| Title: |
Activity Indication, External Source, and Processing Loop Provisions for Driven Vibrating-Element Environments |
| Abstract: |
This patent describes an invention providing electronically-induced drive
environments for one or more mechanically-vibrating physical elements,
including those environments applicable to musical instrument application.
One aspect of the invention provides for visual indication of one or more
drive levels in very general electronically-driven vibrating-elements
environments. Other aspects of the invention provide for loop signal
processing and the use of external drive sources applicable to a variety
of types of sense transducers, drive transducers, and vibrating elements
in isolated or grouped configurations. Additional aspects of the invention
provide for pluralities of drive transducers and drive signals as applied
to individual or groups of vibrating elements within the invention's
environments. Yet further aspects of the invention provide for
advantageous use of piezo drive transducers and hall-effect sense
transducers within the invention's environment as alternatives to
electromagnetic transducers.
