Self-contained enhanced string instrument
An acoustic musical instrument a hollow body, neck, speaker, and digital audio device. A control circuit is coupled to the speaker and the digital audio device. The speaker is externally positioned on the hollow body. The digital audio player is externally positioned on the hollow body. The control circuit is communicatively coupled to a MIDI component, an electronic tuner, amplifier board, and an effects board. A plurality of light emitting diodes are positioned on the neck and coupled to the control circuit. The control circuit is configured to synchronicitously energize the LEDs with an audio file that is executed by the digital audio device. The control circuit is configured to synchronicitously energize the LEDs according to instructions received external to the acoustic musical instrument. The speaker is communicatively coupled to the amplifier board. The digital audio device captures sounds that are generated by the acoustic musical instrument.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL GUITAR
A multifunctional guitar includes a guitar body, a handle detachably connected to the guitar body, a Bluetooth speaker, and a shock absorbing mechanism that connects the Bluetooth speaker to the guitar body.
Instrument and Device Rack
The object of the present invention is to provide an instrument and device rack for holding or storing electronic musical instruments and/or accessory equipment, which can be expanded in a simple and modular manner as required, and also to provide universal and orderly holding and arrangement of the musical instruments and/or accessory equipment or other accessories.
1. The modular instrument and device rack (1) for holding or storing electronic musical instruments and/or accessory devices, wherein two telescopically height-adjustable T-shaped foot elements (2) are connected via a connecting bridge (3) and at least two bearing elements (4) for a storage plate (5) are detachably fastened to the connecting bridge (3), wherein at least one extension element (7) can be detachably arranged on each at least of two bearing elements (4) via a respective support element (6) at least at one height and inclination deviating from the bearing elements (4), wherein in the case of two or more extension elements (7) to be arranged one above the other, the respective extension elements (7) are arranged respectively with a common support element (6) on the respective bearing element (4).
MULTI-AXIS FOOT PEDAL FOR ELECTRIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
A control device (1) for controlling the sound of an electric musical instrument has a tread plate (2) and a signal generator (3). The tread plate (2) is mounted pivotally about a first axis (4a) and is mounted pivotally about a second axis (4b). The signal generator is configured such that it generates a first electrical signal for controlling the sound and a second electrical signal for controlling the sound, the first electrical signal being the result of a rotation of the tread plate (2) about the first axis (4a) and the second electrical signal being the result of a rotation of the tread plate (2) about the second axis (4b). A control system comprises a control device of this type and the electric musical instrument.
ACOUSTIC DEVICE
An acoustic device includes a rotary operator and a base supporting the rotary operator so that the rotary operator is rotatable. The base includes a braking unit configured to be brought into contact with the rotary operator to cause a braking force to act on the rotary operator and an adjuster configured to adjust the braking force caused by the braking unit. The braking unit includes a plurality of contact members configured to be brought into contact with the rotary operator to cause the braking force to act on the rotary operator. The braking force acting on the rotary operator by the plurality of the contact members varies depending on an adjustment amount by the adjuster.
