Abstract

本发明提供一种用于操作效果器的系统。本发明的目的是通过一种可由吉他弹奏者操作的遥控装置实现的。所述系统包括由吉他弹奏者使用的遥控装置以及至少一个效果器，其中，所述的至少一个效果器可从所述遥控装置控制。

Description

效果器
技术领域
本发明总体涉及效果器(effect pedal)，更具体地说，涉及一种用于操作吉他的效果器的系统和方法。
背景技术
效果器在现有技术中是已知的，它是一种放置在吉他弹奏者面前的地板上用于为吉他增加效果和调节效果的装置。这种效果器具有踏板、用脚激活的开关、以及调节旋钮。
在现有技术中，专利US2013/0058507公开了一种系统和方法，其中，智能电话控制音频系统，其中智能电话的声频信号以无线方式传送至麦克风或吉他。在该专利中未公开与效果器的直接连接。
专利US2013/0177176公开了一种用于开关效果器的开关，该开关优选使用继电器。在该专利中未公开改变效果器的参数。
标准GB 2472022公开了一种混频器，该混频器可开启和关闭效果，但是不能控制效果器。
最后，专利US2013/0312588公开了一种虚拟效果器。
发明内容
本发明要解决的问题
由于吉他弹奏者常常使用一套很大的效果器，因此在希望进行当众表演时，效果的调节很麻烦，并且很耗时。这还意味着吉他弹奏者不得不靠近效果器，尤其是在进行变更时；另外，吉他弹奏者还必须俯身以进行这种变更。
因此，本发明的一个主要目的是提供一种用于便捷地操作不只一个效果器的系统和方法。
解决问题的方法
本发明的目的是通过由权利要求1的前序部分限定的效果器遥控装置实现的，该遥控装置具有由权利要求1的特征部分限定的特征。
附属权利要求限定了本发明的一些示例性实施方式、变化形式或替代形式。
本发明通过一种可由吉他弹奏者操作的遥控装置实现了上述目的。所述系统包括由吉他弹奏者使用的遥控装置以及至少一个效果器，其中，所述的至少一个效果器可从所述遥控装置控制。
在一种优选实施方式中，所述遥控装置可附接至吉他、吉他背带或肩带。
在一种优选实施方式中，所述遥控装置利用无线通信操作至少一个效果器。在可替代实施方式中，所述遥控装置使用超声波或红外装置进行通信。
本发明的效果
本发明与传统效果器相比的技术差异是，吉他弹奏者现在能够从遥控装置控制不只一个效果器。而且，吉他弹奏者不再受限于效果器附近的区域，而是能够更自由地走动。
这些效果又提供了多种进一步的有利效果：
·能够随时改变效果器；
·不再需要俯身去调节通常放置在地板上的效果器。
附图说明
本发明的上述特征和更多特征在所附权利要求中详细陈述，并且，通过阅读下文中参照附图做出的本发明的示例性实施方式的详细说明，本发明的这些特征以及其优点将变得更明显。
下面，将结合在附图中示意性地示出的示例性实施方式进一步说明本发明，在附图中：
图1示出了一种无线式效果器；
图2详细示出了无线控制装置。
具体实施方式
下面参照附图更全面地说明本公开的各个特征。但是，本公开可按许多不同的形式实施，不局限于在本公开中所示的任何特定结构或功能。给出这些特征的说明的目的是便于本领域技术人员充分、全面地理解本公开，并充分理解本公开的范围。基于本文的教导，本领域技术人员应理解，本公开的范围意图涵盖在此公开的本公开的任何特征，不论这些特征是独立实现的，还是与本公开的任何其它特征结合实现的。例如，可利用在此所述的许多特征实现具体设备或实施具体方法。另外，本公开的范围意图涵盖不仅利用在此所述的本公开的各个特征还利用其它结构、功能、或者结构和功能实现的此类设备和方法。应理解，在此公开的本公开的任何特征可由权利要求中限定的一个或多个元件实现。
下面结合在附图中示意性地示出的示例性实施方式进一步说明本发明。
构成本发明的基础的原理
图1和图2分别示出了无线控制装置10和相应的无线效果器20。遥控装置10附接至吉他、吉他背带或肩带，因而吉他弹奏者可快捷地操作该遥控装置10。
本发明的最佳实施方式
在本发明的设备的一种实施方式中，无线控制装置10在吉他的琴弦附近附接至吉他，以便操作，而效果器20放置在地板上。图1详细示出了遥控装置10，该遥控装置10具有易于读取的表盘和控制按钮。在本发明的一种实施方式中，所述遥控装置包括不同的控制功能，包括：效果参数旋钮、节奏按钮、开关按钮、前一个/下一个按钮、无线通信等。效果参数旋钮布置在无线吉他控制装置10上，并且还是用于控制节奏的组合按钮。轻按此按钮两次，可设置时基效果参数的速度/节奏，例如延时效果的两次回响之间的间隔。预设按钮允许用户存储效果组合的不同预设值，并可在表演过程中的任何时候以无线方式从吉他调用这些预设值。无线控制装置10与吉他效果器20之间的通信是采用超声波通信或红外通信的无线通信方式。
图2示出了放置在地板上的效果器20，该效果器20具有读取显示屏，便于吉他弹奏者读取，而无需俯身。在本发明的一种实施方式中，效果器20包括不同的控制功能，包括：前一个/下一个脚踏选择开关(FX选择)、效果参数旋钮、脚踏开关等。开关允许用户选择使吉他效果器20上的不同效果参数之中的哪一个变为活跃状态(亮起)，以便从无线吉他控制装置10上的效果参数旋钮进行控制。
所述系统优选包括由吉他弹奏者使用的一个遥控装置10和不只一个遥控效果器20。它可连接至现有的常规设备，例如扩音器以及外部模拟和数字效果装置。
系统或遥控装置10优选可配置为能同时调节不只一个效果器20。
可替代实施方式
可考虑上述实施方式的多种变化形式。例如，所述系统还可包括用于视觉反馈的装置，例如平板电脑。该装置可用于向吉他弹奏者通知当前状态，以及用于控制系统。该装置可通过不引人注意的方式附接至原有设备，例如麦克风架。
在一种优选实施方式，该装置是运行应用程序的平板电脑或智能电话。在一种更优选的实施方式中，该装置利用无线通信与系统的其余部分通信。
除了可操作一个遥控装置10来控制多个效果器20的配置外，还可考虑可操作多个遥控装置10来控制一个或多个效果器20的配置。在至少一个效果器20可由不只一个遥控装置10控制的系统中，比较有利的方式是确保在调节过程中效果器20锁定至一个遥控装置10。还可考虑从系统经由遥控装置10向吉他弹奏者提供反馈，例如触觉反馈。
工业实用性
本发明可由吉他弹奏者在当众演出时以及在演播室中演奏时使用。
