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 20):
The electronic musical system as in  claim 9 , further comprising:\n a body portion on which the pitch selection sensor is located; and a neck portion on which the multi-faceted articulation sensing device is located.
