amplifier, and a microcontroller that converts the string oscillations into a MIDI command. MIDI commands from all six microcontrollers are received and processed by a main microcontroller that transmits the commands to the MIDI interface of a musical instrument with additional modification, if needed. | 09-30-2010 |
