Electric instrument music control device with multi-axis position sensors
First Claim
1. An electric instrument music control device comprising:
- a reference multi-axis position sensor retained in a fixed position, wherein the reference multi-axis position sensor has at least one axis held in a fixed position;
a moveable multi-axis position sensor rotatable about at least one axis corresponding to the at least one axis of the reference multi-axis position sensor, wherein the moveable multi-axis position sensor is in communication with the reference multi-axis position sensor;
a processor that processes the differentiation between the angular position of the at least one axis of the reference multi-axis position sensor and the at least one axis of the moveable multi-axis position sensor, wherein the angular differentiation correlates to a music effect of an electric instrument; and
a wireless connection between the reference multi-axis position sensor and the moveable multi-axis position sensor, the communication between the sensors occurring through the wireless connection.

Abstract
An electric instrument music control device is provided having at least two multi-axis position sensors. One sensor is a reference multi-axis position sensor retained in a fixed position the reference multi-axis position sensor having at least one axis held in a fixed position. Another sensor is a moveable multi-axis position sensor rotatable about at least one axis corresponding to the at least one axis of the reference multi-axis position sensor, wherein the moveable multi-axis position sensor is in communication with the reference multi-axis position sensor. The device may include a processor that processes the differentiation between the angular position of the at least one axis of the reference multi-axis position sensor and the at least one axis of the moveable multi-axis position sensor, wherein the angular differentiation correlates to a music effect of an electric instrument.

8. An electric instrument music control device comprising:
-
a reference multi-axis position sensor retained in a fixed position, wherein the reference multi-axis position sensor has at least one axis held in a fixed position; a moveable multi-axis position sensor rotatable about at least one axis corresponding to the at least one axis of the reference multi-axis position sensor, wherein the moveable multi-axis position sensor is in communication with the reference multi-axis position sensor and is removably coupled to a moveable appendage of a musician; a processor that processes the differentiation between the angular position of the at least one axis of the reference multi-axis position sensor and the at least one axis of the moveable multi-axis position sensor, wherein the angular differentiation correlates to a music effect of an electric instrument; and a dynamic distance between the reference multi-axis position sensor and the moveable multi-axis position sensor, wherein the dynamic distance changes in response to movement of the musician toward and away from the reference multi-axis position sensor. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
