Abstract

Disclosed herein are wireless switching systems for use with stringed musical instruments (e.g., guitars) to enable a user to seamlessly change pickup coil settings without having to adjust the wiring between the switch and the pickups. In one example aspect, a system includes a musical instrument having one or more pickups attached thereto, a switch device or mechanism mounted on the musical instrument and in electronic communication with the one or more pickups, a computing device configured for wireless communication with the switch, and a switch management software application program.

IPC Classes  ?

• G10H 1/00 - Details of electrophonic musical instruments
• G10H 1/02 - Means for controlling the tone frequencies, e.g. attack or decayMeans for producing special musical effects, e.g. vibratos or glissandos
• G10H 1/055 - Means for controlling the tone frequencies, e.g. attack or decayMeans for producing special musical effects, e.g. vibratos or glissandos by additional modulation during execution only by switches with variable impedance elements
• G10H 1/18 - Selecting circuits
• G10H 1/34 - Switch arrangements, e.g. keyboards or mechanical switches specially adapted for electrophonic musical instruments

Abstract

Wirelessly programmed and controlled switching system for use with stringed musical instruments (e.g., guitars) to enable a user to seamlessly change pickup coil settings without having to adjust the physical connections between the switch and the pickups.

IPC Classes  ?

• G10H 3/18 - Instruments in which the tones are generated by electromechanical means using mechanical resonant generators, e.g. strings or percussion instruments, the tones of which are picked up by electromechanical transducers, the electrical signals being further manipulated or amplified and subsequently converted to sound by a loudspeaker or equivalent device using mechanically actuated vibrators with pick-up means using strings, e.g. electric guitars
