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 19):
The electronic musical system as in  claim 9 , wherein the pitch selection comprises one or more of notes and bends, and wherein the articulation action comprises one or more of velocity and spatial movement corresponding to one or more musical effects.
