Interactive multimedia apparatus

An interactive multimedia apparatus comprising:

• (a) a computer gaming peripheral input device (CGPID) operable by a user to convert simulated-musical-instrument-playing movements into an electrical output signal;
• (b) a source of at least one pre-recorded music track;
• and
• (c) a control unit connected to
• i. said source of at least one pre-recorded music track to receive at least one pre-recorded music track, and
• ii. said CGPID to receive said electrical output signal and modify said pre-recorded music track in response to said electrical output signal to produce a musical output signal,
• said control unit analyzing said pre-recorded music track to provide output during periods when said pre-recorded music track is silent, said control unit generating said musical output signal based on said analysis output file and in agreement with at least one of a structure and a melody of a main track in response to said user operating said CGPID at least one of at the wrong time and incorrectly, the control unit being operable by user activated control members which send a signal to software of the control unit in response to being pressed, each control member having an associated file stored in the control unit, whereby in use, the user activates the control member and the control unit opens the associated file and plays the file for a length and at an amplitude in response to an electrical signal received from a transducer as a result of the user's activation of at least one string of the CGPID.
