ABSTRACT:
A guitar controller for an electronic music synthesizer utilizes a multiplexed string energization and fret acquisition system wherein a high impedance buffer allows voltages to be detected off the strings at the various frets without drawing current through the frets or fret/string contacts. Unique string bend and string vibration sensors and expression auxiliary sensors are additionally disclosed.
