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.

In some examples, digital signal processing plug-in implementation may include obtaining attributes of a user interface for a digital signal processing plug-in, and obtaining attributes of digital signal processing logic for the digital signal processing plug-in. The digital signal processing plug-in implementation may include generating, based on the attributes of the user interface and the attributes of the digital signal processing logic, a plug-in process to control operation of the user interface and the digital signal processing logic. Further, the digital signal processing plug-in implementation may include establishing, based on the generated plug-in process, a two-way communication link between a host and the plug-in process to implement the digital signal processing plug-in.

A micro flame effects unit (MFEU) includes a solenoid valve, an ignition coil, and a pair of electrodes. The ignition coil is to receive a voltage to create a spark between end portions of the electrodes. The solenoid valve is to receive a voltage to release gas, the spark and the gas to create a flame effect. An example flame thrower pipe organ (FTPO) includes a set of cylindrical members with a micro flame effects unit (MFEU) located within each cylindrical member. The FTPO further includes a set of keys that provide a sound when a key of the set of keys is played. A control device causes an MFEU to release a flame effect concurrent with the sound of a corresponding key being played. The FTPO may be automated with a self-playing system.

Voice synthesis method and apparatus generate second control data using an intermediate trained model with first input data including first control data designating phonetic identifiers, change the second control data in accordance with a first user instruction provided by a user, generate synthesis data representing frequency characteristics of a voice to be synthesized using a final trained model with final input data including the first control data and the changed second control data, and generate a voice signal based on the generated synthesis data.

Different aspects of the invention implement a sensor module that can be configured as a keyboard module or as a pedal module, allowing to connect a plurality of keyboard and pedal modules to assemble a configuration to the user’s liking, such as, for example, the usual configuration of an 87-key piano together with two pedals. The sensor module transmits information about detected key or pedal strokes to a computer application for playback, either aural or visual. At the same time, the sensor module allows, both in the keyboard module and pedal module configuration, to transmit the feeling of playing a real piano.

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating color sets based on musical concepts of pitch intervals and harmony. Color sets are derived via a music-to-hue process which analyzes musical pitch data associated with musical input to determine pitch intervals included in the music. Pitch interval angles associated with the pitch intervals are applied to a tuned hue index to identify hue note ordered within the index which are separated by a hue interval angle similar to the pitch angle associated with the analyzed pitch data. The systems and methods provide for the creation of color sets which are analogous to musical chords in that they include multiple hue notes selected based on hue interval angles derived from musical interval angles associated with the received musical input.

Voice synthesis method and apparatus generate second control data using an intermediate trained model with first input data including first control data designating phonetic identifiers, change the second control data in accordance with a first user instruction provided by a user, generate synthesis data representing frequency characteristics of a voice to be synthesized using a final trained model with final input data including the first control data and the changed second control data, and generate a voice signal based on the generated synthesis data.

The Thumb Bar Controller is a bar that runs the width of the electronic musical keyboard playing area, (plus whatever is needed for the lever attachment), connected by two armsrests just below the top, and approximately one inch away from the keys. It gives the performer control over two (or more) functions with the thumb of the playing hand, that would otherwise require the other hand or foot pedals, allowing a person with the disability of one arm/hand, to be as proficient as a person with two. It can be used for controlling pitch bend, modulation, MIDI specification controllers, various electronic controls, and product specific controls. The bar can be attached in numerous ways, could use a variety of spring type mechanisms to control it. It can be mounted externally or made as an integral part of the keyboard, with openings for the bar connections and movement required.
