In one embodiment, a programmable pedalboard for a musical instrument is provided. The pedalboard includes a docking station for receiving a removable portable computer that provides a plurality of instrument effects. The docking station is configured to receive an audio signal from a musical instrument and to modify the audio signal from the musical instrument based on at least one instrument effect from the plurality of instrument effects.

Programmable musical instrument pedalboard

A system comprises an audio processor adapted for communication with an audio source and a control cover. The audio processor may have a plurality of manual controls to adjust audio processing parameters based on selected states of the controls. The control cover may engage the audio processor to restrict movement of the manual controls and maintain the manual controls in their selected states. The audio processor may be a pedal-processor.

System including device for securing the states of electronic controls

Lock for audio component controls

An effects and recording system is provided which is capable of recording at least one of a received audio signal and a processed audio signal generated by the application of musical effects to the received audio signal. The audio signal may be captured from any device capable of producing an audio signal. The effects and recording system may provide various recording capabilities including auto track selection and arming, automatic signal routing, delayed recording initialization, automatic level setting and panning settings, editing capabilities, and the merging of recorded tracks. Additionally, the effects and recording system may provide various monitoring capabilities, including automatic level, panning, and/or effects or other filtering of signals recorded or monitored via the system, as well as an enhanced mix-down feature, and music mix-down type.

Effects and recording system

This invention provides a system for customizing musical instrument signal processing enabling users to produce different tonal characteristics in created musical pieces. In order to create such tonal characteristics, a new mathematical model of tonal characteristics may be digitally created based on two or more initial mathematical models of tonal characteristics. After simulating a first and second initial mathematical models of tonal characteristics, the new mathematical model is created by interpolating one or more coefficients of the first and second initial mathematical models. The new mathematical model may also adjust a control parameter where the control parameter may exist between two values. When the control parameter is the first value, the new mathematical model is the first initial mathematical model. When the control parameter is the second value, the new mathematical model may be the second initial mathematical model. When the control parameter is located at a point between the first and second values, the new mathematical model may represent a convergence between the first and second models.

A device for preventing the rotation of a power drill attachment relative to a power drill is provided and is described in combination with a liquid sprayer. The device having a container ( ) with a supply tube ( ) extending downward into the container ( ) and upward into a pump inlet ( ) which is open to a pump ( ) The pump ( ) has on the rearward side a pump seal ( ) and a pump drive ( ) and on the forward side a pump outlet ( ) and nozzle ( ). The pump has a rod ( ) affixed to it by means of a rod attachment ( ). The rod ( ) extends rearward and includes an ergonomic rod pillow ( ). Also included is a power drill ( ) including a power drill trigger ( ) and a power drill chuck ( ). When energized the power drill ( ) imparts rotational energy to the pump ( ). Rotation of the pump ( ) relative to the power drill ( ) is prevented by the communication of the rod ( ) the rod attachment ( ) and the housing of the power drill ( ).
