Wireless control and modification of electronic audio signals of remote electronic devices

A computer system comprising:

• first computing device that is configured to read radio frequency identification (RFID) tags;
• a second computing device comprising:
• a networking interface that is communicatively coupled to the first computing device and to a sound producing device;
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing one or more sequences of instructions which when executed cause the second computing device to perform:
• receiving, from the first computing device, a first RFID tag address of a first RFID tag;
• storing, in one or more digital data repositories, a first mapping that associates each RFID tag address of a plurality of RFID tag addresses with a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) event message of a plurality of MIDI event messages, the plurality of RFID tag addresses including the first RFID tag address;
• storing, in one or more digital data repositories, a second mapping that associates each MIDI event message of the plurality of MIDI event messages to a virtual action identifier of a plurality of virtual action identifiers;
• using the first mapping, determining a first MIDI event message based on the first RFD tag address;
• using the second mapping, determining a first virtual action identifier based on the first MIDI event message;
• receiving, from an electronic audio signal generating device configured to generate electronic audio signals, at the second computing device, an electronic audio signal;
• modifying the electronic audio signal to produce a modified electronic audio signal based on the action associated with the determined first virtual action identifier;
• the second computing device transmitting the modified electronic audio signal to the sound producing device and causing the sound producing device to convert the electronic audio signal into a corresponding sound.

A computer system comprising:

• an electronic guitar configured to generate electronic audio signals;
• a first computing device that is configured to read radio frequency identification (RFID) tags;
• a second computing device comprising:
• a networking interface that is communicatively coupled to the electronic guitar, first computing device, and to a loudspeaker;
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing one or more sequences of instructions which when executed cause the second computing device to perform:
• receiving, from the first computing device, a first RFID tag address of a first RFID tag;
• storing, in one or more digital data repositories, a first mapping that associates each RFID tag address of a plurality of RFID tag addresses with a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) event message of a plurality of MIDI event messages, the plurality of RFID tag addresses including the first RFID tag address;
• storing, in one or more digital data repositories, a second mapping that associates each MIDI event message of the plurality of MIDI event messages to a virtual action identifier of a plurality of virtual action identifiers;
• using the first mapping, determining a first MIDI event message based on the first RFD tag address;
• using the second mapping, determining a first virtual action identifier based on the first MIDI event message;
• receiving, from the electronic guitar, an electronic audio signal;
• modifying the electronic audio signal to produce a modified electronic audio signal based on an action associated with the virtual action identifier;
• transmitting the modified electronic audio signal to the loudspeaker and causing the loudspeaker to convert the electronic audio signal into a corresponding sound.
