Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for producing lighting for a musical instrument are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, light is produced using LEDs responsive to sound input such that the amount of light produced by the LEDs, or the sequence and/or color produced by the LEDs, is proportional to or otherwise associated with the noise level detected by a microphone. The light produced may take the form of an animation or sequence that resembles a moving object, such as rainfall or a spiral, for example. Furthermore, a user can easily tune the lighting system to control various aspects of the light generated by the LEDs, for example, to adjust a sound level threshold, an animation speed/delay, or a brightness setting of the lighting system.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for providing an LED animation for a musical instrument, said method comprising:\n defining an LED brightness level adjustment responsive to a setting of a first input device; defining an LED animation speed adjustment responsive to a setting of a second input device; defining an LED animation sound level threshold adjustment responsive to a setting of a third input device; generating real-time control signals for illuminating a plurality of LEDs communicatively coupled to an LED interface to display an LEI) animation that is adjustable and dynamic wherein said LED animation is adjustable in accordance with settings from said first, second and third input device and wherein said LED animation is dynamic by dynamically altering in accordance with detected real-time sound signals; sending said real-time control signals to said LEI) interface; and the plurality of LEDs displaying the adjustable, dynamic LED animation responsive to said real-time sound signals generated by the musical instrument and in accordance with said LED animation speed adjustment.
