20090015583 | DIGITAL MUSIC INPUT RENDERING FOR GRAPHICAL PRESENTATIONS - A graphical presentation is produced at a display of a host computer such that a scene description is rendered and updated by a received digital music input, wherein the digital music input is matched to trigger events of the scene description and actions of each matched trigger event are executed in accordance with action processes of the scene description, thereby updating the scene description with respect to objects depicted in the scene on which the actions are executed. The updated scene description is then rendered. The system provides a means for connecting a graphics API to a musical instrument digital interface (e.g., MIDI) data stream and producing a presentation. | 01-15-2009 |
20080271594 | Electronic Musical Instrument - An electronic musical instrument includes an array of electrical switches (transducers) aligned on the body of the instrument and configured to provide a desired instrument layout, and to provide tactile feedback for playing, while having different playing functions. A suitable material overlying the switch array can provide the physical appearance and configuration for the desired instrument layout. For example, a subset of the array switches can be used for a fretting area, in which the overlay material provides multiple “strings” for fretting, and a different subset of the array switches can be used for a strumming area, in which the overlay material supports a strumming action. If desired, an additional subset of the array switches can be designated for additional effects, such as a sensor area. | 11-06-2008 |
