20200273440 · 2020-08-27 · ·

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for calibrating a musical device. In some embodiments, a method for calibrating a musical device includes: energizing an actuator to actuate a key using a force corresponding to a first intensity level; obtaining, from a sensor, a first sensor signal representing motion information of the key corresponding to application of the force; and calibrating the musical device based on the first sensor signal.

Keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer
10755680 · 2020-08-25 ·

The keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer is for use with a keyboard sustain foot pedal. The stabilizer comprises a stabilizer base, a pedal-retention area for retaining the keyboard sustain foot pedal, a pair of sidewalls and an end-wall. The stabilizer base, the pair of sidewalls, the end-wall, and the pedal-retention area are made of one-piece of material. The keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer may be made of one-piece of material, the one-piece of material being a natural rubber, a synthetic rubber, or a blend of one or natural rubbers and one or more synthetic rubbers. The keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer has no moving parts. The top surface of the keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer has non-slipping properties and the underside of the device has non-skid properties. An opening for positioning a foot pedal cord is disposed in either an end-wall, a sidewall, or between the end-wall and a sidewall.

Systems and methods for automatic calibration of musical devices

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for calibrating a musical device. In some embodiments, a method for calibrating a musical device includes: determining a first time corresponding to a first instruction that instructs a driving device to actuate a first component of a musical device using a first force; receiving first sensor data relating to motion information of the first component; determining a second time based on the first sensor data; determining, by a hardware processor, a first time deviation based on the first time and the second time; and calibrating the musical device based on the first time deviation.

Piano pedal actuating device and method of playing a piano using the device
10621957 · 2020-04-14 ·

The combination of a piano and an actuating device for a pedal on the piano. The actuating device has a frame, an arm on the frame movable in a controlled path, and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly has a component moved from a first position into a second position to thereby cause the pedal to move from the starting position into the actuated position. The actuator assembly is configured so that movement of the arm in a first direction in the controlled path causes the one component to move from the first position into the second position. The arm is movable by a leg of a user situated in a playing position with respect to the piano.
