摘要：A novel music instrument is disclosed, comprising (i) a wind music instrument ofthe type wherein the emitted acoustic tone is dependent upon the placement of meanssuch as valves or a slide which determine column length and the wind pressure exertedby the musician, (ii) a music synthesizer, and (iii) an interface apparatus. The interfaceapparatus includes sensing means for sensing the position of the instrument valves orslides and generating a sensing signal, transducer means for sensing characteristics of thenote emitted by the wind instrument and generating a transducer signal, and a controlleradapted to the type of wind instrument for generating a synthesizer control signal inresponse to the sensing signal and the transducer signal. By playing the instrument in anormal manner, the musician is able to also control the synthesizer to generate notesrelated to the notes emitted by the wind instrument. Pressure sensitive transducers areprovided to allow the musician to introduce a vibrato effect or to alter the pitch of thenotes generated by the synthesizer.
Other features and improvements are disclosed.
