Abstract:
In one embodiment, an electronic musical instrument (EMI) (or “electronic multi-instrument) is described that separates pitch choice from percussive sound control (“articulation”). A pitch sensor interface (by which notes are selected) may comprise a software-programmed touchscreen interface (that can be modeled on existing musical instruments or entirely new) configured to allow pitch choice, while sound control may be made on a separate articulation control sensor (by which notes are triggered and modified), such as an illustrative double-sided touch pad, that senses one or more of a velocity, pressure, movement, and location of a user's contact. The design facilitates a portable, ergonomic, and intuitive way to express music via standard digital protocols (e.g., MIDI) through a physical interface that encourages fluid, non-static, personally distinguishable musical expression. Notably, the instrument may illustratively be a controller that requires a compatible synthesizer sound source (e.g., on-board or separate).

Claim (Index 5):
The method as in  claim 1 , further comprising:\n combining the pitch selection and the articulation action into the musical instructions and sending the musical instructions to the sound generator in response to the articulation action being activated when the pitch selection signal is received.
