Abstract:
An arrangement for enabling at least one first object selectively to strike, at least once, at least one second object in order to produce therefrom, a desired operational sonic response, the arrangement comprising: a first apparatus selectively operable by an interaction between a part of a user and said first apparatus wherein a first movement of the part of the user makes a first interaction with said first apparatus to develop a force causing movement of the at least one first object toward said at least one second object, and wherein a second movement of the same part of the user in a direction opposite the first movement makes a second interaction with said first apparatus to develop a force, in addition to any biasing force, causing movement of the at least one first object away from said at least one second object, and a programmable electronic unit, which generates electronic signals for driving said at least one first object in addition to said first and second movements of the first apparatus, the programmable electronic unit being pre-programmed to create a desired sequence of electronic drive pulses and which can be brought into, and out of, action, under the control of the user.
