First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for processing audio signals for a stringed instrument, comprising:
- receiving a serial data stream with a serial data interface of a computing device, the serial data stream encoding a plurality of digital audio signals, each digital audio signal representing one of a plurality of strings of the stringed instrument;
extracting the encoded digital audio signals from the serial data stream using the computing device; and
processing each of the extracted digital audio signals with the computing device, thereby generating a plurality of processed digital audio signals, each of the processed digital audio signals corresponding to one of the plurality of strings of the stringed instrument.
