Abstract:
Provided is an electrophonic chordophone system ( 20 ) comprising sensor ( 24 ) configured to be operatively responsive to respective strings of a guitar ( 22 ). The system ( 20 ) also includes non-transitory processor-readable storage means ( 26 ) which contains first and second user-configurable tonal formats ( 28 ) and ( 30 ). Also included is processor ( 32 ), arranged in signal communication with the sensor ( 24 ) and storage means ( 26 ), and adapted to associate a melody group of notes producible by the strings with the first tonal format ( 28 ) in a one-to-one mapping or direct correlation, and to associate a control group of notes producible by the strings with the second tonal format ( 30 ) in a one-to-many mapping or indirect correlation. Also included is a synthesiser ( 34 ), arranged in signal communication with the processor ( 32 ), and configured to produce both the first and second tonal formats simultaneously in substantial real-time. The first tonal format ( 28 ) is actuatable via the melody group of notes and the second tonal format ( 30 ) is dynamically selectable via the control group of notes and also actuatable via the melody group of notes. In this manner, a melody is producible via the first tonal format ( 28 ) with a dynamic backing track producible via the second tonal format ( 30 ), all using one guitar ( 22 ).

Claim (Index 18):
A computer-implemented electrophonic chordophone method comprising the steps of:\n sensing respective strings of a guitar; associating a melody group of notes producible by the strings with a first tonal format in a one-to-one mapping; associating a control group of notes producible by the strings with a second tonal format in a one-to-many mapping, said control group forming a subset of the melody group; and in response to actuation of the strings, synthesising both the first and second tonal formats simultaneously in substantial real-time, the first tonal format actuatable via the melody group of notes and the second tonal format dynamically selectable via the control group of notes and actuatable via the melody group of notes, so that a melody is produced via the first tonal format and a dynamic backing track, independent of the melody, comprising multiple timbres is producible via the second tonal format.
