A toy guitar includes a guitar body defining an interior space. The toy guitar may further include a track extending within the interior space from an opening of the guitar body. The toy guitar may further include a guitar neck arranged partially in the opening. The neck is manipulateable between an extended position in which the guitar neck extends from the guitar body and a retracted position in which the guitar neck is at least partially retracted into the interior space along the track. In some cases, the guitar neck may include a retention structure configured to retain the guitar neck in the extended position. The toy guitar may also include an input assembly integrated with the guitar neck configured to cause the toy guitar to emit a light or a sound upon receipt of an input when the guitar neck is in the extended position.

The present disclosure relates to an interactive music player, the interactive music player adapted to allow a user to control and mix a plurality of simultaneously played audio tracks. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding method and computer program product.

The invention provides a plug for an electronic plucked string instrument having a structure for fixing with a set screw by inserting a cable into a sleeve in a plug side. A biting convex portion biting into an insulated outer sheath while receiving a screwing compression force of a set screw via a cable is formed integrally on an inner peripheral surface of an attachment sleeve in a plug side along a peripheral direction of a sleeve inner peripheral surface. The biting convex portion formed on the inner peripheral surface of the attachment sleeve in the plug bites into the insulated outer sheath of the cable. Thus, a slip displacement against a sleeve inner surface of the cable is inhibited by the biting convex portion and a slack of the set screw can be effectively suppressed even in a case where a stronger tensile force is applied to the cable.

An electronic-drum module for connection to one or more electronic-drum pads is provided. The module includes an electronic display; a first memory storing audio files for playback when the playback is triggered by a signal received from a pad; and one or more processors coupled to the display and the memory. The processors are configured receive an instruction to transfer a set of samples. The set of samples is associated with a priority-instruction and includes a first subset of samples and a second subset of samples. The processors are also configures to transfer the first subset of samples from a second memory to the first memory based on the priority-instruction before transferring the second subset of samples and to transfer the second subset of samples from the second memory to the first memory.

A modular mounting system may include multiple parts couplable together to form a customizable assembly of parts. The parts may have a variety of lengths, depths, and heights and a rectangular prism shape or a rectangular wedge shape. A first part may have a first set of coupling holes on a first side surface for aligning with a second set of coupling holes on a second side surface of a second part. The first part may have a first cable routing opening for aligning with a second cable routing opening of the second part. The second part may couple to the first part at a front position and a third part may couple to the first part in a rear position and adjacent to the second part. Additional parts (e.g., a fourth part, a fifth part, etc.) may couple to the first part, the second part, and/or the third part.
