ABSTRACT:
An electronic stringed instrument applicable to an electronic guitar, violin etc., picks up string vibrations to produce a direct sound. The direct sound is combined with additional sound which is produced by processing the picked-up signal. The direct sound and the processed sound are controlled according to string vibrations. The picked-up signal is converted into a digital signal which is then processed to produce the processed sound whose characteristic is controlled depending on the amplitude and/or pitch of the picked-up signal.
