Abstract
In some embodiments, an electric guitar interface system, includes a first touchpad of an electric guitar configured to detect a user input, and a control unit coupled to the first touchpad. The control unit may be configured to set a first parameter of the electric guitar's output as a function of a position of the user input along the first axis. The first parameter includes a first pickup gain. The first pickup gain may be for at least one of a bridge pickup, a middle pickup, and a neck pickup. The first parameter includes a second pickup gain.
Claims20
An electric guitar interface system, comprising:
- a first touchpad of an electric guitar configured to detect a user input;
- and
- a control unit coupled to the first touchpad, the control unit being configured to set a first parameter of the electric guitar's output as a function of a position of the user input along the first axis,
- wherein the first parameter includes a first pickup gain, wherein the length of the first touchpad along the first axis includes a first segment in which the first corresponding value varies along the first axis,
- wherein the first segment includes a first subsegment and a second subsegment, and
- wherein a range of the first corresponding value is greater in the second subsegment than in the first subsegment.
An electric guitar interface method, comprising:
- using a first touchpad of an electric guitar, detecting a user input;
- and
- setting a first parameter of the electric guitar's output as a function of a position of the user input along the first axis,
- wherein the first parameter includes a first pickup gain, and wherein the length of the first touchpad along the first axis includes a first segment in which the first corresponding value varies along the first axis,
- wherein the first segment includes a first subsegment and a second subsegment, and
- wherein a range of the first corresponding value is greater in the second subsegment than in the first subsegment.
A non-transitory tangible machine-readable medium having a set of instructions stored thereon that when executed by one or more processing devices cause the one or more processors to perform the method, the method comprising:
- using a first touchpad of an electric guitar, detecting a user input;
- and
- setting a first parameter of the electric guitar's output as a function of a position of the user input along the first axis,
- wherein the first parameter includes a first pickup gain, and wherein the length of the first touchpad along the first axis includes a first segment in which the first corresponding value varies along the first axis,
- wherein the first segment includes a first subsegment and second subsegment, and
- wherein a range of the first corresponding value is greater in the second subsegment than in the first subsegment.
