  • Patent number: 4488468
    Abstract: An electronic musical instrument including a compact, portable pedal board and a storage case for the pedal board and for the electronic components of the instrument is disclosed. The pedal board includes shortened foot pedals having a low profile and a very low throw for activating control switches for the electronics, whereby the pedal board can be used in conjunction with a piano or with other instruments. The low throw is obtained through the use of a guide channel mounting arrangement for the pedals and by the use of pressure sensitive switching.The storage case receives and secures the pedal board and also provides a housing for the tone generator, amplifier and other electronics controlled by the pedal board. A control panel door on the end of the storage case is adapted to receive a control panel, and is hinged to the storage case so that it may be swung fully open to expose the control panel. The case may then be positioned on its opposite end to serve as a display stand for the control unit.
