  • Haptic controller suitable for controlling a sound characteristic
    Patent number: 9275618
    Abstract: The invention relates to a haptic controller comprising a base (2), at least one maneuvering body (8) which is movably mounted on the base such that it can be moved under the action of a user, mechanical connection means (4, 15) comprising at least one deformable abutment consisting of an elastomer material between the maneuvering body and the base, and suitable for exerting a monotonous, non-linear resistive effort against an actuating effort of the maneuvering body, at least one sensor (12) placed in the haptic controller in such a way as to generate a signal representative of said actuating effort, and associated built-in or remote means (18) for processing the signal generated by the sensor, in order to supply an output signal for controlling at least one characteristic of a sound.
