Abstract: Synthetic multi-string musical instruments have been developed for capturing and rendering musical performances on handheld or other portable devices in which a multi-touch sensitive display provides one of the input vectors for an expressive performance by a user or musician. Visual cues may be provided on the multi-touch sensitive display to guide the user in a performance based on a musical score. Alternatively, or in addition, uncued freestyle modes of operation may be provided. In either case, it is not the musical score that drives digital synthesis and audible rendering of the synthetic multi-string musical instrument. Rather, it is the stream of user gestures captured at least in part using the multi-touch sensitive display that drives the digital synthesis and audible rendering.

Abstract: An electronic switch and an electronic device are disclosed. The electronic switch includes a trigger, a measurement device, a load control circuit, and the controller. The trigger switches on or off a circuit between a power supply and the electronic switch and generates the travel of the electronic switch. The measurement device is configured to measure working parameters of the power supply, the load and the trigger and to send the working parameters to the controller. The controller receives the working parameters and generates a control signal with a PWM signal. The PWM signal is obtained by adjusting the current control signal according to the working parameters. The control signal is sent to the load control circuit. The load control circuit controls the rotation speed of the motor in the load with the control signal.

Abstract: An electronic switch control method is disclosed. The method comprises receiving the current working parameters of the electronic switch, then reading duty cycle parameters matching with the current working parameters; conducting a linear calculation with the duty cycle parameters and the working parameters to obtain a new duty cycle; adjusting the current control signal to obtain a PWM signal having the new duty cycle; and controlling the rotation speed of the motor in a load with the PWM signal. By reducing the volume of an electronic switch and achieving a long low-speed travel, the disclosure enables the user to work at an accurate working point with an electronic device.

Abstract: Described is a trigger module that can be used with percussive instruments to generate an electric signal. The trigger module includes an enclosure with a strike plate. A piezoelectric transducer is affixed with the bottom of the strike plate. A striker having a protrusion is attached with the enclosure such that the protrusion rests proximate the strike plate. Thus, forcing the striker towards the strike plate causes the protrusion to impact the strike plate, thereby causing the piezoelectric transducer to generate an electric signal.
