A programmable pickup director switching system for a musical instrument having a plurality of pickup coils and a pickup director control board communicatively interconnected to the plurality of pickup coils. The system also includes a push/pull potentiometer structured and arranged to activate different combinations of one or more of the plurality of pickup coils, a main multi-position switch having m positions, and a bank select switch having n positions. Additionally, the system includes a switching matrix configured to switch one or more of the plurality of pickup coils into a signal path based on a position of at least one of the main multi-position switch, the bank select switch and the push/pull potentiometer.

Programmable pickup director switching system and method of use

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to a pressure-based input method for user devices. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a user device can receive an output from a pressure sensor. The output can include parameters associated with a pressure applied to the pressure sensor by a user. The user device can analyze the output to determine a command to be executed by the user device. The user device can execute the command.

Pressure-based input method for user devices

An audio coupling device is disclosed that includes a connector for an electric musical instrument, a connector for a handheld computing device, and a connector for headphones. The device may also include electrical decoupling and shielding mechanisms.

Audio coupling device to couple an electric musical instrument to a handheld computing device

This invention discloses a switching system for any odd or even number of two or more matched vibrations sensors, such that all possible circuits of such sensors that can be produced by the system are humbucking, rejecting external interferences signals. The sensors must be matched, especially with respect to response to external hum and internal impedance, and be capable of being made or arranged so that the responses of individual sensors to vibration can be inverted, compared to another matched sensor, placed in the same physical position, while the interference signal is not. Such that for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 sensors, there exist 1, 6, 25, 90, 301, 966 and 3025 unique humbucking circuits, respectively, with signal outputs that can be either single-ended or differential. Embodiments of switching systems include electro-mechanical switches, programmable switches, solid-state digital-analog switches, and micro-controller driven solid state switches using time-series to spectral-series transforms to pick the order of tones from bright to warm and back.

Means and methods for switching odd and even numbers of matched pickups to produce all humbucking tones

A musical instrument pickup, having a pickup body, a tone shaping circuit, and at least one integrated control in and/or on the pickup body. Embodiments of the present disclosure may utilize one or more techniques, alone or in combination, to adjust, e.g., the tone of a musical instrument by changing the frequency response of a pickup with the one or more integrated controls. One exemplary technique utilizes a plurality of knobs to selectively control the gain, resonant frequency, and/or circuit Q of the pickup.

Pickup with one or more integrated controls

A musical instrument switching system includes a) a control circuit controllable for combining and routing the analog audio, the control circuit comprising a plurality of instrument pickups for transmitting analog audio, and a controller connector for allowing connection of the control circuit to a computing device, and b) a software program, installable in the computing device, for modifying the characteristics of the musical instrument.
