摘要： A combined pick and stringed instrument tuning device includes a relatively flat, substantially rectangularly shaped housing having a pick attached thereto and is small enough to be easily held in one's hand. A momentary contact push-button switch mounted on top of the housing controls an electronic tuning circuit by selecting one of several predetermined frequencies from a frequency generator. In one embodiment, the tuning circuit is mounted in the housing so that the tuning device is totally self-contained. Alternatively, the tuning circuit is remotely located and is controlled by a cable connected to the housing or by radio signals. The frequency selected is displayed on the housing and the frequency generator drives a strobe light located near the pick. In another embodiment, a microphone mounted on the housing converts sounds from the string being tuned to a signal which is compared to the preselected frequency. One light on the housing indicates when the string frequency is too high and another indicates when it is too low.

摘要翻译：组合拾取弦乐器调谐装置包括相对平坦的大致矩形形状的壳体，其具有附接到其上的拾音器，并且足够小以容易地握在手中。安装在壳体顶部的瞬时接触按钮开关通过从频率发生器中选择几个预定频率中的一个来控制电子调谐电路。在一个实施例中，调谐电路安装在壳体中，使得调谐装置完全独立。或者，调谐电路位于远处，并且由连接到壳体的电缆或通过无线电信号控制。选择的频率显示在外壳上，频率发生器驱动位于拾音器附近的闪光灯。在另一个实施例中，安装在外壳上的麦克风将来自被调谐的弦的声音转换成与预选频率进行比较的信号。外壳上的一盏灯指示字符串频率何时过高，另一个指示何时太低。

摘要： The present invention provides a piano-type key actuator that employs supplemental actuation so as to enable an associated key to become engaged when a typical actuation force is applied anywhere along its entire length, including from within the immediate vicinity of its pivot point, where the key would otherwise be unusable for playing due to the prohibitively large actuation force that would generally be required in this area. By eliminating the unusable portion of a key, a full-function keyboard can be provided in a more compact and portable form.

摘要： The present invention provides touch sensor means for detecting the touch location along the length of an outfitted piano key as it is pressed, so as to then offset the notes of an associated piano keyboard accordingly during play. When such an outfitted key is pressed in combination with other piano keys, the touch location along the length of the outfitted key, and the separation intervals and timing of the key presses, are analyzed to determine the intended chord, such that before any notes are sounded, the notes of the pressed keys are configured for the sounding of that chord. This arrangement enables playing a wide range of notes using just a few keys, so as to provide a substantially reduced-size keyboard with full-sized keys sufficient for real-time playing. This arrangement also enables configuring the note offsets of those pressed keys to conform to a selected musical key, so as to simplify the layout of the keyboard by eliminating its black keys, while still supporting the playing of non-conforming notes. This arrangement further enables applying pitch variation to those note offsets in order to emulate the “string stretching,” “whammy bar,” and “fretless neck” playing techniques for guitars and basses. This arrangement even further enables playing advanced chords in a simplified manner. Finally, this arrangement enables providing a wide assortment of keyboards that can differ in the type, number, size, and functionality of their outfitted keys.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种触摸传感器装置，用于在被按压时沿着所配备的钢琴键的长度检测触摸位置，从而在播放期间相应地偏移相关联的钢琴键盘的音符。当与其他钢琴键一起按下这样一个装备的键时，分析沿着装备的键的长度的触摸位置以及按键的分离间隔和定时，以确定预期的和弦，使得在任何音符是听起来，按下的键的音符被配置为用于发声的和弦。这种布置使得仅使用几个键即可播放宽范围的音符，以便提供具有足够实时播放的全尺寸键的基本尺寸较小的键盘。这种布置还能够配置这些按下的键的音符偏移以符合所选择的音乐键，以便通过消除其黑键来简化键盘的布局，同时仍然支持不符合音符的播放。这种安排进一步可以应用这些音符偏移的音高变化，以模拟吉他和低音的“弦拉伸”，“锤子”和“无瑕疵”的演奏技巧。这种安排甚至能够以简化的方式演奏高级和弦。最后，这种布置使得能够提供各种类型的键盘，其键盘的类型，数量，尺寸和功能可能不同。

摘要： The present invention relates to an application for an iPad or similar electronic device having a touch screen. It provides a sensor to detect the touch position along the vertical length of a key as it is being engaged and to then offset the notes of the keyboard accordingly. This enables several octaves of notes to be accessed on the touch screen at any given time with a key size that is sufficient for real time playing. This arrangement further enables the incremental offset of the note pitches in a continuous manner to emulate the “string stretching” and “fretless neck” techniques of guitars and basses. The invention further provides a screen overlay to physically define the borders and travel of the on-screen keys thereby emulating the tactile feedback of real keys, again in a manner sufficient for real time playing.

摘要： A stringed musical instrument is tuned by illuminating a portion of a vibrating string with a monochromatic stroboscopic light source. The illuminated string portion is viewed through a monochromatic filter of the same color as the light source. The string tension is then adjusted until the desired stationary stroboscopic effect is achieved.

摘要： A transducer produces an electrical signal representing the frequency of a tone produced by the vibrating string of a musical instrument. Circuit means convert the electrical signal into a visually perceivable form which moves or appears to move in unison with the vibrating string. The signal from a frequency generator representing the desired frequency operates a strobe light source which is operatively associated with the visual vibrating motion display. When the string is in tune with the pre-selected desired frequency from the generator, the vibratory motion appears to stop and the strobe light or vibrating element appears to stand still.
