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 9):
A method of producing LED lighting for a musical instrument responsive to sound produced by said musical instrument, said method comprising:\n sending control signals to an LED interface to cause the LED interface to illuminate a plurality of LEDs, disposed in an array, using an LED animation sequence; measuring a sound level produced by the musical instrument in real-time using a microphone; determining that the sound level of the musical instrument is above a sound level threshold; receiving input from an input device to adjust an animation speed of the LED animation sequence; and generating updated control signals for the LED interface, wherein the updated control signals dynamically adjust the LED animation sequence responsive to determining that the sound level is above the sound level threshold, wherein the LED interface controls the plurality of LEDs to produce the LED animation sequence in accordance with said sound level produced by said musical instrument and said animation speed of the LED animation sequence.
