SYNTHESIZED PERCUSSION PEDAL AND LOOPING STATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240379082 titled 'SYNTHESIZED PERCUSSION PEDAL AND LOOPING STATION
The patent application describes a system for controlling audio playback and recording using foot-operable switches.
- The system includes a first foot-operable switch for controlling MIDI sequence playback and a second foot-operable switch for controlling audio loop recording and playback.
- Two processing modules are used to respond to activation commands from the foot-operable switches, allowing for seamless control of playback and recording operations.
- Activation commands are triggered based on the duration and frequency of user interaction with the foot-operable switches.
- The system enables various control operations such as triggering MIDI sequences, transitioning between sequences, stopping playback, recording audio loops, initiating loop playback, and overdubbing recorded audio loops.
Potential Applications: - Music production and performance - Live looping and improvisation - Interactive audio installations
Problems Solved: - Streamlining audio control operations - Enhancing user interaction with audio equipment - Improving workflow efficiency in music production
Benefits: - Hands-free control of audio playback and recording - Enhanced creativity and flexibility in music creation - Improved user experience for musicians and audio engineers
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Foot-Operated Audio Control System for Music Production This technology can be utilized in music studios, live performances, music education, and interactive installations, catering to musicians, producers, and audio enthusiasts.
Questions about Foot-Operated Audio Control Systems: 1. How does the system differentiate between activation commands based on user interaction? The system uses the duration and frequency of foot-operable switch activation to trigger specific commands for MIDI playback and audio recording.
2. What are the advantages of using foot-operable switches for audio control? Foot-operable switches provide a hands-free and intuitive way for musicians to control audio playback and recording, enhancing their performance and workflow efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system for controlling audio playback and recording may comprise a first foot-operable switch and a second foot-operable switch. a first processing module may control playback of midi sequences in response to activation commands associated with the first foot-operable switch. a second processing module may control recording and playback of audio loops in response to activation commands associated with the second foot-operable switch. the activation commands for both the first and second processing modules may be triggered based on a duration and frequency of user application of the respective foot-operable switch. the system may allow for various control operations, including triggering main and fill midi sequences, transitioning between sequences, stopping playback, commencing and stopping audio recording, initiating loop playback, and overdubbing recorded audio loops.
