A transmitter interface module for a musical instrument for receiving and converting an analog input audio signal to digital, passing the digital signal to a mobile processing device for digital signal processing, and/or recording, receiving the processed signal from the mobile processing device and transmitting the received processed signal wirelessly for broadcast/performance by a receiver. The transmitter interface module further comprises an input for receiving one of either an analog or digital audio signal, a converter for converting the analog signal to a digital audio signal, a wired connection for sending the digital audio signal to a mobile processing device for digital audio processing and receiving a processed audio signal from the mobile processing device, and a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting the received processed audio signal.

Described herein are embodiments of sensorized spherical input and output devices, systems, and methods for capturing gestural input from a user's physical interactions with a spherical device, including tossing, bouncing and spinning. In one embodiment, the spherical input and output device includes force sensors in a configuration to capture a variety of user gestures with the sphere. A microprocessor receives sensor input and transmits the sensor data to receiving devices which include computer software to translate the sensor signals to audio output, visual output, or various functions on receiving devices. Embodiments of the invention include the integration of inertial measurement units (IMUs), which may include a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers to capture complex user gestures involving motion, direction and spin of the sensorized sphere in three dimensional space.

A specialized audio/instrument cable adapter with built-in digital signal processing capabilities that adds user-defined audio effects (such as reverb, delay, chorus and/or distortion) from within the cable adapter itself to affect the sound generated from an instrument or microphone such that the cable adapter (with a instrument/microphone cable) is the only connection needed between the instrument or microphone and an output device (such as an amplifier, PA, powered speaker, music mixer, or a recording device). The audio effects used by the cable adapter can be changed via (i) an app from a smartphone, tablet, computer or other electronic device; (ii) a wireless controller that attaches to the instrument; (iii) a pedal, and/or (iv) any other type of wireless controller that has the ability to communicate with a smartphone/tablet/computer or other electronic device.
