A pedal sound modification device is disclosed for varying an electrical signal. The device includes a plate pivotably coupled to a base. A slide potentiometer is coupled to the base and has a slider arm slidably engaging a linear potentiometer. The linear potentiometer extends between proximal slide end and a distal slide end. A linkage rod is pivotably coupled to the plate and the slide potentiometer for displacing the slide arm relative to the linear potentiometer upon a pivoting displacement of the plate relative to the base. The plate contacts the base for defining a proximal slide arm stop and positions the slide arm immediately adjacent to the proximal slide end for preventing damage to the slide potentiometer. The plate contacts the base for defining a distal slide arm stop and positions the slide arm immediately adjacent to the distal slide end for preventing damage to the slide potentiometer.

A method for generating music is provided, the method comprising receiving, on a capacitive touch sensitive interface such as a keyboard, multi-finger gesture inputs having a first component and a second component, wherein the second component has a temporal evolution such as speed; determining the onset of an audio signal, such as a tone, based on the first component, analyzing the temporal evolution of the second component to determine MIDI or Open Sound Control OSC instructions; modifying the audio signal based on the instructions, in particular by decoupling the temporal relationship between specific gesture inputs (e.g. at key onset, during a note and upon key release), thus mapping gesture and motion inputs, to thus obtain previously unachievable musical effects with music synthesizers.

A highly configurable controller is described that includes a number of different types of control mechanisms that emulate a wide variety of conventional control mechanisms using pressure and location sensitive sensors that generate high-density control information which may be mapped to the controls of a wide variety of devices and software.

A method and system for automatically transcribing an audio source, e.g. a WAV file or live feeds, into a computer-readable code, e.g., enhanced MIDI, are provided, specifically and limited to solving a central problem that has not been solved elsewhere: it takes a large sampling window, say from a fifth of a second to a full second for typical music, to extract many music perceptual parameters of interest, yet that transcription also needs to maintain synchronization with the source music, with the time resolution of that synchronization about a sixteenth of a second.

A method generates first pitch data indicating a pitch of a first sound signal to be synthesized; and uses a generative model to estimate output data indicative of the first sound signal based on the generated first pitch data. The generative model has been trained to learn a relationship between second pitch data indicating a pitch of a second sound signal and the second sound signal. The first pitch data includes a first plurality of pieces of pitch notation data corresponding to pitch names, and is generated by setting, from among the first plurality of pieces of pitch notation data, a first piece of pitch notation data that corresponds to the pitch of the first sound signal as a hot value based on a difference between a reference pitch of a pitch name corresponding to the first piece of pitch notation data and the pitch of the first sound signal.

The present invention provides a sounding control system capable of performing high-accuracy crosstalk suppression while reducing the processing load on a sound source device. When a first pad (12) vibrates, the first pad (12) generates sound emission data (62a1) that is information instructing a sound source device (11) to produce a sound and crosstalk cancellation determination data (62a2) that is information used for canceling crosstalk, and sends the data to the sound source device (11). The sound source device (11) determines whether or not crosstalk has occurred and controls sound emission using the information.
