Description

Bei dem Gerät handelt es sich um ein neues elektronisches Musikinstrument.The device is a new electronic musical instrument.

Herkömmliche elektronische Musikinstrumente zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass diese über ein Keyboard angesteuert werden, diein der Regel über 49, 61 oder 88 Tasten verfügen. Der Nachteil ist aber, dass ein Nutzer nicht die Möglichkeiten, die so ein Instrument bietet, ausschöpfen kann, ohne vorher ein Tasteninstrument erlernt zu haben.Conventional electronic musical instruments are characterized in that they are controlled via a keyboard, which usually has 49, 61 or 88 keys. The disadvantage, however, is that a user cannot exploit the possibilities offered by such an instrument without first having learned how to play a keyboard instrument.

Elektronisch Musikinstrumente verfügen normalerweise über einen standardisierten MIDI-Input. Das technische Problem ist über diese Schnittstelle auch Nutzern, die eine Gitarre oder ein gitarrenähnliches Instrument spielen können, die Möglichkeiten zu eröffnen, ein elektronisches Musikinstrument anzusteuern.Electronic musical instruments usually have a standardized MIDI input. The technical problem is that users who can play a guitar or a guitar-like instrument can also use this interface to open up the possibility of controlling an electronic musical instrument.

Die Lösung dieses Problems liegt in der vorliegenden Erfindung. Dadurch wird es einem Gitarristen ermöglicht, mit der ihm vertrauten Griff- und Spieltechnik die Möglichkeiten der elektronischen Musikinstrumente zu nutzen.The solution to this problem lies in the present invention. This enables a guitarist to use the possibilities of electronic musical instruments with the familiar fingering and playing technique.

In Folge der erheblichen Reduzierung der Kontaktgeber im Vergleich zu handelsüblichen Tasteninstrumenten sowie der sinnvollen Aufteilung in zwei Funktionseinheiten, die zum einen die Begleitautomatik und zum anderen den Solopart abdecken, ermöglicht es auch ungeübten Nutzern in kurzer Zeit ein von Erfolgserlebnissen gekröntes Erlernen des Instrumentes.As a result of the considerable reduction in the number of contactors compared to standard keyboard instruments and the sensible division into two functional units, which cover the automatic accompaniment on the one hand and the solo part on the other, it also enables inexperienced users to learn the instrument in a short time, crowned with a sense of achievement.

Hervorzuheben ist, dass die Funktionseinheiten unter musiktheoretischen Aspekten, basierend auf der Harmonielehre, aufeinander abgestimmt sind und außerdem durch deren ergonomische Anordnung auf dem Instrument dazu beitragen, dass das Spielen auf dem Instrument wesentlich vereinfacht wird.It should be emphasized that the functional units are coordinated with one another from a music-theoretical point of view, based on the theory of harmony, and that their ergonomic arrangement on the instrument also contributes to making playing the instrument much easier.
