ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT AND METHOD OF DETECTING PERCUSSION POSITION
20210366447 · 2021-11-25 · ·

An electronic percussion instrument and a method of detecting a percussion position are provided. The percussion position in a left-right direction is calculated by comparing an added-up value of output values of a first edge sensor with an added-up value of output values of a second edge sensor. Compared with a case where peak values of the first and second edge sensors are used, it is possible to make a great difference between an added-up value in a case where the vicinity of the first edge sensor (the second edge sensor) is percussed and an added-up value in a case where a position away from the first edge sensor (the second edge sensor) is percussed.

11183161 · 2021-11-23 · ·

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.

ELECTRONIC CYMBAL AND STRIKING DETECTION METHOD

By limiting deformation of an upper cover part 41 toward an inner peripheral side through catching between an outer peripheral surface of a bent part 21b and a stopper 46 or by forming an interval between a sensor installation part 21d and the upper cover part 41 to gradually increase from the inner peripheral side toward an outer peripheral side, at the time of being struck from a lateral direction, the upper cover part 41 and the lateral cover part 42 are suppressed from contacting an outer edge of the sensor installation part 21d. Thus, since the protrusion 45 is easily pressed to the edge sensor 5, the sensitivity of the edge sensor 5 with respect to the striking from the lateral direction can be facilitated.
