  • Publication number: 20220351708
    Abstract: An arrangement for the conversion of at least one detected force from the movement of a sensing unit into an auditory signal. The arrangement includes at least one sensor for generating a force signal from the at least one detected force. A processing unit is configured for converting the force signal into a digital auditory signal. An output unit for converting the digital auditory signal into an auditory signal is further included wherein the digital auditory signal includes in formation of acceleration, strength and duration of a single detected force. The present method is used for converting at least one detected force affecting an object into auditory signal, as well as the use of an arrangement according to the present invention for various entertainment and/or therapeutic purposes.

  • Publication number: 20220270576
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for creating a sound effect out of a continuous movement, in particular by means of detecting a continuous movement through a force sensor in a device. A method is shown for creating a sound effect out of a continuous movement. The method comprises a step of providing a first device, where-by the device is adapted at detecting continuous movement and a no-movement state. The method further comprises the step of defining at least one first parameter of movement, in particular a first axis of movement of said continuous movement. A further step comprises the assigning at least one first midi-channel to the first axis of movement. A base-line value is defined for the no-movement state, and along that first axis of movement a range of values is relative to said base-line value is defined. This range of values is relative to said base-line value is reflective of a continuous movement along that first axis of movement.
