Embodiment Construction

[0050] The same reference numerals denote the same parts herein. Reference is made below to a user's hand and reference is made to various parts of the hand. Palm refers to the "underside" of the fingers. The "top" of the palm refers to the part directly below the fingers.

[0051] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a device worn on a user's hand, and a computing device constituting an electronic percussion instrument system. refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B , the device comprises a support structure 10 worn on the left hand. Such as Figure 1B As shown, the support structure 10 includes a bendable strap to allow the user to position the support structure 10 on the hand. The support structure 10 comprises an annular portion through which the index finger of the user's hand extends. The support structure 10 consists of soft silicone material. Optionally, the support structure 10 may comprise a soft, flexible and non-brittle elastomer.

Abstract

Apparatus for an electronic percussion system is provided, comprising: a plurality of sensors (12, 14, 16, 18); attaching means (10) for attaching the sensors to the hand and locating the sensors eachat a respective predetermined location thereon, wherein each of the sensors is configured to send information for receipt by a determining means in response to impact of the sensor on a contact surface, wherein the attaching means and the sensors are together configured so that such information enables the determining means to distinguish each of the gestures from each other of the gestures. Eachpredetermined gesture is mapped to a respective sample, and performing of the gesture causes playing of the respective sample. The gestures may include a finger clicking action, a chest slap and a hand clap. There is also provided a related method of determining a percussion gesture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices for use in electronic percussion instrument systems. The invention also relates to a related method. Background technique [0002] Body percussion is very popular, and body percussion refers to the musicians making different sounds by making various striking gestures, especially on various parts of the body. For example, musicians can produce different sounds by finger tapping, thumping, chest tapping, and hand clapping. [0003] People have tried to invent various wearable electronic musical instruments. In particular, trying to place sensors on the fingers so that the user can make sounds with the same movements as playing the piano. In addition, the known patent document US8362350B2 discloses a palm-mountable shock sensor that generates a signal when the surface is struck with an open, flat palm. [0004] However, there is currently no known wearable electronic musical instrument with which the user can p...
