ABSTRACT:
A music synthesizer has a pivotable and slidable bar mounted in front of the keyboard of the synthesizer, the bar disposed generally parallel thereto whereby a wrist of a player may cause the bar either to pivot about an external hinge or pivot, or to slide about an axis of the bar. An actuating member is provided which responds to motion of the bar to mechanically operate potentiometers of the synthesizer to provide variably positioned dependent analog signals as inputs to the synthesizer.
