Abstract:
1. A method for simultaneously controlling the waveform amplitude information of two independent audio signals, comprising the steps of: a. providing two audio signal inputs originating from a multiplicity of acoustical-electrical transducer pickups that are incorporated into a picked or plucked stringed musical instrument, said two signals being different, and b. providing a joystick having two or more axes, a base and a handle, said handle being movable in relation to said base within a motion limit, and said base being mounted to said instrument's body adjacent to the picked or plucked section of said instrument's strings, so that said joystick's location is more particularly described as: c. providing a translation means for translating the position of said joystick handle in relation to said joystick base as corresponding independent modifications of the waveform amplitude information of said individual input signals to provide two resultant independent signals,
