Electronic musical instrument controller merging responses from a plurality of strumpads

Abstract

A purely electronic musical instrument controller (without audio-frequency vibrating elements) for generating music control signals, such as MIDI-format control signals, and comprising arrays of strumpads is disclosed. The electronic musical instrument controller can include one or more of a (push)-button, touchpad, pressure sensor, ribbon controller, impact sensor, slider control, knob control, expression wheel, joystick, chord button array, switch, multiple-position selector, and internal sound-synthesis elements for internal audio signal generation. The electronic musical instrument controller can transmit control signals to an external system and receive control signals from an external system. Control signals can be of MIDI format. The electronic musical instrument controller can be secured on a stand or arrangement for attaching a strap, the strap enabling the electronic musical instrument controller to be worn by a user.
