  • Electronic music instrument with touch-sensitive means
    Patent number: 9336762
    Abstract: An electronic music instrument is provided comprising at least one input element configured to trigger an output sound signal when pressed. The electronic music instrument further comprises a controlling device adapted to alter at least one parameter of at least one output sound signal triggered with the at least one input element. Furthermore, the electronic music instrument comprises a housing adapted to house the at least one input element and the controlling device. The controlling device comprises at least one touch-sensitive means wherein the parameter of the at least one output sound signal is altered corresponding to the position of at least one marker. The controlling device is adapted to set the position of the at least one marker by a simulation of a physical system, and wherein the state of the simulated physical system is alterable by a touching gesture on the at least one touch-sensitive means.
