Abstract:
Trigger devices, systems, and methods for sensing a strike on a vibratory membrane. A trigger device includes an optical sensor positioned a distance from the vibratory membrane and a processing device. The optical sensor includes an emitter that emits modulated light towards the vibratory membrane and a receiver that receives the modulated light that has reflected off the vibratory membrane and generates an electrical signal corresponding to the received modulated light. The electrical signal includes a peak corresponding to a detected strike on the vibratory membrane. The processing device isolates the peak from the electrical signal and generates one or more of a signal and data corresponding to the electrical signal.

Claim (Index 17):
The non-contact trigger device of  claim 16 , wherein the one or more programming instructions, when executed, further cause the processing device to receive one or more additional signals from the one or more force sensitive resistors or piezoelectric sensors, the one or more additional signals corresponding to a hit or strike on a trigger pad.
