A device is provided for capturing vibrations produced by an object such as a musical instrument such as a cymbal of a drum kit. The device comprises a detectable element, such as a ferromagnetic element, such as a metal shim and a sensor spaced apart from and located relative to the musical instrument. The detectable element is located between the sensor and the musical instrument. When the musical instrument vibrates, the sensor remains stationary and the detectable element is vibrated relative to the sensor by the musical instrument.

Systems and methods for onboard, real-time pickup blending for electric guitars/basses may utilize every possible tonal combination that double coil pickups can offer. The industry standard pickup toggle switch may be removed from electric guitar/bass instruments. Instead of a user being limited to only using one pickup at a time to be selected, the user may mix in any combination of the pickups (top, bottom, or both) at any time. Accordingly, multiple pickups can be on at the same time and/or the user may blend in (or out) any percentage of any of the pickups that the user wishes to create a large combination of tones.

An audio processing system includes a memory and a processor. The processor implements instructions to: establish a re-trained synthesis model by additional training a pre-trained synthesis model for generating feature data representative of acoustic features of an audio signal according to condition data representative of sounding conditions, using: first condition data representative of sounding conditions identified from a first audio signal of a first sound source; and first feature data representative of acoustic features of the first audio signal; receive an instruction to modify at least one of the sounding conditions of the first audio signal; generate second feature data by inputting second condition data representative of the modified at least one sounding condition into the re-trained synthesis model established by the additional training; and generate a modified audio signal in accordance with the generated second feature data.

An information processing system includes at least one memory storing a program and at least one processor. The at least one processor implements the program to input a piece of sound source data representative of a sound source, a piece of style data representative of a performance style, and synthesis data representative of sounding conditions into a synthesis model generated by machine learning, and to generate, using the synthesis model, feature data representative of acoustic features of a target sound of the sound source to be generated in the performance style and according to the sounding conditions, and to generate an audio signal corresponding to the target sound using the generated feature data.

An electronic musical instrument includes a playing operator, and a sound source which performs processing of receiving, in response to a user operation on the playing operator, a sound generation instruction according to playing operation information including the pitch information indicating the certain pitch and sound volume information indicating a certain volume, and generating sound according to the certain pitch and the certain volume, based on excitation data generated by multiplying partial data by a window function, the partial data being included in excitation signal waveform data generated based on a plurality of waveform data items which are respectively different from each other in sound intensity in the certain pitch.
