Abstract

A sound generation system for proving surround sound includes a sound generation means, a plurality of sound channels and a recording means. The sound generation means is for operation by a user to generate sounds and includes a plurality of interface members for generating sounds. Each interface member is operable by the user to generate an associated sound. The plurality of sound channels is for receiving sound from the plurality of interface members. Each interface member in the plurality of interface members is connected to a distinct associated channel in the plurality of sound channels to transmit the associated sound to the distinct associated channel. The recording means is for recording sound from each sound from each channel in the plurality of sound channels.
