Abstract:
Provided is an electrophonic chordophone system ( 20 ) comprising sensor ( 24 ) configured to be operatively responsive to respective strings of a guitar ( 22 ). The system ( 20 ) also includes non-transitory processor-readable storage means ( 26 ) which contains first and second user-configurable tonal formats ( 28 ) and ( 30 ). Also included is processor ( 32 ), arranged in signal communication with the sensor ( 24 ) and storage means ( 26 ), and adapted to associate a melody group of notes producible by the strings with the first tonal format ( 28 ) in a one-to-one mapping or direct correlation, and to associate a control group of notes producible by the strings with the second tonal format ( 30 ) in a one-to-many mapping or indirect correlation. Also included is a synthesiser ( 34 ), arranged in signal communication with the processor ( 32 ), and configured to produce both the first and second tonal formats simultaneously in substantial real-time. The first tonal format ( 28 ) is actuatable via the melody group of notes and the second tonal format ( 30 ) is dynamically selectable via the control group of notes and also actuatable via the melody group of notes. In this manner, a melody is producible via the first tonal format ( 28 ) with a dynamic backing track producible via the second tonal format ( 30 ), all using one guitar ( 22 ).

Claim (Index 17):
The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the notes comprising the melody group of notes and the notes comprising the control group of notes are user-configurable by means of a software application executed by the processor.
