ABSTRACT:
A sound effects control system for musical instruments comprises a tactile controller and a control box. The controller generates, by means of manual or other bodily manipulation, a control signal which is communicated to the control box. The control box receives an output signal from the musical instrument and modifies it in accordance with the control signal received from the controller. The modified output signal is then communicated to a traditional amplifier which produces variations in the sound effects of the musical instrument, such as volume, tremolo, reverberation, etc. The tactile controller comprises a fluid-filled lumen which, in combination with the compressible material of the controller, is collapsible in response to manual manipulation in order to generate a static pressure control signal for varying the sound effects of the musical instrument. A wide variety of controller shapes, sizes, configurations, and locations on the musical instrument are available.
